What's the Damage?

Up 5lbs to be exact.  #sadface.  We have arrived home from our lovely week long stint in the beautiful British Columbia and I knew the results were not going to be pretty.  How could they be?  Some days I ate bread X 6 pieces in a day.  It was just....bad.  The trip itself, however? AMAZING!
   Traveling is a bit of  a tricky spot when it comes to clean eating and being healthy.  When we attended restaurants it is always more satisfying to get a hunk of meat with sweet potato fries or cheesy risotto than the thought of ordering a salad (though the one time I DID order a salad, it was amazing!)  I just have to get over the thought that salads are boring, because standardly when they come from a restaurant they are quite delightful.

 

So many of the restaurants in Vancouver know how to do breakfast in an amazing way, but usually that consisted of at least 1 slice of sourdough bread.  Sure, I could have asked for no bread, but where is the fun in that?  Especially when I see the cushy lovely bread on Ryan's plate.

 

Also, I drank a lot of coffee.  It was cool, chilly weather so coffee hit the spot.  Thankfully, I have always been the type to drink black coffee so I don't need to worry about the cream or sugar, but I still know that it impedes my digestive system.

Let's see...other things that were consumed on the trip, in no particular order:

Cookies

chocolate

sweet potato fries

creamy sauces

lobster and crab risotto

fish

scallops

potatoes

candy

cake...oh, so much cake

 In addition to eating though, we did a lot of walking and biking which probably helped keep the weight at bay.  I love BC so much, it seriously is one of the most beautiful places on earth and it will inspire me endlessly for my photography.  I could get lost in any of the woods in there and be transported to such a magical place!  I love it!

It was certainly a rewarding trip for me.  The driving and the ferry rides gave me time to think about myself, what I want for my business, what I need for my business, and what I need to do for my soul.  This trip was supposed to be sort of a celebratory trip for my 30th birthday and I think it encapsulated everything that I love: family, nature, photography, and time to me.  It was absolutely perfect.  Check out my http://keyholephotographyanddesign.blogspot.ca/ to see the ACTUAL images from the trip.  They aren't up there yet, but will be by the end of the weekend :D!
