This weekend was great.  Too bad I have to go back to work tomorrow!! 

 

After our bike ride yesterday (15.5 miles), I got back and had a banana with peanut butter and then got a shower and we drove down to Ocean City to have lunch at the restaurant my little brother-in-law is serving at for the summer. 

 

 

 

At Micky Fin’s, I had a Pama-lemonade which was lemonade, raspberry vodka and grenadine.  Quite refreshing.  I ordered the Martha’s Vineyard salad with blackened tuna.  It was a normal salad with raisins, blue cheese and pine nuts.  I ate about 75% of the salad and almost none of the tuna.  Seeing we were enjoying sitting outside during the day, we decided to each get another cocktail.  I had a mojito.  Also very tasty!

 

 

 

 

We got back to the beach house and decided to go out on the boat for awhile.  Everyone else went wakeboarding but I could only go tubing due to the knee.  But tubing with us isn’t easy and relaxing.  It is drive as fast as possible, aim to get air and hope to survive.  We like extreme.  Needless to say, I am SORE today, especially my arms!

 

We got back to the house and my in laws had gone to the store and just had TONS of fresh produce.  Dinner was tossed salad, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions in a vinaigrette, salmon, steak, corn, red potatoes, watermelon and bread.  It was so good and fresh.  I had one little red potatoes, half an ear of (plain) corn, about 2 ounces each of steak and salmon, and some salad and tomatoes mixture.  We ended up sitting at the table for hours and I ate about 3 pieces of bread and a lot of watermelon of that time.  Also, there was quite a bit of wined consumed over those hours….I may have had 4 glasses of wine. 

 

We played some yahtzee and I had some peanut butter ice cream.  At least it was light.  When you mix peanut butter into ice cream, I cannot say no!

 

Also over the course of the weekend, I had more of each of these than I want to admit (probably 4 of the sugar babies and no idea about the worms.)

 

 

 

Today was similar to yesterday. Everyone else had French toast, hash browns, sausage and bacon. I got up and had oats, flax seed, cinnamon and blueberries.  I beat one egg white up and added it but when I cooked it they came out in clumps.  I will be ready to have my ‘real egg whites’ out of the carton I get home!  It still was missing something, so I mixed in about 2T of peanuts.  That didn’t really help at all.  Still missing something.  But I ate it and moved on.

 

Justin and I went for another 15.5 mile bike ride (his heart rate monitor said he burned 900 calories, so I probably burned about 600—must get my HRM fixed!!) It was tough with an INSANE headwind!  Glad to just finish it. 

 

Ad lunch when we got home.  I had some plain bag salad with blueberries on top, a piece of whole wheat bread, toasted with hummus on top and some cottage cheese with dried fruit.  After that we went to the pool and laid out for awhile.

 

When I got back I had an oreo.  I felt spoiled.

 

On the ride home, I had a chocolate brownie zbar:

 

 

Got home tonight and I wasn’t too hungry.  Anytime my schedule is thrown off or I don’t really have total control over what I eat, my stomach just doesn’t do well.  So tonight I had some tropical fruit with fage on top.  A bit of honey on top with some all-bran and flax seed.  I had a homemade whole wheat/fruit muffin that I keep in the freezer and a small glass of kefir. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a fun weekend.  I definitely think I probably overdid it on the sweets and alcohol this weekend.  I just haven’t figured out how to cut back on my wine drinking when my glass keeps getting filled before I have finished it.  And when I don’t have my normal food around, I tend to have cravings….for sweets, which is unlike me.

 

I went grocery shopping after getting home, and I must say, nothing I put into my cart had high fructose corn syrup, which made me feel proud!

 

Hopefully I can sleep after taking a 2 hour nap in the car ride home….and hopefully my stomach will be back to normal by morning.

 

Night.
