And A Grumpy New Year…

Oh dear.

2010 is not off to a very good start 🙁

Who was that monster from last night and what did she do with KERF!?

this !

I woke up around 8, edited the blog (!!), and drifted in and out of snoozes until we met for breakfast at 9:30. I wasn’t sure if breakfast would make me feel better or worse, but I was sure craving fruit. [I would have killed for a Chocolate Amazing Meal green monster.]

I piled about a cup of greek yogurt with fresh fruit from the buffet along with some granola.

Sipped on some coffee and then rejected it in exchange for OJ

IMG_2858 (640x427)

I rarely drink OJ (because I’d rather just eat an orange) but boy was this delicious.

After breakfast Justin proclaimed he wanted to go on a walk to get his blood flowing. I was imagining an hour-long adventure but turns out he only wanted it to be "7-12 minutes." LOL. We walked for about 25 minutes or so to the harbor and back. I feel much better! Exercise is always the best medicine.

Thankfully we have no agenda for the day so there is a movie planned, a simple sandwich lunch, hopefully a run with Katie (a blog reader who is also on the island) if I’m feeling better enough, and dinner tonight at the Club. Tomorrow we head back home!

I think one overlooked benefit to vacations is that they make you appreciate your normal life so much more. I can’t wait to get back to my house and routine after this 9-day trip.

    I guess a good benefit of not feeling awesome is you’re craving fruit…right? 🙂 Hope you feel better, and have a great rest of the day on the island! It’s so nice to take a break from life, but sometimes it feels just as good to get back to routine, too 🙂

    Orange juice always sounds good to me when I’m feeling “less than stellar,” aka hungover as hell.

    Hope your day gets better! Happy 2010!

    I think you should refrain from blogging when drunk. We can wait til you sober up. Really, we can. I felt the same reading the “drogging” during the Summit in Boston. Healthy food blogs don’t have to be perfect, but I don’t have to read drunk reports—while you’re still drunk.

    oh for pete’s sake! there are worse (and less amusing) things one can do than write a tipsy blog post. i, for my part, enjoyed it. anyway, this is a food blog…it’s good to see people enjoying food & drink.

    I would much prefer an orange to the juice too.

    Sorry you are so grumpy. Hopefully the last relaxing day of vacation will help.

    Drinking alcohol (or anything salty) makes me crave fruit, too! Probably because it’s so refreshing and loaded with potassium to help balance us again. I have a bit of a food hangover. Ugh, too much cheese! 🙁 I want: lighter foods + exercise ASAP!

    I totally agree on vacations, they are awesome, but eventually I just want to be home.

    By the way, I just got hooked on Gossip Girl, making my way through the first season. I know I am quite late to the party, but the show is fun!

    Well, that breakfast should have you feeling better in no time. It sounds delicious!! I think greek yogurt, granola, and fresh fruit are for sure going on my grocery list. Sorry you haven’t been feeling great today. :-\ at least you have something of an appetite!
