1.5 miles on the treadmill
4 sets at the row machine
4 sets of push-ups (and not the girl kind…)
2 sets of sumo squats
200 crunches in between reps
4 sets of lunges…
and then lunch. I think I deserve it. But I don’t wanna blow my work out. My workout partner suggests a Hawaiian BBQ place. She says, teriyaki sauce, macaroni salad and white rice. Instantly, I think empty calories, enriched wheat flour, and more starch. I frown. We end up there anyway.
Much to my happiness - well my abs actually - we were at Ohana’s BBQ in Studio City on Ventura Blvd. I ordered the BBQ Chicken combination plate, where the teriyaki sauce was optional and I could have bean sprout salad and brown rice. While I understand that not everyone is not a health nut, I like a place that has options for the health conscious and not so conscious alike. The price point was a bit high for a lunch meal about $9.50 with tax but I can appreciate a bit of sticker shock when the portions are hearty… just enough left over for dinner.
So if you’re ever in the area and want a light yet filling lunch or dinner packed with veggies and protein, check out Ohana’s BBQ. I’ll be back.
