Eat 12/30/2008

I think I am back in business! I felt a lot better today 🙂 After my 7 mile run this morning with about a 3/4mile walk to cool down I made oatmeal with oats, nf milk, naner, brown sugar and PB. It was super creamy and delicious.The BF and I went to the Salvador Dali museumin Saint Petersburg. I had seen some of Dali’s work in the past, but didn’t really come to appreciate it until today. I really like his paintings and sketches on mythology.It is about a 1.5 hour or so drive to Saint Petersburg from the BF’s home so we ate lunch on the way – turkey sammie and I also stole a couple of bites of the leftover pizza he had for lunch. On the drive home we had some cherries.Dinner – I love the BF’s mom’s coleslaw and potato salad – I know both of these things are not healthy, but they taste so good. Actually, even writing that I realize that eating something just because it tastes good seems gluttonous and I should scale back on my portions while I am here.

I also had some spaghetti (just plain noodles and sauce for me since everyone else had meat sauce), salad and a piece of bread. I don’t know why, but this was such a satisfying meal. I loved it, but I love carbs and I love veggies (especially when they are covered in a fattening dressing) so it makes sense.Dessert was a toffee cookie and a handful of Chex mix.

While watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (it’s a classic people) the BF and I made egg nog smoothies consisting of egg nog and ice, a simple yet perfect combo 😉

Tomorrow is another wonderful day in the Sunshine State. I’m not sure what we have planned for the New Year’s countdown, but I’m planning on making  Hurricanes – isn’t that perfect for Florida?
