I am new to Winter commuting. it is cold and I have learned layers are important. My favorite things about commuting are the energy I get from riding early in the morning, the fun of trying to make it home before dark (like a race), and since about 1/3rd of my ride is through a park I get to enjoy the beauty of nature…

I was a spectator at this race and I remember this kid!! I cheered for him up that hill with the rail road ties!!! I love CX! (but not a racer) It is a goal to race one or two next year.

Field Roast is definately my favorite and Gardein (But I do not like their beef--a-likes) Also, on a road trip I will make sandwiches with LightLife Bologna, yum!

I too am a vegetarian, for about 1 year. I try and eat as few grains as possible to keep losing weight. I eat a lot of salads, stir-fry (no rice or noodles), and soups. My carbs are ususally fruit, yogurt, beans, luna or clif bars and sometimes I eat a sprouted grain tortilla. So far I have lost 18lbs, but it has taken a…

Today: 1 slice Toast w/ PB, a nectarine and a coconut water Usually: 6 oz plain greek yogurt, 1 Tbs Chia Seeds, 1 c. mixed berries, 1 Tbs Honey OR: 2 hard cooked eggs, 1/2 cottage cheese, 1 c. diced melon OR: 1 slice toast w/ smashed avocado, siracha and two scrambed eggs I tend to eat this breakfast around 9:30 and eat a…

Fantastic, I just started mountain biking and have my own goals, a racing goal is about a year away for me. Way to go there and hit the trail hard!!!!!

1. Luna Bars 2. Carrots 3. Garbanzo Beans 4. Baby Spinach 5. Tofu I want to list more than five...but if I could only have 5 foods, I would choose these.

Seitan is another good protein source. You can even make it at home. Just look up a recipe for Seitan on google.

Molly...I love your blogs!!! I am tottally going to attempt this or that tex mex quiche this weekend I tell you!!!! Keep up the good cooking and sharing!!

I like to eat while I am on a road trip so these are my suggestions: (these are the items that 4 of us took on an 11 hr trip I took last week, we did have left overs) I am assuming you will have a small cooler. Apples bananas Carrots hummus sunflower seeds (in the shells) Luna bars and cereal bars olive tapanade pita chips…

I soak my beans overnight, Then in the morning drain the liquid. Add to the beans and a diced onion in the crockpot, cover with water, so there is about 2 inches of water over the beans, cook for the day while at work. (I also have added carrot) The beans freeze well in baggies and then just run under tap water to defrost.…

Ever since reading Skinny B***tch I couldn't imagine why I, as an adult, was drinking the milk of another animal, ment for their babies. Since thinking about it that way I am too grossed out by cows milk. I like Rice Dream, almond milk and flavored soy milk is delicious.

I just returned from vacation and although I attempted to use MFP through cell coverage... It was a waste. My best advice: Move your body. If you can go for a walk, run, bike ride, pushups when you wake up, do-it. Don't go overboard on every meal. Enjoy yourself and come home ready to jump back! Welcome back the routine…

I completely understand what you are feeling. Because my brain just wants to eat I sometimes make an extra large snack plate for dinner. I fill a dinner plate with carefully measured snacks that when I sit down to eat will take a long time and fill me up. Example: 1/4 cup of hummus 2 carrots that have been cut into strips…

We have a foam roller and a long stick with big beads on it. (I can not remember what the term for this is, but it is similar to a rolling pin.) I LOVE THEM!!! they are my best friends...get one and use it. You will feel amazing.

Was this in Lexington, KY...?

I pretty much agree except I prefer the grocery store feel and salad bar so much at Whole Foods... maybe I just hate Trader Joes because it is always stupid busy and they dont have very much fresh foods... it seems to be composed of a bunch of premade fancy crap. I love whole foods because they have fresh produce and meat…

Giant Mixed greens salad with alfalfa sprouts and cherry tomatoes with a smashed avocado with lime, salt and pepper. Hungry girl snack plate dinner...hummus, celery, red pepper, carrots, cucumber, broccolli, cherry tomatoes, green olives, bread and butter pickles... I apologize for my stupid pictures sizes(maybe) I have…

Agree with this... fruits and veggies are the best!

I'm also a vegetarian and don't ever have problems with veggies...my two favorites that non-vegetarians also LOVE are: Spinach and black been enchiladas: one package of fresh spinach, one can of black beans, tortillas, green enchilada sauce, onion, red pepper, jalapeno, and pepper jack cheese. and Balsamic Roasted…

My day typically had 4-6 meals per day...diary is open, also feel free to friend me. Typical day: Breakfast at home at 7:30ish before 9 mile bike ride to work: Clif Bar or Luna Bar (If i get up early enough, egg wrap) (If i am really late I eat this at work at 9am eek) Snack at work 10amish: coffee and fruit and nuts,…

I am usually sore 36-48 hours after a hard workout. Today is Wednesday and I am sore everywhere from a Mountain Bike ride Monday!!! Hopefully it will end tomorrow:huh:

Just about every week I have "HOMEMADE VEGGIE SUSHI NIGHT" Last night I took pictures to share, because it is so good and fun!!! Tonight I made rolls with the following fillings: 1 red pepper, 1 avocado, 2 asparagus spears, 4 inches of cucumber, 1/4 c. alfalfa sprouts, 1/4 package extra firm tofu (stirfry left over), 1/4…

I don't really have any but am definately going to look for the ones you've reccommended. Especially the Cycling books, as I am just starting out I could really use some knowledge. Thanks.

I havent given up wine, or even considered it...I figured I needed to do something to allow it a place in my diet. I hate the idea of making myself exercise. Until i found one that I was happy to do. I commute to work about 20 miles per day and now ride on the weekends as well. Now, if I cant ride I want to do something…
