Food & Exercise -- 10/26-28/2005 (Wednesday to Friday)

I went to Toronto on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday -- got home
around 10:00 last night. A good trip, but tiring -- meetings went
well -- ate too much :-). Back to my routine today.

Wednesday: Left the office in mid-afternoon to head to the airport,
then flew to Toronto. After taking a cab to our hotel, we had a late
dinner with the people we were meeting with at a fairly fancy
restaurant (Crush). Then on the walk back to the hotel we stopped at
a convenience store because a couple of the guys wanted to smoke a
Cuban cigar, and I bought a packet of two butter tarts -- a sort of
pastry that I've only seen in Canada and that has a lot of nostalgic
connections for me from back when I was in grad school there in the
early 70s. I didn't need them a bit, but I ate them. (They're sort
of like little pecan pies but with raisins in them instead of pecans.)

Food:

* 8:30 (home): 30g l/f muesli, 30g All Bran, 22g whey protein, 1 cup
skim milk
* 12:00 (work, brought from home): salad w/ 1 cup mixed greens, some
grape tomatoes, mushrooms, basil, 87g Healthy Choice turkey breast, 3
slices f/f cheese, & 3 tbsp f/f balsamic vinaigrette
* 3:30 (airport): 2 oz. pistachio nuts
* 5:00 (on the plane): 1/2 oz. pretzels

truffles; 10 oz. wine

(37%), 137g protein (27%)

Exercise: None, other than a fair bit of walking around.

Thursday: Met from 8 to 4:30 with the company we were visiting, then
went to the airport and flew home. They fed us breakfast and lunch
during the meeting.

Food:

* 8:00 (meeting food): 1/2 bagel w/ whipped cream cheese; 1/4 large
carrot muffin; 1 container f/f peach yogurt
* 10:30 (meeting food): 1/2 bagel w/ peanut butter; 1/4 large
blueberry muffin
* 12:15 (meeting food): 1 1/2 cups soup (a light sort of tomato-based
chicken soup); 2 brownies {They had a lot of sandwiches but they all
included a spread with red peppers in it, and I'm allergic to
peppers.}
* 3:00 (meeting food): chocolate cookie; chocolate truffle
* 5:30 (airport): tuna fish sandwich
* 10:30 (home): one slice whole wheat bread w/ 3 slices melted f/f
cheese {I'd had plenty of calories already but was hungry -- too many
carbs, not enough protein, I think.)

Totals: 1916 calories, 61g fat (29%), 256g carbs (54%), 86g protein
(18%)

Exercise: None, other than a fair bit of walking around.

Today: Worked at home, then went to the gym, then to the grocery
store, then home.

time)
