<\/p>\nHi guys! Today started bright and early at a little after 7pm.\u00a0 I crashed hard last night and only woke up once the entire time.\u00a0 After taking care of Rocks, I immediately poured myself some coffee.\u00a0 It’s Monday which is my rest day and thank goodness because I was tired!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I flipped through pictures from yesterday and worked on my post.\u00a0 Scott took so many pictures it took me a while to see everything.\u00a0 Plus find all the food pictures. :p\u00a0 Once Scott got up I made some breakfast.<\/p>\n
Oats! I have been craving oats and my body has been craving oats like nobody’s business.\u00a0 I think my bod wants to get back on track and back on schedule.\u00a0 We’ve still got a few more days of crazy fun stuff planned but after that food is going to be simple and fresh all the way.<\/p>\n Basic oats today with blueberries and coconut on top.<\/p>\n Either I’m not giving myself enough of a portion or I just need to make more because oats are not holding me over.\u00a0 By 10:30 I was already hungry again. :o\u00a0 I waited though because we were going out to lunch.\u00a0 I tossed a load of laundry in and got dressed while Scott made a quick run to the Hobbit Car Shop to get the oil changed.\u00a0 When he came back we were out the door.\u00a0 First stop was an alterations shop so I could get some pants taken in.<\/p>\n There is good and bad news, so I guess it’s kind of mixed!\u00a0 The pants are unable to be taken-in.\u00a0 They, um, would have to be taken in so much that they would look odd and not flattering.\u00a0 The lady flat out told me that it wouldn’t look nice. The back pockets would be touching or overlapping and that isn’t good.<\/p>\n At least she warned me and not just did it and took my money.\u00a0 I have to appreciate her honesty.\u00a0 So the good, I’ve done so well with my new lifestyle that I’m unable to get my pants taken in.\u00a0 The bad is that now I need even more new pants.\u00a0 And the even worse, is that I never got a chance to wear these pants. Booo<\/p>\n After it was decided that none of the pants were going to be altered, we headed off to lunch.\u00a0 A new place for us, Tip Top Kitchen<\/a> in downtown Columbus.\u00a0 We hit just after the lunch crowd so the place wasn’t too packed.\u00a0 It was a perfect experience!\u00a0 We got seated right away and the place was cozy and inviting.\u00a0 There was music but it wasn’t blaring at you making it hard to have a conversation.\u00a0 It was just sort of background noise to make things a little more relaxing.<\/p>\n I first came to hear about this restaurant via Twitter<\/a>.\u00a0 Specials and menu items are posted always making me drool!\u00a0 Especially since they also have loads of veggie dishes or dishes that can be made vegetarian.\u00a0 Oh yeah!\u00a0 We sipped on water while looking over the menu.\u00a0 Scott was discussing all his possible choices and when he said “the philly cheesesteak”, I have to say my heart skipped a beat.<\/p>\n My husband can eat whatever he wants.\u00a0 I’m not the type of wife that is going to get on him about something or be all, “Well could you make a better choice?” He’s a grown man and can do whatever.\u00a0 Imagine my surprise and delight when he said that he was going to get the cheesesteak vegetairian style. *squee*<\/p>\n It was made with a vegetarian steak substitute and he got sweet potato fries on the side.\u00a0 I will tell you right now that with my fork, I snagged a few bites of the insde and it was so good!\u00a0 Tip Top’s veggie cheesesteak rocks!\u00a0 And their sweet potato fries were fabbo as well!\u00a0 That was my first time trying sweet potato fries out and I was totally pleased.\u00a0 Crunchy and slightly salty, great combo!<\/p>\n I got the veggie wrap which had:<\/p>\n A bit of cheddar-jack cheese wrapped in a multigrian or whole wheat tortilla.\u00a0 I’m not sure which but it was not a plain white flour tortilla.\u00a0 I got eggplant fries on the side.\u00a0 Eggplant fries!! I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing these were!\u00a0 I think there might have been a type of coating on them but they were so good!\u00a0 Creamy and full of flavor.\u00a0 I had to stop myself or I would have inhaled my entire portion. We loved Tip Top! It was a perfect lunchtime restaurant for us.\u00a0 It was quiet and cozy with plenty of veggie options.\u00a0 If you’re looking for an inexpensive place to get a meal or grab a drink, try Tip Top!<\/p>\n After eating, to help digest my heavy lunch, we walked around downtown for a bit.\u00a0 Then we headed over to Dublin and walked around down there.\u00a0 Before we left Dublin, we stopped at Jeni’s ice cream<\/a>! Which is another new first for us. \u00a0 I had the hardest time picking a flavor to bring home.\u00a0 Everything seemed so delish!\u00a0 I finally decided on a flavor and Scott bought a cone for the road.<\/p>\n![\"Blueberry](\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ohc-07-06-09_oats.jpg\" "\\"Blueberry")

\u00a0 I had only 1\/2 the wrap though, it was totally jam packed with goodness and very filling.\u00a0 The rest of my wrap, fries, and Scott’s fries got boxed up to bring home.<\/p>\n
