Food
Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs, 5 strawberries, and 3 oz deli-style turkey
Lunch: Summer Chicken Salad from Zuppas--no dressing. Instead I used my Absolutely Fabulous Greek Dressing
Dinner: 4 macadamia nuts and 6 oz pork carnitas (it was more than I usually eat, but I was really hungry after a long day of shopping)
Water
2 liters
Workout
Tabata snatches with a 25 lb kettlebell
Rest 60 seconds
Tabata kettlebell swings with a 30 lb kettlebell
Rest 60 seconds
Tabata snatches with a 25 lb kettlebell
*Remember, tabata means 20 seconds of doing the movement, followed by 10 seconds rest, for 8 rounds
*On the tabata snatches, alternate arms for each round. Left arm for the first 20 seconds, right arm for the next 20 seconds, etc.
I share with my birthday with my Aunt Kris, and we decided to celebrate together by going out to lunch together. Conscious of my restricted diet, I chose Zuppas because at least they have salads, right? I chose the Summer Chicken Salad. It was made with mixed greens, sliced strawberries, dried craisins, grapes, sliced chicken breast, and chopped cashews. The thing that worried me was of course the most delicious-sounding part of the salad--the strawberry vinaigrette. I asked the first server what was in the dressing, and he had no idea. As he was floundering on how to answer my question, the second server piped in. "It's full of sugar." And that was that--no dressing for me. Luckily, I brought my Absolutely Fabulous Greek Dressing as a back-up.
The lunch was fine, but to be honest I could have made a better one at home. It really wasn't worth the $7 we paid for it.
Moral of the Story: Eating out is fun, but it's definitely not necessary, and half the time it's not even worth it. You are a better cook than you think you are, and you can always make your meal to your own personal tastes, which is sometimes more than a restaurant would be willing to do.
