Vista point at Arastradero Regional Preserve

No gym today, instead I went to for a “beginner” mountain bike ride thru Arastradero Regional Preserve. And let me say… 5 miles of mountain biking is a WHOLE lot harder than 15 miles thru Shoreline/Baylands. It was a lot of work and a lot fun. The weather was great, but a tad on the warm side. I didn’t bite it this past weekend, but came pretty close a few times. And haven’t quite mastered the going up steep hills part. I definitely want to do more mountain biking, but really need to get a few pointers on stuff.  Need to checkout when REI is doing their mountain biking class next.

Hobee's Chicken Apple Sausage scramble (no cheese)

Breakfast

Pre-workout apple
Hobee’s Chicken Apple Sausage scramble w/ tomato, onion, mushroom, NO cheese
Side of fruit
Lunch
Chiptole barbacoa salad w/ veggies, tomato salsa, and guac, no dressing
Dinner
Paleo “butter chicken” w/ broccoli
Snack
Paleo pancakes (Theo’s recipe)
Snack
Banana orange smoothie
I went shopping and finally got some almond meal to be able to make pancakes.. and of course I couldn’t wait until morning so I tried making some as a snack. They where ok, the batter was a bit thin so it made really thin pancakes which where hard to flip. Tried adding some blueberries to them, but didn’t work so well since the pancake was about 1/3 the height of the blueberries. Oh well.

Low Carbo Chicken Saute

Breakfast
Egg Scramble w/ chicken, avocado, and lots of veggies

Lunch

Paleo “butter chicken”
Cauliflower “rice”
Snack
Orange
Mini bell peppers w/ raw zucchini hummus
Sliced turkey
Few almonds

Dinner
Salad w/ olive oil and lemon juice
Low Carbo Chicken Saute w/ tomatoes, peppers, and onions in a light tomato sauce

So the sink in my apartment was having problems… it backed up and exploded, but that is another story. Needless to say, my tiny kitchen was full of dishes from cooking earlier in the week and I didn’t feel like adding more so I went out to eat. Ended up just going around the corner to a little Italian place and getting their low carb saute which was actually pretty good. Of course I had to turn down the bread basket and the free dessert.

Macadamia nut crusted talapia & roasted butternut squash

Breakfast

Omelet w/ bell peppers, onion, tomato, mushroom, and spinach
Side of fruit
Snack
Apple
Almond butter
Snack
Few alonds
Lunch
Spaghetti squash w/ meat sauce
Sauteed spinach w/ olive oil & garlic
Snack
Turkey slices
Carrots and mini bell peppers w/ raw zucchini hummus
Dinner
Small bowl of broccoli soup
Macadamia nut crusted talapia
Roasted butternut squash
Snack
Smoothie: banana, blueberry, coconut milk
The macadamia nut crusted talapia was really good, although it kinda turned into more of a paste than a chopped nuts after a few whirls in the food processor.  Added some thyme and ginger to it before coating the fish. And it actually filled me up, as I only hate have of the fish and squash.
