July 5th, 2008 — about, weigh in
This week my normal weigh in day falls on July 4th. The doctor's office is closed and therefore I will be going 2 weeks without a weigh in...
For most of the week I was very good...
Thursday we went to Sonoma for the 4th weekend... Even in Sonoma I have been very good on the food front (with one exception), but the excellent wine has been a temptation I have been unable to resist... Also at last night's dinner, my child ordered a smore for desert (this was a 4 star restaurant)... She didn't like it, but I couldn't believe that it wasn't delicious... I had 2 small bites of the chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, gram cracker combination... Heavenly! So with my cheating out of the way...
I have gone swimming and to the gym while here, but as of this writing I haven't finished week 3 day 3 of the hundred push up challenge yet. I will be doing that (one day late) right after I finish blogging and having an egg white omelet with fresh vegetables...
I am not punishing myself for cheating, but acknolwedging that I did cheat will help me to avoid cheating today and for the rest of the week...
I hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July...

April 23rd, 2008 — Meals, healthy eating
I went out to lunch yesterday at my favorite Mexican restaurant with a friend: Sancho's Taqueria. This place has the most amazing fish tacos on the planet and many many people swear by the carnitas super burrito... They really are inspirational...
This day however, I ordered the Sancho's Cobb with the dressing on the side... Good thing I did because with my diet I am not supposed to eat fat or sugar... the dressing appeared to be a honey mustard... Instead, I used their excellent hot salsa with a touch of their green mild salsa. The salad was large and I did not finish it, but I am proud of myself for sticking to the diet in the face of the fish tacos... I added pollo asada to the salad and it made the perfect meal... Estimate 3 protein and 3 good carbs.
Why salsa? Well it might just be the perfect food (Lazy Man even made salsa his food of the week.) It is usually no fat, low calorie and packed with great vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, onions, and cilantro. And it tastes great! Better yet, since it is nothing more than vegetables (no fat / low calories) you can use as much as you need in order to make the dry salad edible. (I know many of you can eat a salad without dressing or with very little... I am not one of those people.)
So, the next time you are staring face to face with that diet busting burrito order a salad and use the salsa as the dressing. You get the Mexican food without the Mexican hips.
As for Sancho's Taqueria should you wish to find it (it was named top 20 taqerias in the Bay Area) here is a map... you will need it
