Food Journal

For the next 6-8 weeks my blog is going to have a lot of boring nutrition focus.  I'll still be training for tri, but I'm going to be changing up my training schedule a bit with a little more swimming, in the way of Masters and the addition of weight training. It seems the new thyroid meds might be working... though I hate to be hopeful so quickly.  I'm down 10 lbs. since starting them, and no mystery weight gain after the 70.3 like what happened with Redman. 

Today I have a 3,000 yd swim for my exercise.

  1. What food log are you using? I so don't know how many calories to follow. I mean I do but I want to find that magic number you know. And I know it is going to take tweaking to find it. I do know I need fuel to do the workouts I have. It just seems so overwhelming sometimes. I would love to continue to drop some weight as I go through this season. So far so good. Slow but hey any weight loss is great right?

I Loved It! Moving Comfort Compression Running Shorts

Image
Thanks to Misty over at the Athena Diaries, I have a new love! The Moving Comfort MCW Compression Running Short.

I have been a long-time fan of MC's sports bras; they are a less expensive alternative to the Enell and keep *things* in place just as well. The Maia is my favorite -- I swim, bike and run in them without any discomfort. I am still on the hunt for a good high impact racer-back bra for a D.

I ordered my shorts but was on the fence with regard to sizing. I call the folks up at Moving Comfort and they were nice and helpful. The customer service rep suggested the MCW version, when I told her my issues and how I am right on the tail end of regular sizes. So I went with their a "MCW" collection. I'm glad I did.

It was nice to know that the MCW version was exactly the same tech-wear, just sized for the fuller figure and 1/2" longer. I really appreciated that the fit wasn't just a larger size of the regular sized version. They took into account the areas plu…

Donna's Copycat Fuji Apple Chicken Salad Recipe

Image
So I went to Panera Bread the other day and enjoyed their Fuji Apple Chicken salad. I have to say it was yummy. But after I went to the website and read the nutritional content I was less than pleased. A 500+ Calorie salad and a ton of ingredient names in the dressing I can't even pronounce. Although one that I can pronounce is Propelyn Glycol, which is found in lighter fluid. Uh, yeah... I don't think so.

So I took it upon myself to make a similar salad.

Salad Fixin's
Romain Lettuce (they used mixed Spring Greens)
Red Onion
Pecans (just a few per salad)
Tomatoes
Dried Apple Chips
Gorgonzola Cheese (just enough)
Rotisserie Chicken (Breast only No Skin)

Donna's Fake Fuji Apple Dressing (6 servings)
2 T. Olive Oil
1 T. White Balsamic Vinegar
1 T. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 T. Garlic Powder
1 T. Onion Powder
1 1/2 t. Dijon Mustard
3 T. Organic Frozen Applejuice Concentrate
