Cameron and I both did the hike (although he made it to the top in the same amount of time it took me to reach the bailout), and then we went to a juice bar. I had a big bowl of oats for lunch and snacked on mixed nuts, an apple, and a kombucha before dinner. I made Black Bean, Zucchini, and Olive Pitas from Isa Chandra's cookbook, Appetite for Reduction, for family dinner.
In recording all of my meals on MyFitnessPal (feel free to add me here too!), I realized that I had not had nearly enough calories today, especially for the amount for physical activity I did. So I'll be enjoying a medjool date-based "frappucino" after this!
No slip ups from my family members yet! I'll go more in depth on what we all eat this weekend.
Ten.
