*Sigh* Vacation... The downfall to all the hard work you've done to prepare for the vacation in the first place.. Is the actual vacation! It's our excuse to eat any and everything we can think of, and drink until we sweat alcohol through our pores. Right? ... WRONG!
This past weekend I took a few days off to get some sun in Jacksonville and St Augustine, FL. If you know me I love eating at places I can't usually get to day to day. For Example Krystal's Burgers and Whataburger are two of my personal favs (I'm ashamed just saying that lol).
So soon as I touched down I went to Krystal's and grabbed a bottle of Peach Ciroc on my way back to my friend's house. TURN UP! Lol
Fast forward to the next day... I felt like shit. I'm always trying to justify that the reason I prefer shots over mixed drinks is because it's less calories, which is true but I eat like a crazy person when I'm drunk so what's the point?
Anyway of course you're not always gonna have the luxury of a stove when you're on vacation but I you do I would recommend going to the nearest Walmart and stocking up. I immediately bought 2 gallons of water, a bunch of fruit, egg whites, turkey bacon, chicken breasts, and steam bag veggies. Stuff that's quick and easy to make. Yea I still had a few snacks here and there but majority of what I ate was better for me than the little chicken sandwiches and alcohol I had on Friday.
St Augustine is known for their seafood so I went straight for the fried jumbo shrimp but chose to offset the bread with a really good salad on Saturday night for dinner.
Sunday night my friends talked me into cooking so I slow baked some chicken breast and shrimp and covered it in BBQ sauce (I like using Jack Daniels honey BBQ) and steamed some broccoli as a side.
