Time flies...

Wow, where has the last week gone?! I meant to blog a lot more from San Diego, but it just didn't happen. I had such a great time! The conference for our company went very well, and I loved being in California. I worked out every day we were there except for one:

Saturday - ran 3 miles on the treadmill

Sunday - worked out in the morning - various weight machines and 30 minutes on the elliptical. Then walked around the boardwalk and its shops for an hour and a half, and about 2.5 hours walking around the San Diego zoo! Lots of exercise that day.

Monday - 3 mile run outside around the marina and boardwalk

Tuesday - late night workout on the treadmill, 50 minutes jog/walk combo

Wednesday - rest day

Thursday - 4 mile run outside (I ran from the hotel to the airport, haha!) then when I got back to the hotel, I decided to climb up all 17 floors of stairs to my hotel room! By the 8th floor I wanted to sneak off to the elevator, but I forced myself to finish and I did!

I was definitely spoiled while we were out there! Since we were told to charge our breakfasts to the room, I ate at the hotel restaurant every day. The first morning I was there, I ordered an oatmeal and granola yogurt parfait. Guess how much this cost?

$20!!!! Also, I didn't realize how big this parfait was when I ordered it : ) there was definitely way too much food here. I barely got halfway through the parfait and ate about a quarter of the oatmeal. That parfait was AMAZING, though! I ordered it for a couple breakfasts. I would love to recreate it at home.

I also had a fair amount of seafood while out there. If you read my previous post, you know that I've considered myself a "seafood hater" my whole life. But throughout the trip, I got to know crab cakes, mahi mahi, halibut, and salmon and loved them all!!! I'm not going to classify myself a "seafood lover" and am not going to touch scallops, mussels, clams, or oysters anytime soon. But I did pick up some frozen, already cooked salmon and tilapia fillets at the grocery store today. I've wanted to like seafood for some time, as it's very healthy for you and low cal, low fat. I don't know how low fat my dishes at these fancy restaurants were, considering they were drowned in delicious sauces, but hey... gotta enjoy the free dinners!

Met Robin at the gym tonight and even though I worked out regularly last week, it still felt good to be back at "my" gym and get back into my routine. We did 20 minutes on the rowing machine and 25 minutes on the Stairmaster. Excited for boot camp class tomorrow, because I've missed the last 2 classes of it.

Getting back into the regular work schedule tomorrow is going to be tough. I sure do miss this San Diego view:

Good night!
