Weekend Recap and Blogger Brunch!

By MissyMaintains, on March 23rd, 2009

I will recap back to Saturday since I have not posted since Friday night! It was a busy weekend!

Saturday

I woke up around 12 and had a Blueberry Z-Bar!

They are the best!

A little while after eating the bar, the boy and I went to Tower Diner for some brunch!

We split a chocolate milk to start.

I got my usual Mediterranean omelet: Egg whites with feta, mushrooms, tomatoes, and peppers!

I also had some whole wheat toast with butter and jam, home fries, and a piece of bf’s bacon!

I also had to have some of his amazing pancakes!!

He got scrambled eggs, bacon, and home fries as well. Everything was delicious!

Of course he insisted on dessert. I was already soo full but when chocolate pudding is put in front of me, I can’t resist!

YUM!

We went home and I did day 8 of the 30-Day Shred. I probably should have waited till my food was digested but I wanted to get it over with for the day. A little while after that, we decided to head to Union Square to do some shopping.

He got Cheetos at the subway stop so I had about half the bag. Yeah, I could not resist them either!

We got to Union Square and he got me some cute shoes and a shirt from Mandee. We were going to stop somewhere fast for dinner so we went into Quiznos. It turned out to be a huge mistake!!

I walked in and first asked the woman behind the counter if I could create my own sub. She had this attitude and said, “I guess.” So I ask if they have a multi grain roll. She said no. I asked if they had a whole wheat roll. She said no. Well I was staring at a dark colored roll next to her so I asked what it was she said wheat! She couldn’t tell me that when I asked for whole wheat???? So I got extremely mad and told my bf to order his. She gave him a HUGE attitude as well so he goes, “You know what? Nevermind!” We walked out and he yelled at the other guy working that he should watch how his employees act!” Ugh she was seriously so mean!

We kept walking and I remembered Whole Foods was nearby so I suggested we make our own salads! He said okay not knowing what to expect. We walked in and they were giving out sushi samples!!

I am not sure what kind it was but it was so good!! We both made huge salads after. We both went overboard but everything looked delicious!! Here is my bowl:

I will try to remember what was inside!

Salad (Romaine, Spinach, Kale)
Feta Cheese
Sweet Potatoes
Baked Tofu
String Beans
Eggplant
Wheatberry Salad
Broccoli
Squash
Kidney Beans
Artichokes

There was a few more things in my salad but I forget what they were called! I got Kiwi Strawberry Hint Water to try with my salad!

Okay, it was pretty gross. It had the slightest kiwi strawberry flavor that you could barely taste. I basically forced the drink down!

Oh well! The salad was amazing and I finished it all! The boy said it might be his new favorite place to get a salad! Yay!

I always talk about The Lite Choice ice cream with him and how amazing it is! We walked by one after and decided to get some! I got Cookies N Cream with Carob Chips!!

YUMMMM!

And healthy too!! It is low carb, low calorie, low fat, and kosher!

We left Union Square after the ice cream and decided to head right to the movies! Of course he had to order lots of junk that I could not resist again!

I had a few handfuls of Snow Caps and a Diet Pepsi.

Along with a few handfuls of popcorn. He got butter on it so I started to feel nauseous after eating so much. We saw Knowing which was pretty good! We got home and passed out after!

Sunday

I woke up around 11 to get ready for the Blogger Brunch!! I had another Blueberry Z-bar since I would not be eating till around 1:30 in the afternoon!

The brunch was at a restaurant called Counter. It was very cute inside but the service ended up not being so great! It was wonderful meeting a bunch of bloggers and readers! Here is my end of the table!

Other end!

Dori and I!

Thank you to Melissa from Fitness NYC for the WEIL bars and Sarah from Tales of Expansion for her Vegan Biscottis!!

I started with a Sangria! Nothing better than a drink to start the day!

I decided to order a Frittata with eggs, goat cheese, spinach with mesculan, and home fries. They told me they were out of goat cheese!! Goat cheese was the main reason I wanted to order this.

Then Dori asked about French Toast. They told us they were out of French Toast!!! Seriously, how is that possible?? They had eggs, they had toast…but they had no French Toast?

I decided to order an egg white omelet with mushrooms, potatoes, and salad. Mine took an extra 10 minutes longer than every one’s to come out!! Well except for Dori’s who ordered her fritatta without spinach. It came out with spinach…TWICE!! She told them she could not eat it so 20 minutes later they brought out an egg white omelet..still not what she ordered! Let’s just say I would not come back here!

My omelet ended up being okay despite the poor service.

I still had fun talking to all of the girls and seeing some of the same girls from last week! After the brunch, I walked to a place called Sugar with Sarah from Tales of Expansion, Vani from Fit For Free. and Emily from Eating Chalk. They had some amazing desserts in the window!!

We got yelled at for taking pictures! I did not get anything but Emily got the Gelato and it looked yummy!

I got home around 4 and got right in bed and slept till 9! I was not feeling well all day so I really needed the sleep. I got up once at 10 just to eat dinner and went back to bed! No Shred for me yesterday!

Soup sounded good since I was feeling sick. I had some Italian Style Wedding soup!

I wanted something for the side so I decided to make a peanut butter and jelly sammy! I used Strawberry Preserves and Naturally More Peanut Butter.

Nothing like a good old PB & J sandwich!

I wanted some crackers to throw in my soup so I brought out my Mary’s Gone Crackers Twigs!

Perfect meal!

I tend to love ice cream when I am sick. Well maybe all the time but especially when I am sick!! I pulled out some Breyers to make a sundae!

It had some banana, a Newman’s Own Oreo, and whipped cream!

I went right back to sleep after!! Fun weekend!!

So many great eats. I love Mediterranean omlettes! They are so delicious!

I love making huge colorful salads like that from whole foods. YUM

Sounds like you had a great time at the blogger brunch

I HATE bad customer service like you had at Quiznos. Why can’t people just be kind?!!! It’s not hard!!! Sorry that you had to deal with that!!
