1/19/09 - Monday

1/19/09 Monday

*slept in! sat by the pool (finally) and got a reasonable amount of sun – wow that felt so refreshing. Drove down to the Santa Monica Pier, ate lunch on the pier, watched the sunset (damn I forgot my camera), rode the famed ferris wheel, food shoppingat Ralph’s ( so unfair that it is way more expensive to eat healthy than not), gym, jaccuzzi, prepared lunches for work and baked chicken and potatoes for the week (easy, quick meals for when I get home from my long draining days at work).

Fiber bar

Tortilla chips and salsa

Seared ahi tuna with fruit salsa and mixed vegetables

½ hamburger bun

4 of P.T.’s fries

Blended ice pomegranate/blueberry/green tea from the coffee bean

Slice of monetary jack cheese in a whole wheat tortilla

What I did well: asked for my entrée without the rice (substituted for extra vegetables. Opted for the blended ice tea instead of ice cream. Went to the gym, even after a long day of being out and about!

Healthier decisions I could have made: just couldn’t resist those dang carbs! Omitting the rice was a strong move, but led to me eating some of P.T.’s hamburger bun and some fries (which he omitted for having some sort of sauce on it – for those who don’t know, P.T. doesn’t do condiments and has a strong aversion to anything containing vinegar. If you have the chance, ask him about the time we washed the new tile kitchen floor with vinegar for extra shine). The rice would have been a healthier choice, and would have satisfied that carb craving

Activity: 20 minutes on the elliptical, 15 minutes of arms on the weight machines.
