Nutrition Fun!

I never really got to rest today, but it was all nutrition fun! Thanks for all of your emails about the nutrition counseling!

IMG_6037

The Charlotte Dietetics Association meeting was a lot of fun. It was held at 131 Main and was free to the first X number of RSVPs – I snagged one!

Alcohol was not included, but it was festive so I ordered a glass of Chardonnay – the butteriest they had.

The menu options included a Thai Steak Salad, a Seared Tuna Salad, Roasted Chicken or a Soup/Cobb Salad combo. I chose the tuna –

The tuna was great – perfect crispy on the outside and rare on the inside.

IMG_6039 (1024x768)

I had to snap these photos very quickly since our speaker had just started! A few of the other R.D.s asked me what I was doing and I happily gave them my new business cards. Hopefully they are checking it out tonight! Hi ladies!

The salad included mango, avocado, ginger cabbage + lettuce with the dressing on the side for me.

IMG_6038 (1024x768)

Later on they brought out key lime pie for dessert but I DECLINED!! So unlike me, but I decided I wasn’t really craving it and should just say “no thank you.” It was quite easy until I saw what I was missing! But I wasn’t going to order it after the fact, and am now glad I turned it down. Sure looked good though!

IMG_6040 (1024x768)

My tuna salad was perfect at the time, but a little on the small side, and I was missing some grains, so it’s no wonder that an hour or so later I got hungry! I decided on a piece of PB&J toast on an end piece, which hit the spot.

I’m pretty tired and going up to read in bed.

Poor Matt worked a 15 hour day today (starting at 4am!) and is pulling another one off tomorrow since we’ll be in New Orleans on Friday and he wants his 40 hours in before Thursday. He’s gotta be tired! But he said when he came home “I could have worked another 8 hours,” so you know he loves his job, and that makes me happy.

Night guys!

    Oh, that pie looks heavenly. Good for you for turning it down though!

    We went to a restaurant in NOLA called Pierre Masperos. I got the salmon. Very delicious!

    Looks amazing… you clearly have a will of steel if you are able to pass up the key lime pie! You go girl!! and goodness…a 15 hour workday?!?!! I wish i loved my job that much, but unfortunately, I usually feel compelled to run for the door at 8 hours!!

    I LOVE hearing when people love their jobs. When you spend so much of your life working, you want it to be something you can be excited about!
    That pie does look good indeed… maybe it’s for the best that you didn’t see it first? 🙂 Have a great night.

    Seeing your spouse happy at a job is one of the best feelings in the world. If Eric has a bad day, I feel like I had a bad day too. Both of you have come so far…not too long ago you were at your desk job and same with Matt. Pretty crazy, isn’t it??

    Wow! 15 hour work day!? I am so glad to hear that Matt enjoys what he does – that makes all the difference.
    I am glad you had such a great evening – that tuna salad looks delicious. Way to listen to your body and cravings and turn down the Key Lime pie. I also love that your new business cards came in handy so quickly!

    I can’t imagine working 15 hour work days 2 days in a row I’d go nuts! Then again I don’t really love my job the way Matt does.
    Great dinner everything looks delish.

    The last time I was in Florida I decided I was going to try key lime pie every time I saw it on a menu (which was a lot!) Not too good for the waistline, but it was a delicious experiment, and thankfully my husband helped me out!

    The dessert looks ok, but your salad looks amazing. Good job not getting dessert just because “it’s there and free.”

    ohhh my goodness, that’s where we ate the night i didn’t come to nate’s party! lucky you for snagging a apot.

    and i had the key lime pie — i think the best i’ve ever tasted. but good for you for declining it if you weren’t really feeling it 🙂 it’s in your neighborhood-ish, so you can always head back when it’s time for a splurge.

    enjoy yoga today!
