Week 6 (pick up stix)

This week was not the greatest week of all as far as weight training and exercise goes; however, it was a mouth orgasm of farm-fresh, organic and local eats in San Francisco.

I had a business trip from Wed-Fri and thus weighed myself on Wednesday instead of my usual Thursday. I gained .6 of a lb. Nothing to scoff at but it was a little kick to my morale. Although, I did manage to sneak in a run and a dvd workout whilst I ventured the West Coast again, I know I was bad overall on portion and control of what I ate. As event planning goes, tastings are required and so are the multiple courses for days at a time. Very tough stuff-especially when the food is delectable. I tried to walk as much as I could, but In-and-Out would fight and win that battle as would clam chowder bowls and things that are only accessible in my home state. To make progress even farther reaching, time change and jet lag did not permit work-outs this weekend and I feel like mush all over. For the last couple of weeks there has been one day a week (on top of my off day) that ‘something’ comes up and I don’t work out. I cannot make this a habit.

5 Guys has nothing on In-N-Out

Having come back from a foodie mini-nation, I felt inspired to make some delicious, low cal foods. On Sunday, I made an arugula salad with balsamic vinagarette, filet mignon (healthier red meat choice), white asparagus (Spargel as I know it to be)  and petite boiled red potatoes. Amazing. Then for the sweet tooth in us all, I made homemade, berry filled crepes with light vanilla custard filling. Mouth-watering is definitely the correct verbiage when now thinking of the treat.

Next week, I will venture to The Big Easy (New Orleans Saints Nation-i.e. my fan-version of Mecca) for business again and am hoping to get in more work out time than I did in San Francisco. I don’t want to let what happened in San Fran happen again so I am going to do my best to blog each day that I am out there for accountability sake. Wish me luck and I’ll touch base here soon enough!
