Tuesday 30 November 2010

Breakfast:  Spinach + cheddar omelette, usual toast, 2 mugs of the usual coffee

Lunch: 1/2 package of Kale Crunchies!

Well, imagine this was a lovely green salad with spinach, celery, tomato, cucumber, avocado, feta cheese, and Tuscan dressing.  As you can see, I couldn't wait to dig in!

Afternoon snack: apple + chia.  (The apples are small, but I think the camera angle is distorting things a bit, Debby.)

Dinner:  Well, this is weird. I tried a couple of times to send the photos from Tuesday evening, but it didn't work.  Thing 2 got some cute ones.  I had the following:

• 4.5 oz. of rib meat (pre-packaged ribs with sauce, picked off the bone)
• Half of a small sweet potato (about 2.5 oz.) with 1 Tbsp of butter
• 1 cup (approx.) of steamed broccoli with 1 tsp of olive oil + garlic powder + lemon pepper
• 1 jell-o pudding cup (sugar free)

This was really satisfying.  And whoa, no nuts!  2nd day of "no sugar added," too.

After everyone else fell asleep, I hopped on the stationary bike and did 2 30-minute programmed rides and 40 minutes on my own.  Yep, I got sucked into a movie.  I did 20 mile in 1 hour and 40 minutes.  (Which, unlike spin class, I think is probably pretty realistic - mph and perceived effort seem to equate better with my actual bike.)  Do I get a cupcake, Lori?  What, I have to ride 40 miles?!?  Darn...
