Well.. I'm feeling pretty non-spectacular! I was gone this past week for business, and surprisingly, it was actually pretty easy to eat well. The hardest part was avoiding caffeine.. (did I mention I was sitting in class eight hours a day?) but we were able to select whatever we wanted from the restaurant within the hotel for lunches, and they had a decent variety of healthy options. Then since dinner was being paid for by the bank, I felt like I could branch out and try different things and not worry about wasting my money. Get this: one of the nights we went to a wonderful little Italian joint called Zelo, and I didn't even have my usual unimaginative fettuccine. I had Alaskan halibut and bell pepper/mango quinoa with red curry-lime broth and Thai basil. Oh, and edamame with sea-salt to start. How grown up am I! I'm glad I tried it, too. It was one of the best meals I've ever tasted. If you can get to downtown Minneapolis, you must try it. It was amazing. Anyway, my point is that I found it remarkably easy to eat well while I was there, and we did a fair amount of walking around in the evening so I wasn't completely sedentary.
However.. I came home on Friday to a house devoid of healthy food. Combine that with having been served my food for a week, and I was not prepared to start cooking and cleaning like some kind of savage. So I made a frozen pizza. sighh.
The good news is that I maintained my weight. I still weigh exactly what I weighed when I left. The bad news is, of course, that I still weigh exactly what I weighed when I left.
This week I downloaded a bunch of new apps for my iPod (which I will review on the Blog page) that I think will help with this little endeavor. Check them out!
Until next week.
