Will had to run some errands downtown for the estate and instead of trying to hassle with parking I just dropped him off and drove around. While driving I found an interesting place to stop and take some pictures and walk around for a little bit. It was very peaceful and quite.
We also decided to have one cheat night and had dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. I figured this would be a good place to get something kind of healthy. I got a small filet steak, salad with raspberry vinaigrette (on the side), and broccoli. We didn’t get any appetizers or desserts and I only had one piece of bread.
…But…
I still managed to feel gross afterwards. Bloated and greasy. Yuck. Not the greatest idea.

This is what happens when you have to go out of town, but don’t want to break your healthy eating routine. This actually made me very happy.
Also, this should be the last weekend we have to travel to Charleston for “business”. We’re taking the last of Benny’s stuff home Saturday and will not have to go back into that apartment. Yay! Next time we go to Charleston it will be for fun and on our own schedule.

Lunch is served!
Avocado & Greek Yogurt Tuna Salad wrap w/ lettuce and feta cheese, side of grapes
I was amazed with how yummy this turned out. Sure, it doesn’t taste like mayonnaise…but it’s still good!
I also decided to start a plank challenge today. Every day starting today, I’m going to work on the plank in hopes of improving and getting stronger over time. It starts by holding the plank position for 10 seconds and increases little by little. Here I go building muscles and getting lean!

One thing I love about cooking with fresh fruits and veggies is how colorful everything is. It’s hard to stop taking pictures so I can actually cook the stuff.

Spent a little time outside in the cold taking photos of flowers. Didn’t stay too long though…cause it was cold! :)

Today was awesome. My favorite poet, Anis Mojgani, hosted an Open Studio at Serenbe. He had been nominated to attend a month long artist residency at Serenbe and today he opened up his studio to folks to come check out what he’s been working on. It was a like a little sneak peak into his creative mind. Simply. Amazing. We talked with him for a little bit and purchased another copy of his new book. He was kind enough to sign it and take a picture with me. :)
What an amazing experience. He is so down to earth, yet magical and inspiring. He also mentioned that he was hoping to do a reading towards the end of February…which I will do whatever I can to make sure we attend!

Uh oh…what have I done?
About once a year I finally get to the salon and get my hair trimmed and colored. This time I decided to get a lot chopped off. I hadn’t been taking care of my hair like I should, especially since it was so long. I guess now it should be a lot easier to manage! ;)

Today was my first day back at the gym after a long time away. Life (excuses) have gotten in the way but I’m back and recommitting myself to getting healthier. I met with my amazing and wonderful trainer and we reestablished my baseline as well as talked about my nutrition and fitness routines. Eating healthy is the easy part for me. I actually love most “healthy” food and I enjoy cooking.
But exercising…I dread. We even have a treadmill at home…but do I use it? Let me go ahead and answer that one for you. No. Do I know that I should? Yes. Does that seem to matter? Unfortunately not. So my new goal is to try and focus more on the exercise aspect. Start slow and build up. Fingers crossed!
Oh, and I made this amazing dish for dinner tonight. No recipe. Just picked up some delicious looking veggies from Aldi, sauteed them up in the wok I also purchased from Aldi, added some chicken and feta and enjoyed the crap out of it! Mmmm…(drool)
