freezing rain, eugh.  ice = indoors. I got rain pants yesterday for the first time, in order to commute in the rain. This was after experimenting with biking in jeans to the gym and getting soaked. payback period for the rain pants:  palo alto parking tickets.

Well I rode in Marin on Sunday, today I was more inland. It was rain/hail.

I used to ride regularly through Palo Alto, when I worked in Santa Clara. It always annoyed me when people were parking in the bike lane at times when they were not suppose to.

gterv you posted twice in this thread and both times your deficit was more then 1k calories! Is that your normal deficit, or just these two times? If it's your normal deficit, then you really need to eat more!

Actually yes.... but before I get scolded, I have tried to eat more and lose and it does not happen, so I cycle my calories In the weekend I eat one day around 2200-2500 cals and the rest of my days are around 1400-1800 cals. I'm very careful to eat before, during and after exercise, and I'm very careful to eat enough protein 1.5-2g per kilo.

I have about 10lbs to go, so I will be uping my calories gradually. any thoughts?

Today

B- 1egg+2 egg whites omelette with smoked turkey breast, 2 slices of whole wheat bread and 100gr cottage cheese, 150gr melon.

Snack- slim fast meal bar 220cals

Lunch- 150gr tuna, salad, huitlacoche (corn fungus!) 2 corn tortillas, carrot soup, 50gr white cheese, merenge dessert (only 60cals)

Dinner- 4 slices of turkey bacon, 100gr grapes, 1/2 cup soy vanilla milk

Exercise- 7.5 miles run.

Intake 1746    (deficit 1000)

umney, I live in menlo so I do the loop and the nearby hills. I haven't ridden in Marin yet but will go up someday.

yesterday was an odd food day. I took the train to the city for a xmas party. Dinner was apple crumble at the party, and panera chicken soup while waiting for the train back. It was a so-called rest day with 8 miles of bike transportation, some of which was unplanned HIIT in an attempt to make the 8:30 Caltrain. Total was 2600 calories, including a clif bar at 3am when I woke up hungry. Odd.

today:

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 tsp oo, steamed cauliflower, black coffee
Snack: soy nuts, small persimmon
Lunch: turkey sandwich, organic blueberries
Snack: 1 ideal chocolate chip cookie, Fraiche
Dinner: chicken soup with rice, mushroom strudel, raspberries

Exercise:

New Rules of Lifting for Women, workout B2, with bonus bodyweight matrix
The usual bike commute

Net: 100 cal deficit -> balance, depending on accuracy of estimates

I'm having a hard time keeping a deficit this week. I get really hungry. I don't think luna bars are food but maybe I'll get some more anyway for afternoon snacks, they are 1/4 step better than a cookie.

LittleMalynda; Don't worry~ that was about 2200 calories (:
