Friday: Taught Body Attack and then ran out to Whole Foods with Josh to hit up the salad bar. I made a beast (as Gina would say ;)). Romaine, peppers, cucumbers, cauliflower, broccoli, edamame, carrots, green beans, a couple potatoes, black beans, cabbage, a baked tomato (so yummy), and a few pieces of macaroni and cheese. It was delicious.
Josh and I also picked up these mini fruit desserts for the two of us and Jenny. They were 99 cents and very yummy.
Saturday: Taught Body Step, hit up Starbucks for a non fat misto and went food shopping with Jenny. Once we had gotten cleaned up, we headed off to the Isle of Palms to check out a potential wedding location for Laural. We also laid on the beach for about an hour.
After the beach, I did some house work and then we headed into Charleston for dinner with friends. We went to the South End Brewery , which I love! The inside looks very industrial:
And they have great food/beer! Josh got his usual, pulled pork. They put fried pickles on the top of every burger/sandwich. 
I got the Grilled shrimp and spinach salad which comes with apples, onions, goat cheese, almonds & a balsamic vinaigrette. I've gotten this twice and the shrimp have been cooked to perfection both times.
Sunday: Got up and headed out the door to my parents house. My Mom, Aunt, and I hit up the beach for about an hour and then got lunch. I got a garden salad (sorry no pic). I came home and started to get the house cleaned up. Then, Josh, Jenny, and I went and saw the Hangover (which was HILARIOUS). We came home and made up shrimpy salads (very similar to my dinner the night before ;). I cooked up some shrimp in a little olive oil with some Cajun seasoning. I then made up salads that fit each persons likes.
"The Jenny": spinach, peppers, shrimp, oranges, walnuts, feta, water chestnuts:
"The Josh": Spinach, water chestnuts, oranges, mozzarella, walnuts, shrimp, lemon/olive oil dressing and a baked potato on the side.
"The Erica": Romaine, peppers, oranges, shrimp, water chestnuts, salsa
Phew! Whats your week looking like?

We have a brewery like that in MN called Granite City and it has the real "industrial" look too. Plus they claim to have the "best beer", but doesn't every place say that haha? My week is going to be EXTREMELY busy! We have to prepare the house for family that is staying and finish up last min things for my grad party this Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI saw some pre-made edamame salad at the store yesterday. It looked so gross! I've gotta hunt for this stuff by itself.

ReplyDeleteShrimp on salad is awesome!!! I go crazy at WF salad bars because who has time to make all those elaborate toppings at home?!?! My wallet suffers. hahaha
I had pulled pork sandwich toooo!! But mine was not fancy shmancy like Josh's. :P Hope you're doing well Erica!!!
