Friday in San Mateo

diet, travel / 2 Comments

Cali is fun, though not the uberhealthy place I imagined. I suppose that’s mostly my and my friends’ fault for the places we chose to ate, but yesterday morning we went to the local greasy spoon for breakfast. I ordered an egg white, turkey, spinach, and mushroom omelette, and swapped the toast for an English muffin… but the English muffin came out pre-buttered (I ate it anyway… bad Laura), the omelette was HUGE (though I’m proud to say I only ate half – I’m getting better about leaving food on my plate!), and it came with a mountainous pile of …

I was trying to think of a San Francisco song lyric to put here but all I can think of is the Rice a Roni song

running, travel / 11 Comments

Off to San Francisco for the weekend! I’m staying with my old high school friend Mike and we’re doing the Bay to Breakers 12K on Sunday, which should be a lot of fun. Chris says there are lots of hills in San Francisco, and has been training on hills a lot for the race. Me? Well, Central Park has a few small hills, but I’ve been doing most of my running on the West Side Highway now which is flat, flat, flat. It might be a bit of a rude awakening, but I hear that the Vermont City Marathon gets …

Not the usual Monday morning

As we were waiting in line for takeoff, a woman on my flight had a stroke. We headed back to the gate and emergency people came on board to take her away. So scary!

What an asshole.

Oops to the menu

So, all my planning was for naught. We went with the thirteen course chef’s degustation, which also came up with thirteen glasses of wine (eek). I had no choices for my food, and I was hungry, so I ate it anyway. Back on track for diet tomorrow, I swear. And up at 5 to work out!

Diet advice needed

diet, travel / 5 Comments

This is the menu for dinner tonight. There is nothing even remotely healthy on there. They say that you can substitute things, so I’m going to hope they really mean that. Their full menu is here, which is where I’m looking for substitutions for the four courses. My current thoughts: 1st course: salad with dressing on the side 2nd course: oysters, scallops, or cassoulet. I think those are in approximate order of healthiest to least healthy, but they’re also in approximate order of how much I’d enjoy them. The question is – how much healthier are the oysters than the …
