Friday – Vacation Time!

Friday is normally a rest day for me, but I went for a long run since I would miss a quality weekend run while I was out of town. The weather was cold and windy – what is up with that? I am not used to that in So Cal, so I wanted to stop about half way through since it was starting to sprinkle. But, I powered through it and it didn’t start raining at all! Yeah! I did about 11 miles.

Friday Breakfast –
Post run I had a Thomas’ WW mini square bagel with egg beaters and sharp cheddar. I ate it open face and had the other half with whipped cream cheese.

While I was packing up I had the rest of this Advantage bar. These are really good, they taste like candy bars and are full of protein and fiber for only about 150 calories. I know they are full of processed stuff though, the only downside. I had ate a couple bites of this the other day, so it wasn’t a full bar.Friday Lunch –
I packed a lunch to eat on the road since we were leaving around 1pm. I had a PB&J on sprouted barley bread. and some cherries.

I bought these at TJ’s because I have been craving cookies. These are flour less chocolate walnut cookies. They are very fudge-y and rich.Friday Dinner –

The restaurant is just outside of the little Dutch town Solvang. It is very cute and has a store and a lot of memorabilia all over the walls. They also have a little bakery section for after dinner treats (more to come on that).

Friday Dinner –

For dinner I had soup and salad. I couldn’t come here and not get the soup. It was good! It came with some kind of cheese bread and rye bread. The bread was not good, but I was hungry so I ate it. I even put butter on it. Boo! But, I did run 11 miles and my body was hungry.

The soup was good, I could have ate another bowl. They actually have an All You Can Eat option for the soup, but I didn’t order that.

I also had a salad with ranch on the side. Why is restaurant ranch so good?!

We stopped at the bakery on the way out and got an almond horn and a massively huge chocolate chip cookie to share.
