peanut butter<\/a> has been my pre-bike ride power breakfast. No more. Marissa gave me a few healthier alternatives, such as yogurt with granola or quinoa porridge with fruit to bridge the gap until a mid-ride snack. Then some nuts or a Shot Blok can carry me through to lunch.<\/p>\nThe other goal was to continue to whittle down the bread. Last month I held to a maximum of two pieces per day.

And get in my cardio workouts. And do my "homework" exercises. Whew!<\/p>\n
I reached my vacation destination without any meal deviations. I made healthy food choices for breakfast, packed my own snacks for the flight, and hit the food store upon arrival.
