After last week's sub-par workout performance (more like lack there of!) and the scale that doesn't seem to stop "growing," I decided to reflect on this weekend's meals:
Friday: Dinner w/ C-ler @ Sahara for some fantastic Middle Eastern food
What better way to catch up than savoring the *bestest shawarma ever* and eating like a true Ironman-in-training should be! Oh wait, that doesn't include me... Kudos to the roomie for introducing me to this fabulously addicting place!
Saturday: Catching up w/ the hub's college buddies @ Blue Tractor
In the midst of exchanging stories, I gracefully shoved my face with rib after rib. I just couldn't seem to get enough those recently. It was no Slows, but it definitely hit the spot! And sweet potato fries? Yes please!!
Sunday: Bi-weekly dinner @ the rents
My mom told me this was a "healthy" dinner, and true to her word, I would definitely describe her crust-free seafood quiche as an Atkins-friendly entree. But when you follow that with a rich, calorie-filled cupcake made of pureed chestnuts & whip cream, my absolute fav dessert better known as Mont Blanc, that *kinda* overides the "low carb" appeal. Pshhht, oh well...
Motivated by KT's 5-mile tempo performance last week, I too decided to take another stab at it today after work (I failed miserably at my first attempt last Thurs). Fortunately or unfortunately, I didn't realize my Garmin was set up to average the overall time instead of per quarter mile, so I pushed myself a little more than I thought I was. Finally, after a week of lackluster workouts, success!
ooh, you know I'd have to comment on the middle eastern feast plate. drool, slurp. it looks scrumptious. i'm green with envy. mom's seafood casserole looks pretty darn good too. did dad have strawberry shortcake for dessert? haha.
ReplyDeleteHaha, of course dad had the shortcake! And mom described the quiche as "yuko-friendly" aka I can just mix everything and toss into the oven.
