Hello, vacation-style! I hope everyone is having a good week, the vacay has been nice and relaxing so far. I’m in a bit of a time crunch today so I’ll try to keep this recap pretty brief. Just fyi – I only have internet when I go to work with my mommy so I’ll be doing a recap every few days until I get back home.
Wednesday – travel day
Our flight was at 8:15am so we had to get up nice and early. We had to leave our car in long-term parking so we actually drove to the airport. Thankfully, Mapquestgot us there in time to get breakfast, of sorts. There were not many restaurants and those that were there didn’t have full menus. I ended up with a Wendy’s Maple Baked Frescuit with egg and cheese.
It actually tasted pretty good; I love the sweet-savory combo so cheese with maple syrup was nice. And when I looked up the nutritional information online this morning I learned that it only had 390calories.
Being at airports always makes me think about having kids (not that it isn’t on my mind anyways!). Adam and I have always discussed how important it is to make exercise fun for kids – the more you make movement into a game the better. Even now, when we come to a moving walkway one of us will ride and the other will walk alongside and we will race!
We had a straight flight, which meant we were at my house before 2pm! My mom always has a gift waiting for me on the bed.
I wanted to get right into reading but Adam needed to go to his old doctor to do some forms for medical school so off we went. I ate a baggie of baby carrots during the ride.
The husband took forever so my father and I ended up taking a long walk on the boat docks. I drank a Ting.
My parents cooked us a great dinner.
WW pasta with parmesan cheese,
spinach and tomatoes cooked in toasted sesame oil,
and broiled salmon.
I also ate a slice of dry sourdough toast.
They did a great job, everything was delicious. Also good was my snack.
Huge cup of coffee with skim milk,
and homemade chocolate chip cookies.
We played Pictionary and cards and by the time we were done I had actually eaten 4 cookies! My cookie control was down a bit because of booze 🙂
My favorite drink on earth is oj with cinnamon Stoli. They actually stopped making this Stoli, my mom and I have 2 of the last bottles available, but it is equally good with Goldschlager. We each had one, yum.
Thursday – “it’s so hot!”
In spite of not staying up all that late playing games (my dad is pretty intense about bedtime, he is my sleep role model) we could not get going Thursday morning. I was supposed to get up and work out but that did not happen. I woke up 3hours later than planned, ate breakfast, and went back to sleep for the rest of the day. The husband and I think it’s because it was so hot. At least I did have a great breakfast.
A small chopped nectarine, half a banana, and ground flax seed.
Plus a Low Fat Pineapple Chiobani.
This was the first time I ever saw this flavor and it was awesome, I hope this comes to NY!
After my intense napping session I managed to drag myself to the shower and get gussied. We ended up eating at the restaurant right near where we got married so Adam and I had to take some pictures! This spot is exactly where we said our wedding vows –
We had a fun time, it is hard to believe it’s been so long since December 28th, 2007. 1.5years, we are not even newlyweds anymore!
After some rememberings we headed to dinner, I slept through lunch so I was pretty starving. I started with a beyond fabulous passionfruit colada,
and my dad and I split a sandwich and salad for dinner.
Fire roasted chicken paninni sliced chicken breast, roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese, and a garlic and basil ailoi.
Key Lime Caesar Salad.
I ate half of everything. The sandwich was good but a little greasy and I loved the salad, the lime cut through the usual creaminess wonderfully.
After dinner we went home for more board games and cards – Monopoly and Gin Rummy – we are serious nerds about game night! I drank an iced coffee with skim milk, along with some desserts.
First, two homemade chocolate chip cookies,
and even better – Greek Gods Honey Greek Yogurt,
frozen,
oh yeah, this was so good! Freezing Greek Yogurt (I’ve only tried it with flavored but I imagine that plain would be a lot like Pinkberry) turns it into slushy, granita-like goodness, I highly recommend it.
Friday– wake up!
Today, I managed to get my butt out of bed! I went with my mom to an 8am spin class so we had to get up by 7. We left extra early because we dropped Adam off at the beach, with a bucket of beer! I ate this Luna Bar in the car for breakfast.
The class was 60minutes of spin and floor work. I don’t know if it was the sugary breakfast, that I was feeling sick yesterday, or that I’m out of shape, but my butt was kicked! I felt so sick I actually had to sick down and skip the lunges. I chugged some water and I’ve been sitting so I’m feeling a little better but it sucked at the time.
Now I’m hanging out at my mom’s library, hopefully headed towards some studying. The husband and I are getting lunch soon so we’ll see what happens. I will most likely be doing another post on Sunday, hope everyone has a great weekend!
For now, I will leave you with a list of the songs I played while I typed, found on my mom’s i-pod!!!
- Viva la Vida – Coldplay
- Single Ladies – Beyonce
- Boom Boom Pow – Black Eyed Peas
- Low – Flo Rida
- Blame It – Jamie Foxx
- That’s Not My Name – The Ting Tings
