7-25 reflection: more walks on the beach, restaurant frustrations 5% Challenge day 10

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

Exercise:
- am strength workout
- 15 minutes walking at Tomoka State Park. Planned to spend more time there, but there wasn't much to do and the mosquitoes were horrible!
- 1 hour walk on the beach

Food:
Breakfast: ate my leftover omelet from Ihop with a bowl of strawberries, blueberries and 1/2 banana

Lunch: Burger King hamburger (no bun) with lettuce, tomato & pickle with 1/2 green pepper as the bun, small gala apple

Dinner: Aunt Catfish- Salmon was cooked wrong, so didn't eat it. Ate salad with sides from the buffet salad bar, 1/2 ear steamed corn on the cob, baked beans, dutch slaw, berry blend, pineapple, 2 cinnamon rolls, and tried fried alligator and shark.

I am o for 3 on restaurant meals this week! We have tried places that we wouldn't be able to frequent at home, and I have had issues each time. Tonight, we went to a restaurant that came highly recommended and included a 1.5hour wait. DH wanted flounder, but they said they were out due to seasonality. I asked for my salmon plain, but it came with lemon pepper in the steaming packet with the salmon and veggies. I really just didn't want it anymore after that! I did eat my corn, cinnamon roll and stuff from the salad and sides bar. Probably wouldn't have eaten much of the salmon tonight, anyway. She brought out a six pack of the cinnamon rolls to make up for it, and took it off the check.

We did try an appetizer of fried shark and fried alligator. I usually don't like anything fried, but these were both really good! Who knew I would enjoy eating these things?!

Looking forward to grilling chicken here at the resort tomorrow for lunch and running a 5k either on the beach or on the bridge across the inlet tomorrow evening!

    Kudos for trying the shark and alligator, even if they were fried! Trying new foods is fun but I'm still trying to convince my teenager of that! I love the vacation goals. I should try to set some before we head out at the end of August.

    I'm so sorry about your dining out experiences that is very frustrating especially when it isn't a place you can't visit again. You are doing great at staying active and meeting your goals, I love how you already have your vacation goals laid out, I wish you much success.
