When I'm on vacation, I can never keep track of the days! I've been walking around all day today thinking that it was Tuesday... only to be pleasantly surprised to find out that it was only Monday!
Another beautiful day at the beach! Well, 1/2 day, anyway. It's a little cloudy this afternoon and is forecasted to rain but I'm not complaining about a relaxing afternoon in the condo :)
So far, the general eating pattern for this weekend has been conservative and healthy throughout the day and, well, less so in the evening. We eat breakfast and lunch in the condo and go out to yummy dinners in the evening. Last night was no exception... we went to a place called 'Aunt Catfish's' and I ate... a lot. Brief re-cap: salad (mixed greens and veggies w/ balsamic vinaigrette), garlic-sauteed scallops, a wee bit of rice, a hush puppy and a sangria... oh and the small cinnamon roll that comes with every plate :/
It was yummy but I'll be honest, I paid for it. My stomach felt less than great last night and I had an equally unpleasant morning. You would think that since I KNOW how my body is going to feel with all of these bad foods, I would stay away? Think again. My taste buds tend to over-power my rational thought... Of course, there are always far worse choices that I could have made... but still.
Food Today:
Breakfast:
Mocha protein shake w/ unsweetend almond milk
Snack:
1/4c organic trail mix
Lunch:
Cucumber Roll
2 crab rangoons (terrible, I know)
Snack:
chiptole tortilla chips w/ organic guacamole
Dinner:
We're ordering pizza from this little place down the road... their menu shows whole wheat pizzas and low-fat/no cheese options! I'm excited :)
I can fairly say that since being down here, I'm not eating as many fruits and veggies as I do at home. Although I tend to not eat very much in the fruit category at home anyway, my veggie consumption has gone way down and is being replaced by seafood and snacks. Not okay, really. Now that I'm fully aware of this fact, I plan on working to change it for the remainder of my vacation.
This morning, mom and I went for a run/walk on the beach! We did 60 second jog/walk intervals for 30 minutes in one direction and then walked our way home (about 2 1/2 miles). Certainly worked up a good sweat! OH and yesterday I had a little extra time so I went down to our little workout area and jogged a mile on the treadmill (11 minutes). I remember not so long ago when the thought of running a mile without stopping seemed like an impossible task... I'm not going to go as far as saying that I can do it 'easily' at this point, but I can do it without dying... so that's an improvement. lol
Mom and I plan to contine to do the jog/walk intervals every morning and may throw in some yoga/belly dance when we get the opportunity. We didn't dance last night as we ran out of time between my workout, dinner and True Blood (which is of infinite importance, of course!!).
Well, I should go and see what my silly (and tan) little girl is up to! I hope you're enjoying some nice weather wherever you are! Until tomorrow....
