peace + love + cupcakes
This morning - Huevos Divorciados (Two lightly fried corn tortillas, two fried eggs and red & green salsas with crema and queso fresco. Served with beans and chorizo)
This afternoon - Original tart & pie apple swirl froyo with yogurt chips, mango, passion fruit balls & birthday cake.
Planned for tomorrow morning - juice & coffee. I saw that Angie got this coffee & I wanted to try it.
Today has been a chill day. I was looking at my calendar & I realized June will be here before I know it. I have 3 races next month & I’m so unprepared. I’m making the gym a priority tomorrow.
Let’s hope for the best.
Around the world Sonoma style:
• Started the day with a reserve tasting at a Mexican winery - Robledo Family Winery. My people make some fantastic vino.
• Stopped by to visit a friend at Cline Cellars where I found my favorite type of cashmere.
• Sweet potato tater tots with truffle oil, garlic & Parmesan cheese and their smoked tri-tip sandwich. Whoomp, there it is! Schelville Grill in Sonoma lived up to the hype. Also had a bite of the blood orange cheesecake that was brought out for the birthday girl. Oh my nom!
• Ended up at Peter Cellars where the owner had the best English accent and the location of their tasting room is a hidden treasure.
Life is good.
GPOY: To quote James Brown… I feel good.
Spending the day with friends wine tasting & making memories. Celebrating a birthday for one of them & for dinner we are having a potluck. I prepared a kale salad which I made quite often last summer.
I’m the DD (by choice) so I hope I won’t be too tempted by the vino & food. For any of you that are fans of Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives we are going to one of the restaurants he featured on his show in Wine Country. Some of the dishes featured were Hot Matty’s Smoked Tri-Tip Sandy, Porchetta, and Memphis Style Pulled Pork.
Happy weekend everyone!
Currently on repeat. TGIF!
Here ya go tumblr friends and fellow weight loss journeyers! Not sure about my weight in either pic but the one on the right was from 2009 I think probably when I weighed around 420… The pic on the left is from Tuesday (last time I weighed I was still at 305.) I am gonna weigh in next week and see where I am at!
Most of you know I have been plateaued for awhile but I have been eating like a champ so I am hoping to see a break in next weeks weigh in!
Looking for inspiration? Here ya go!
One of the great things about tracking (when I actually do it) is that I can see & recognize any behaviors or triggers that may lead me away from my long term goal of being fit & healthy.
I seem to do really good on Monday through Wednesday morning. Wednesday night I become a snack monster and I try to get back in control on Thursday only to fuck it up on Friday which bleeds into the weekend. Then I start all over again in this pointless cycle.
I think I’ve found the culprits. Wednesday it’s pizza day at work & on Friday mornings we get donuts. Yesterday I had a healthy breakfast & snack and then two slices of pizza. They filled me up but didn’t really satisfy me. Then the snack monster was happily out & about.
The point of this post is to say that I won’t be having pizza or a donut at work anymore. The only thing these heavy carb & sugar foods do to my body is make it crave more carbs and sugars.
