I just got back from Charlotte and am so happy to be in my own bed. Charlotte is such a cute city and although I was there for work, I did actually have some time to explore with my friend Melissa who was traveling with me. It was almost 100 degrees each day though– we were shvittzzing! 
Before leaving for Charlotte, I spent Fathers Day at the Yankee Game with my Dad, Mom and Sis. We had an awesome time and even witnessed Extreme Makeover Home Edition being taped. It was about a woman who lives with her 6 siblings who all have downs syndrome and she devotes her life to taking care of them. They are building a new home for her and her siblings– it was very moving!
I only really got one notable food picture. We went to Dean and Deluca for lunch one day and I designed an amazing sandwich:
Grilled portabello, sundried tomatoes, grilled asparagus, tomatoes, mozzarella and pesto mayo on whole wheat… Grilled. YUM!!!
And then of course after two days of travel and eating out, I came home tonight and craved nothing but a big bowl o’ veggies…
So after a quick walk to the grocery store I put together spinach, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, a chopped apple, leftover tofu, lotsa goat cheese and some raisins….
…. with a little Annie’s buttermilk ranch dressing on top.
Raisins in a salad are *key*. Loved it!
Off to bed so I can wake up and run my mile in the morning. I worked out both days in Charlotte which I am pretty proud of. Monday did about 25 minutes on the elliptical and walked around the town a lot. And today woke up and did some walking on the treadmill to wake up, then about 25 minutes of strength training. Hopefully my mile will be easier tomorrow! We shall see..
sandwich looks gooooooooooood!
