Road Sahoor Success

Sahoor on the road was what I was really worried about. I’ve had issues with this before so I wanted to make sure I was prepared this time. Luckily I was shown a great place by a friend in the area and it had everything I needed. I had a found an alternate place, a 24/7 deli with a decent salad bar, around the corner from my hotel just in case I woke up too late or the other spot was closed. Luckily choice number 1, a 24/7 French restaurant, was open for business when I got there at 4 am. Here is what I got (yay Sahoor pic):

Ahem, err..notice something wrong? It’s like Two Face from Batman, a good side and an evil side. Let’s start with the good. That is a 3 egg omlette with spinach and smoked salmon. Not sure what type of oil it was cooked in but it was delicous. I also had numerous glasses of water. Pretty sure the waiter thought I had issues drinking 9 glasses of water at 4 in the morning.

So the evil side. As you can see it came with fries. Fight the temptation and don’t touch them! Ask for a substitute when you can, a lot of places can be accomodating. If they aren’t, well then pack it up and give it to a homeless person on the street. Once it’s out of the picture, replace it with something like this:

That my friends was off the dessert menu and it was the largest plate of fruit I have ever seen. I ate about half of it and packed up the rest for Iftar tonight. This should be enough to hold me up through the day.

I hope to be home by Iftar time tonight so I should be able to pull a Paleo meal together in my kitchen. Oh and I just saw the workout at my gym, it’s “Cindy”. This will be interesting…
