Who goes to Napa Valley (the wine and food capital of Cali) while they are trying to lose weight? Me :::hiding face in shame::: I had the best intentions in the world. Sadly, my good intentions weren’t enough. I tried to be prepared by bringing protein shakes and protein bars, but I should have bought veggies and fruit if I was really going to make this work. But at the same time, it was Napa, and I wanted to enjoy my trip. I struggled between these two thoughts the entire weekend. My cousins all got together on Saturday night and drank, but I was too scared to join in fearing that I would drink, then get really hungry and eat anything in sight… So I was a pooper.
Below is a log of what I ate over the weekend. I had some wine Friday-Sunday, but not enough to get too tipsy ;)
On Friday morning we left my parents house and began our 7 hour drive to Napa.
B- We stopped at a deli in Paso Robles. Everyone got really yummy looking sandwiches; I had a protein shake and a fruit cup.
L- For lunch I had a Jack in the Box salad.
D- Dinner wasn’t so healthy, birria, rice and beans, one tortilla.
Saturday
B- Protein shake
Went for a run and burned 550 calories
S- Protein bar- wine tasting- After finishing wine tasting I was starving. This is always bad news when you are about to walk into a Mexican family get together ;)
L/D- carne asada, chips and guac, cheese, zucchini, rice, almonds
I went to bed with a tummy ache this day.
Sunday
B- eggs, beans and rice (why did I keep having beans and rice?)
We went into St. Helena to rent some bikes, but they had run out. So we walked the city until I burned 550 calories.
D- The best dinner of my life! We went to Rutherford Grill and ate SO MUCH!!! Cornbread, artichoke dip, ahi tuna salad and topped it off with pastel de tres leches. Um yeah, I can’t even explain this. I have nothing to say for myself.
So here is the damage. Before the trip I weighed 157.4. This morning I weighed 158.8. I gained 1.4 pounds. This isn’t as bad as I thought, so I’ll take it. Plus, I started my period today, and that usually makes me gain a little weight.
I’ve started the Shakeology cleanse today and I’ll let you know how my first day went tomorrow morning.
Let me start by saying wow!! You have a lot of will power I would not of done half of the stuff you did with the protein shakes...girl you mean business! can we go to Rutherford Grill?!?! It sounds yummy!!! Actually all the bad food sounded too good! The 1.4 punds is a minor mis step...dont sweat it!! You can do it!!!
