Day 5-8: Bad eating and no working out

I barely ate for a couple days. But when I finally did - smh - horrible.

And to top it off, I didn't work out once. Unless you count dancing and wading in a shallow wave pool for a couple hours.

Thursday: Playing in the lake Wednesday didn't help with this lingering cold. I woke up feeling worse. But oh so worth it! Just no appetite whatsoever today.
Breakfast: Protein Shake
Lunch: Half of 1 fresh veggie roll
Dinner: Few spoonfulls of veggie soup

Just no appetite today =/

Friday: Appetite is still barely there. Well.... for food at least.
Breakfast: Protein Shake
Lunch: Protein plate from Starbucks (Apples, grapes, brie, cheddar cheese, and some kind of fruit nut bread)

For dinner, I meet up with Mhadz (my old roommate from Beacon Hill days!) and we head to Purple Cafe in Bellevue.
I do a Flight of Pinot Noir and we share an order of:

Sauteed Prawns and Shoestring Frites and
Baked Brie w/apricot preserves, caramelized onions, candied walnuts, grapes and housemade crackers

For dinner I order my usual fave: Baked Lobster Mac and Cheese!!!

Of course, by the time it came out I was full from the appetizers. But I took at least 2 small bites.
Dinner was good. Catching up was good. We bump into a couple other friends at the restaurant, so we end up all hanging out and catching up. Of course, I finish my flight pinot by now. So I order a glass from my flight: Stonier Pinot Noir. Yum!
My glass was huge, which means the pour was quite generous =)
We didn't leave till some time after 1 AM.
It was nice catching up.
.......................................................................................................

Saturday: I woke up early to head to a 10AM funeral service up in Everett. =(
MT and I are there almost 2.5 hrs.
We head back to MT's house to pick up her hubby to come to the burial. While we wait for him to get ready, we have a few bites of assorted pastas we picked up at QFC and a couple glasses of wine.
The three of us head to the cemetary to witness the burial and extend our condolences one last time to the family.
Headed back to their house afterwards and we chit chat for a couple more hours...with yet again... more wine!

I finally get home around 6 PM - I think. It was such a long and emotionally draining day that I knock out on the couch for a couple hours.
I am supposed to head to Mpulse @ Tulalip Casino by 8:30/9 PM to meet up with Nance and MT, but I ended up falling asleep again =P
WHOOPS!

Finally left the house around 10 PM, It took an hour to get up north. Holy CRAP this place is deep! I knew it was up there but damn.... an hour?!

So obviously - I didn't have dinner. Last time I ate was in the afternoon right before the burial.
But what do I have at the club anyways on en empty stomach in a span of 2.5 hrs?
Three Grey Goose & Tonics!!!
Needless to say...I was on a good one. LoL

MinhTri - Me - Nanci
















On the way home, I stop by Jack in the Crack. Hello..... buzzed AND starving!!!
And oh what a lil piggy I was. On the drive home, I down curly fries and a 7 piece order of jalapeno poppers.
I get in at almost 3 AM. Too tired - and full by now - to eat my chicken burger.
......................................................................................................................

Sunday: I had every intention of sleeping in till noon, but get woken up early with a phone call. I don't fall right back to sleep - so what do I do? I eat my dang burger! hahaha
Damn.... see what happens when you A) don't have an appetite for days, and B) are hungover.

I finally get my lazy butt up around 1 pm to do some much needed cleaning. MUCH...NEEDED...CLEANING!

And it's a dang 90+ degrees. No A/C in the house. Sweating. Dying.

Head over to the Renton waterpark around 4 PM to meet up with Nance and her kids for a bday party.
What a perfect way to cool off for the next couple hours!
Snack? 2 Chicken taquito's and a sugary Hi-C pink lemonade.

I get home around 7 PM - change out of my wet clothes - and lounge.
And lounge.
And lounge.

Nothing to eat in the house so I head to Safeway to pick up something "healthy" to make for dinner. Never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach.

I do pick up some fruit, Fage, and some romain lettuce. I do pick up salmon.
But I also unfortunately grab a baguette, kalamata olives, smoked gouda, and 4 bottles of wine to add to my stash.
Snack before dinner: Some slices of Smoked Gouda, Kalamata Olives, and a "few" slices of the baguette with EVOO and Balsamic Vinegar.
Oh...and can't forget a glass of Chardonnay!
I'm full.



Dinner would have been: Salmon topped with basil pesto and capers, and a side salad w/a balsamic vinaigrette. I plate it, thinking I'll eat some anyways.


Nope. Full from my pre-dinner snack. But...I do have room for another glass of wine before calling it a night =)
