First, I'm dying to tell you what I'm thankful for today, which is you all, my peeps! This afternoon I signed up to walk in the 2012 Walk to End Alzheimer's Disease in memory of my grandmother (there's some awesome back story about her if you follow the link). Within 5 hours of e-mailing my coworkers and posting a facebook link, I was 110% to my original goal. Damn, you guys! You're awesome. So awesome, in fact, that I'm gonna bust out a really good Duchess of Cambridge picture.
Just as a reminder, if you want to donate to me or Chris (he's doing it because he wants a purple t-shirt and also because he loves me, I guess), we'll take a picture of something that reminds us of you and post it on your Facebook wall or e-mail it to you.
Okay, so let's discuss Tuesday was a disaster of epic proportions. Breakfast was bacon, M&Ms, and a wheat bagel with veggie cream cheese. This is what happens when you don't plan, Alyssa!
Lunch was better--I had spicy tuna sushi made with brown rice, and mixed fruit. But I also sampled ALL THE CHEESE at Whole Foods.
Exercising was a highlight. I remembered my workout pants and top, but forgot workout shoes, and cork high heeled wedges weren't gonna cut it. So I harassed all my coworkers until I found someone with a pair of flip flops in my size. I did 20 minutes on the bike, and 10 minutes of weights. Yay!
Then there was dinner. It was with a former coworker, which meant lots of boozing and eating bad things. Like bread with olive oil, MORE cheese, deep fried figs wrapped in bacon, potatoes with a salsa verde, and the only redeeming feature of the night--a crab meat salad. Then there was cake. Whatever, it was Jaleo, it's delicious, and I'd do it again.
I'm not too worried about this though, because I'm going on vacation with the founder of The Shame Squad, people! Yep, I'll be spending a long weekend with Kyle in Cape Cod, and we do lots of the walking and the biking and the healthy eating.
