Sunday Funday

Totally forgot to post on Sunday, so here goes:

After a whole night of shameless indulgence, I decided to wipe the slate clean and head on over to Napa to celebrate my dear ol' friend Wendy's 27th birthday.


The weather was cold, dismal and seriously depressing.  We headed out at 10:45am and made our very first stop at my favorite, McDonald's :)

I came with the intention of purchasing an ice coffee 

[med ice coffee w/sugar free vanilla syrup]

But I couldn't resist leaving with this:

McChicken [360 cal]

I ate it, bunless.

With our tummies full and our hearts content [mine anyways], off to Napa we go!

First stop: Bouchon Bakery

While all my friends decided to go with the savory Cuban sandwich, I regretfully chose the $8 endive salad, complimented with generous chunks of bleu cheese and walnut vinaigrette.  Feeling slightly unsettled with my decision, I opted to add their signature brownie to my meal.  

Now all is right in the world.

Next stop: Del Dotto Vineyards Cave Tour + Tasting

$50 Cave Tour included: 

Wine tastings from many different barrels, equivalent to about 3/4 of a full glass TOTAL

Crisp, cheesy pizza with delicious sausages littered on top

 An informative [snore] tour  - our guide sucked.

CHEESE

and more CHEESE

crackers

bread

Del Dotto exclusive Olive Oil

Bitter Chocolate

Port

Thinly-sliced Proscuitto + hard salami

Last Stop: Miyozen [Emeryville]

Spicy Tuna Salad

Pan-fried Gyoza - always a crowd favorite.

Japanese Fried Chicken

Sashimi Platter : not as fresh as I would have liked.

Albacore Tataki

Spider Roll + Philly Roll

Happy Birthday Wendy!

And a very happy birthday girl ;) holding my gift + hand-written card!

Because I over ate,  I felt the need to go to the gym.  Tired and full, I shlepped my way there.

Workout of the day: 1 hr 15 min

4 min running on treadmill [0 incline, 6.2 - 6.4 speed]

15 min walking on treadmill [6.5 incline, 4.4 speed]

56 min [stretching, abs, arms, light weights 5 - 8 lbs]

i still feel fatty after my workout, great. JUST GREAT.

Late night snack:

Garlic flavored triscuits

1 orange

HAHA, I couldn't resist!
