Last week I left town for four days to spend time with an old friend in Ohio. Although I packed everything I'd need to be scrupulously on program, when I got there I just didn't feel like it. So I didn't write anything down.
Despite that, I know that two meals a day were pretty spartan, but the third tended to be a serious meal (complete with wine and/or Martinis). And I wasn't exercising much.
Now, on the third full day after my return, I've finally gotten back on my bicycle and done a leisurely 17 miles. I'm not journaling my food again yet, but I'm keeping an eye on portions and measuring at least my starches.
Today's cheap dinner is going to be fava beans. I bought a pound of them dried for $.99 and went through the bother of boiling and peeling them last night. Tonight I'll cook them up with onions, olive oil and fresh herbs as recommended on the package label. I don't feel like putting in a salty chicken buillion cube as the recipe suggests, so I'll put in ... some chicken. Imagine that. I have a a huge head of broccoli to steam, too.
