A day to rest.......

Taken in Washing ton DC - entering Theodore Roosevelt Island

With summer being so short, I find myself trying to pack everything into this short season - trying to travel here, see these people, hop on this plane, take a train here, rent a car and drive there, brunch with this friend, go out dancing with that friend, stay up late nights, and JAM PACK every moment of every weekend!

Though this is great - I AM TIRED!!!!  And as I write this on my very first weekend not having any plans, I must say it feels good to just do nothing.  So before I go and take a nap (more important than doing laundry), I'll leave you with this:

Enjoy life but don't forget there is so much enjoyment in just being still.

As usual here are some pictures of my latest and greatest food escapades (Brooklyn to Harlem to Washington DC).  Disclaimer to rich food pictures: I have recently begun a clean eating diet, only drinking water (infused with cucumber, lime, and mint), meat serving once/day (small portion) and I feel great.  The exercise portion of this routine will begin next week - progress to be detailed soon!  If you have any suggestions, let me know.  I want to lose weight (about 12-15lbs) and just create a habit of incorporating more healthy items into my everyday diet.  Though, I will not give up my love of burgers and/or pizza!!!!

There are so many things on my mind these days, and life is busy - I'm taking a continuing education course (I'll let you know about it, once I'm done) - that there is soooooooo much to write about.  And I will.  But for now - enjoy the rest of the weekend - and remember, take some time to just enjoy yourself!!!!
 
You will be hearing back from me soon!

Hugs,
Des

Look at the captions for each picture to find out where I ate!
