Sun Valley to Park City

Whoa! What a long time it has been! Let me give you a brief recap of the happenings in my life since my last blog way back when. Moved from Seattle to Sun Valley, snow, lots of snow, sun, lots of that too, 5o+ ski days, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, trail running, one broken bone (Nate's clavicle), ski team, making new friends (but missing the old ones something awful), small town living, fun, fun, fun, moving to Park City to continue the mountain lifestyle that we absolutely love more than we ever imagined. Yay!

Short is the little time which remains to thee of life. Live as on a mountain. ~ Marcus Aurelius

Below you will see my food diary for the week.  Let me preface your reading by telling you my few dietary rules I live by.

1) I start EVERY day with a tall glass of water and Emergen-C.  Never ever do I skip this!

2)  (For the most part) I get a fruit and/or vegetable with EVERY meal, including snacks

3) I rarely go over 3 hours without eating.

4) I DO NOT believe in cheat days.  Why blow all your hard work and good eating for a week on one day of mindless cheating.  Satisfy your cravings with small portions and conscious eating on whatever day that may be.

5) Take vitamins everyday (multi, calcium, Omega 3's)

WORKOUT HARD!

My plan was to keep a food diary for a week to satisfy all your curious minds.  As you can see below, I have been diligent with my plan, UNTIL NOW!  If you have been following, you will have seen from previous posts, that I am a fairly consistent and disciplined eater.  AND, yes, I do drink, but as many of you know, I recently returned from 5 days of chips, guac, and margs in Cancun.  That is why, for the most part, it has been a clean week.  That brings me to today's post.  Before placing any judgement, remember my rule, 90 % fruits, veggies, whole grains, and proteins, 10% satisfy your cravings, whatever they may be.  This evening (oscar night) was more about the 10%, so here it goes......
