My week so far + 30 miles check-in!

I hope all of you are having fabulous weeks so far! Charlotte has been absolutely GORGEOUS these past few days - dare I say the bad weather is finally gone? I currently have a lot on my plate with moving next weekend and work is (as usual) crazy crazy! I do not have another work trip until the 22nd and I am going to LA again. I cannot wait to go because I get to see one of my best friends, Haley! I am also going to stay until that Sunday so I can spend a bit more time with her - I am so excited! 

Our new restaurant in Charlotte on South Blvd - Luciano's - has been doing amazingly! Thank you to everyone who wished us luck, we had a great opening week and we hope this week will be even better. I can't tell you how happy I am that it is finally open! I love it there because you can eat healthy too - we have so many light dishes, salads and fish options so you will never get bored. I have been trying to get back into clean eating as much as possible while I am not traveling, but it is a struggle with all this delicous Italian food being thrown my way! Haha! The great thing is that the chef is awesome and he is always willing to make grilled fish and veggies :) 

Case in point - grilled trout with grilled asparagus and steamed broccoli

My friend Britney has an amazing food blog called Food For Beauty and she has been sharing the greatest healthy organic recipes! I was over at my friend Heather's on Monday night and she made me some avocado toast and also an amazing raw veggie salad with tahini dressing. Both recipes can be found on Britney's blog! 

I started weight training again this week. I am pretty dedicated to cardio, but that is just to maintain my weight, and I know that I tend to be in better shape when I weight train. I just really have to get my ass in gear! Which brings me to.... the 30 miles in 30 days link up with my girl Nikki! 

There's no sugar coating the fact that I haven't been as dedicated to my workouts as I should be these past months. I know I used traveling as an excuse, but honestly, there shouldn't be any excuses. Most of my hotels have gyms! Especially because I know how great I feel when I work out 4-5 times a week. After I move, I plan on joining flywheel again because I love it, and will start a dedicated weight training schedule. No more messing around!  

I did start logging my workouts at least! Nikki - be proud of me!
