Family Reunion

I had lots of yummy food yesterday. My sister, Sarah, and her husband, Joosung, were in town for a visit. It’s the first time they’ve come for a visit since my father moved back. My dad made some delicious brisket and unfroze a cheesecake for the occasion. Fancy.

My family knows how much I love cheesecake (I could never get sick of it) so they gave me the first piece! If I had to eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be cheesecake. I’d get fat and die happy.

My dad took Daniel and Joosung golfing while us girls went shopping and drank some chai lattes. It’s our drink of choice at Starbucks. Order it with soy milk — you won’t be disappointed!

Then for dinner we all met up for some Mexican food at El Tapatio. I ordered the Fajita Taco Salad. It’s like a normal taco salad but with fajita veggies inside! There wasn’t as much lettuce as I was expecting but it was stilled pretty good! It was so big, I barely made a dent on it. But now I have left overs for today!

Now it’s time to look at how I did for the week.

Weekly Wrap-Up August 4th-10th

My average is over 100 calories higher than last week. I also didn’t actually commit to any working out except for Thursday. I forgot to mention it earlier but Daniel and I walked around the park that day. I’m not sure I really did better when it came to my goal of not letting social gatherings cause me to go over my calories significantly. Unless you count eating with my parents as a social gathering because the Popeye’s chicken did me in on wednesday. My goal for this next week is to dedicate more time to working out. I also would like to commit more time to stretching and improving my flexibility so I’m going to try to do yoga every morning and night. It’s time for less sitting and more doing!
