Eating oatmeal with dried fruit, nuts, and brown sugar, plus some fresh fruit salad.  *Drool*  I must have been running a little low on protein because the nut bites are toe curlingly good.

Generally I don't care for nuts in my oatmeal, but that did sound delicious.  Must have been the *drool* that did it.

That's funny because I usually dislike oatmeal but she made it sound good to me too.

You gals were right to think my oatmeal sounded good.  It was awesome.

Making my chicken wraps tonight after a week of wanting them. I am so pumped!

[Ali]

What do you put on your wraps?  I've been breaking down and eating meat more lately.  So uh, tell me about this chicken thing.   

As for me, this doesn't qualify as healthy food, but I just read about mini grilled cheese and guacamole sandwiches.  I want them.  I want them now.

[Buddy]

I put in some grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, bacon, sharp cheddar and a little bit of honey mustard. It is really good both hot and cold.

I went for an hour and a half walk with wee man this afternoon. Pulling a 30 pound kiddo around in a wagon is a great way to work out your arms and shoulders.

My workouts come from walking and running with my one year old dog. He works my Butt off. About four times a day he wants to play ball or go running, if I am up to it play Frisbee.  I get him out at 6:00 in the morning, and home at lunch to give him a break than twice when I get home in the evening. I do about two to three miles with him. He would like it to 5 to 10 LOL.  It no wonder people with pets live longer.

How goes the vegetarian diet and any tips?

Yes, Asmo has a tip: Take the veggies and replace them with meat products. Deep fry for maximum levels of cancerogens and... Enjoy!

According to my Heart-rate monitor I clocked over 6000Kcals on my 8-hour Saturday ride - I certainly ate that many over the day.

Back to the road bike for July though. I'm sooooo over mud!

That's awesome!  Sometimes when I'm exercising I give myself incentive to keep going by thinking inane things like "Just think, you could eat an extra half of a Qdoba burrito with all the cals you're burning."  Not that anyone has ever been able more than 1 Qdoba burrito anyway, but for some reason that has become my standard unit of measurement in calorie burning.  To illustrate: "Great Job Scissorlegs!  You could eat an extra 6 Qdoba burritos with all of those calories you burned!"

I like it! ...or maybe 14 sticks of Italian hard liquorice. Now THERE'S incentive, don't you think, Ali?!
