A six oz serving has a ridiculous amount of calories... add in my honey and AB and I've got a perfect breakfast!
    I can't find full-fat Fage around here (why do I want to write "phage" every time?), so I buy the 2%. It's a little weird on its own, but much better when stirred up with honey.

    I should look to see if I can find big tubs of the honey Greek Gods around here. If I can't, it's going to be another thing I can only get after trips to Cincy.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    It's out on the grill right now! We *are* fortunate to have ready access to great seafood. So, every time I see farmed ATLANTIC salmon at Costco or elsewhere, I always wonder why! Well, probably because it's inexpensive. My favorite place to go for fresh seafood is Uwajimaya. They have the best selection around, plus plenty of sushi grade fish. Mmmmmm.

    I am considering going moving from non-fat Greek yogurt to a higher fat percentage version to help. Am I being overly concerned about the fat content in the eggs and dairy?
    About dairy? I'd suggest not. Just stick to non- or low fat. The eggs, IMO, yes. You are losing out on a nutritient dense food by cutting out the yolks. They will not increase you cholesterol.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Thanks, this is what I was wondering. I hadn't seen your message, but I had 2 fresh whole eggs for breakfast. Outside of winter my eggs come from a friends back yard that roam around her yard and garden eating all kinds of good things. They are well cared for and she keeps a close eye on them. The eggs range in size from tiny to huge, and because they are grass-fed, are every color under the sun...but not white. Yummy as well! I just picked up a couple dozen from her yesterday Fresh eggs 2 days old can't be beat! (and no, I've never used THOSE for egg whites - that would be a waste!)

    My friends treated me to a special weekend downtown Chicago. It was a 10-year belated bachelorette/bridal shower party. Although, toned down quite a bit from what I imagine it would have been

    Here's a sampling of what we ate . . . (I like modeling food) (And I'm not looking foward to weigh-in on Friday)

    The food looks awesome, but not as good as YOU look! Nothing wrong with the occasional indulgence

    That looks like an awesome feast!

    I ran out of energy gels and no bike shop was open before work this morning so I picked up some Welch's fruit snacks for energy on my rides that are increasing both in number/duration. Others have used them for centuries or marathons so they might be a cost-effective choice for this summer. Along with raisins!

    I saw this today and it made me chuckle. We spend so much time thinking about what we *should* or *shouldn't* be eating, (or maybe it's just me and I need to replace those "we" words with "I"...) and sometimes I think it's really just as simple as this:

    https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater


    Today:
    5:00 banana
    5:30 2600 meter swim
    6:45 Gu Roctane gel
    7:00 40 minute run
    8:30 two eggs scrambled with mushrooms, peppers, scallions, kale and 1/2 of chicken sausage. Topped with a sprinkling of crumbled gorgonzola. Mmmmm.
    Also, a banana with one Tablespoon of the most frickin' awesome almond butter ever: http://shop.wildsquirrelnutbutter.co...ts/joyful-java Big breakfast, but I was hungry!

    Lunch will be my usual spinach salad with various veggies. Topped with 4oz turkey and 1/3 of an avocado. Will also have some carrot/cabbage salad from yesterday.

    Dinner: I have chicken breasts in the fridge, so I'm thinking I'll simmer them with onions, tomatoes, garlic, some broth and maybe a little white wine. Side o' broccoli. If I get home early enough, I'll roast up some brussels and sweet potatoes too! Roasted sweet potatoes are like candy. Who needs dessert when you can have sweet potatoes??

    Mmmm, can I come over for dinner, Susan?

    Actually, in all seriousness, can you post your recipe for your slaw? I love having cold salads in the fridge to grab as snacks!

    Today -
    B: smoothie (almond milk, 1/2 banana, blueberries, strawberries, egg white protein powder, spinach, 1 T coconut milk)
    S: coffee with half n half, small slice of banana bread (paleo version, no sugar added!)
    L: Cabbage and sausage soup, orange, raw milk cheddar
    S: cuban pork topped with coleslaw, apple
    D: grass-fed NY strip steaks, roasted veggies

    Last night I had grass-fed beef liver and onions that I cooked in a cast iron pan on our grill (we currently have no stove) and it was delicious. I'm all iron-rich now too!

    You know where I live!

    Hhmmm, recipe. Well, I kinda made it up based on flavors I like. I grated up some ginger (maybe 3/4 an inch worth off the end of an average size piece of ginger root), crushed a couple cloves of garlic, put in a blob of tahini (maybe a tablespoon), ~4 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar, a splash of balsamic, a tablespoon or so or olive oil, a dash of salt... Tossed it all into my Magic Bullet (love that thing, btw!). I ended up with perhaps 1/2 cup of dressing. This was a enough dressing for a shockingly large pile of carrots (shredded in the food processor) and an entire head of purple cabbage. I'm going to be eating that all week!

    I intended to put in some kale from my garden as well, but the pile of carrots was already so big that there was no room left in the bowl!

    Rest day. I took a 2.5 mile walk before breakfast instead of going to my weight training class
    B: endive stuffed with low fat cream cheese and lox, very small bowl of whole wheat flakes and blueberries, skim milk, coffee
    L: salad with left over salmon, artichoke hearts, red peppers, goat cheese, fig infused vinegar, an apple, nuts and cranberries
    S: slice of Ezekial whole wheat (I don't like it as much as the raisin bread) with soy nut butter.
    I rode about 4 very slow miles with one of my clients
    D: salad with arugula, half a grapefruit, proscuitto, walnuts, olive oil, 2 pieces of sheep's milk cheese

    still hungry

    Ooh, sounds good! Thanks!

    I use my magic bullet every morning for my smoothies! It's great for making those date balls I make in small quantities, too (not that I'm doing that or anything!).
