Breakfast was at Ruby's Diner, where the food was good and the service was glacial. I had poached eggs on wheat toast with tomatoes, avocado, and fruit. I also got the holandaise sauce on the side and applied it sparingly.
This is in stark contrast to Brent, who had diabetes for breakfast.
Then it was off to Disneyland! Chris invented a game where we were supposed to do a shot for each little girl we saw dressed as Anna or Elsa, but alas, we would have ended up with alcohol poisoning, so we had to let it go. (LET IT GOOOOOO, CAN'T HOLD ME BACK ANYMOOOOORE!)
Ahem.
Lunch was at the French Market, where I had chicken, vegetables, mashed potatoes, and water. I think I only kind of picked at the roll.
Snack was chips & salsa and a soda because of time changes.
Then there was the traditional trying on of the tiaras. I was happy to see a new tiara, reminiscent of The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland, worn by queen Liz. Anyway, everyone was very happy to participate in this traditional sartorial occasion.
Dinner was at Reunion, which was very good. Don't worry, I only ate half of this because I was falling asleep. It's short ribs with mashed potatoes and vegetables. (Apparently I was in the mood for mashed potatoes and vegetables?) I also had a salad and beer.
For exercise, we walked 10+ miles. We'll give it an Anna.
Friday started at 4 a.m. when we got up so Brooke and I could be in our corral for the Star Wars 5k at 5:30. We went dressed as ewoks, naturally. The costumes from other people were great--there were a few Darth Vaders, lots of mini and adult Princess Leias, and even a guy dressed as Jabba the Hutt.
The race was fun, because we ran (or tried to run, there were lots of people) through Disneyland, California Adventure, and Downtown Disney. Chris was on the sidelines in Downtown Disney to cheer us on, and we even got a shout out from fake Mace Windu who was commentating near the finish line. Special thanks to my awesome husband who got up at 4 a.m. with me, walked in the cold to the start line, and stood in the cold to cheer for me. :)
Our pace wasn't anything special--almost 15 minute miles, but we stopped to take pictures, and go on the "bathroom ride" and leisurely drink water at the water stops. Even so, with over 20 miles of walking in 2 days, my quads are killing me.
I had breakfast at the hotel, which was eggs, Cheerios with skim milk, sausage, and a mini croissant, because dammit, I just ran a race.
On to California Adventure, this time without running! Snack was berries plus veggies with dip.
Lunch was a glass of wine, a salad, and a big old bowl of shrimp linguine. It was delicious and I'd do it again.
Second snack (did I mention the 10 miles of walking?) was half a Mickey pretzel with mustard and cheese, and a beer. Brace yourselves--there's gonna be an alcohol theme to today.
Dinner was with Yuki, Russ, and The Kids (who are not kids anymore--since when can Alex order rum & Cokes?!). They very nicely treated us to a meal, which was a grilled chicken salad, and four vodka & cranberries. All of the sudden all of my muscles felt GREAT! Now I feel dehydrated!
We'll give the day an Amidala. Hold me like you did on Naboo!
