Guilt Free Indulgence....Do you stress about what to eat when you go to a house party?

Yum!! Yum!!! Yum!! I went to a fabulous oscar party last night. I had a spinach egg and cheese wrap at home for breakfast and then off to a show. I had a few nibbles throughout the day that equaled about 1/2 a tuna wrap. So, I was concerned about food before this party. Luckily, my girlfriend Francesca told me that our hostess always had more than enough food. I was running late, so I got dressed and headed to the party. I was totally stressed that I didn't want to gorge on pepperoni and cheese or a bunch of fattening dips. Boy, was I ever happy that I didn't come prepared! Her food was insane! I probably ate too much and I did it all without guilt. I've been getting 30-90 min of exercises most day. I've been eating raw or entirely whole grain whenever possible and she put alot of love into this food. I will say I tried to take it slow and was conscious of enjoying every bite!!

Thank you stacy!! My favorites were the eggplant dip stuffed in mini pitas. And, the Chocomole!!! Yes people quacamole with coco powder. It was so yummy. I think I'm going to steal that and change it around to a chocolate mouse layered with berries. So, what else...Stuffed Mushrooms, Mock Tuna Salad made with Parsnips stuffed in mini pitas, Stuffed celery with a crazy cheese concotion that I definately had too many of, yummy marinated veggies, delicious sangria (I probably didn't take that slowly enough.) And, Stacy does private party catering. She even specializes in Vegan, Vegetarian or even Raw diets. That makes 3 good friends who can cook phenomenal menus. So, if you are ever looking for a little party help...let me know. Then we'll send Dan from BodyMind Training over in the morning to work everyone back into shape.

But, the message here is sometimes you just have to let go of the "Ultimate Healthy Choices," and enjoy whats in front of us. (in moderation of course) Afterall, that's why we work out 4+hours a week.
