What did you eat today?

[Tri Girl]

I ate 2 pints of ice cream today.

Seriously hormonal eating.

I'm not laughing at you, Tri Girl, I'm laughing WITH you. That is awesomely crazy

Yesterday I had some incredible moroccan tilapia with raisin + almond couscous. For dessert? Apple tart with bacon-cheddar crust. Dood.

Crankin, do you ride everyday?? Seems like you do. Are you partially retired? Doesn't your body get tired from riding everyday? I couldn't figure out why I was so tired all the time or why I had no energy at work; I work the dinner shift at a restaurant and run around all night. Then I stopped riding for a week and I was bouncing off the walls with energy. Maybe I need a day job where I can sit? Then I could ride everyday? I just want to ride and ride forever and ever! Have a great Vacation. I'll be on Ragbrai in 2 weeks eating tons of PIE!!!

In looking at your posts in this thread, I have to say I've been struck by how little you often eat and, in particular, how little protein you eat. Have you considered the possibility that your diet might explain your fatigue? I know that's a pretty loaded subject, and it certainly was for me at one time. I'd just encourage you to fuel your body sufficiently and worry less about the scale. Oh, and drink a lot of water.

Aquamoose, I don't want to seem like we're jumping on you, but I can tell you that I'd probably starve (or be very cranky) on what you eat.

I have to say for certain, any restaurant job where one is standing on their feet for an evening or day shift, does require burning off enough calories.

Watching servers run around in a moderately busy restaurant, I know that I couldn't have a job like that for a decade without burning out abit. Maybe that explains why my father could eat a large plate of rice with other stuff for dinner..for several decades of his life. He was full-time restaurant cook for over 5 decades of his life. And never overweight, actually abit underweight.
