Leaving San Francisco Monday …

I went for a run down by the water first thing in the morning. I was out for about an hour. There were a lot of other runners out and it was so nice to be running in a new place where I felt safe and not a weirdo for running.

Breakfast was cereal with Kashi Trail Mix and milk. I also had some cherries and a piece of bagel with whipped cream cheese.
We walked around Fisherman’s Wharf for a while before driving home. Boudin’s Bakery makes sourdough bread in a bunch of crazy shapes. Here is a girl making a lobster.

They also have an alligator and turtles. So cool. I will eat you alligator!

We had an early lunch because I wanted another bread bowl before we left. It was only about 11am. Here is the bread bowl and a crab sandwich. We shared them.

To put it in context, there are a bunch of outside counters where you can order seafood and delicious sourdough bread bowls. We ate right at the counter.

I love carbs! Look at me with my carb feast and shirt to match. We stopped to do a wine tasting in Paso Robles on our way home at our favorite winery – Rotta. I ate this stuff randomly in the car.

Kashi Trail Mix –

I made some crackers with veggie meat and laughing cow cheese.

This is an example of the amazing views on the drive. We live in paradise.

It was so beautiful we had to pull over to enjoy 🙂

I ate some cherries too. I don’t know when.

and some chocolates we got from Ghiradelli. We stopped in Solvang for a pee brake on the way home. By pee brake I also mean snack break.

Solvang is a cute little Dutch town. There are a ton of windmills and decor that makes you feel like you are not in California.

We stopped at Olsen’s Bakery for some treats.

Our loot (from left)- an almond log, a German tea cake and a huge macaroon.

Dinner Monday –

Dinner was Taco Bell. I ordered the Zesty Chicken Border Bowl and pintos and cheese “Fresco Style”. Fresco Style means it will come without cheese or sauces and with tomatoes and lettuce.

The bowl still came with cheese! Boo.

I really hate when I make a special order and they get it wrong. I had such a great trip and was in such a great mood I just shrugged and ate it. I put some of the pintos on it to make it more bean-y. I love beans. I’m Mexican what do you expect? I also had about half a Mexican Pizza because I am determined to sabotage my weight loss goals!
