MONDAY: Mondays are “shoulder day” at LA Fitness
Co-owner, Carnitas Snack Shack
Burger Lounge
in 4S Ranch, followed by a tanning session at Urban Sun Tanning. Nights call for a stop at our favorite new spot, Sushi on the Rocks. Their Don Roll is “da bomb.” www.lafitness.com | www.urbansuntan.com www.sushiontherock.com
MONDAY: On Mondays, we head over to Toronado for $3 local drafts and the charm of Nate Soroko. It’s like our second family. www.Toronadosd.com
TUESDAY: For lunch, Salad Style’s Soba Noodle, Vegetable and Chicken salad offers the perfect balance. After work, I take a boxing session at the Boxing Club in UTC. My trainer, Jessica Lopez, makes sure I burn 1000 calories. I opt for take-out at Star Anise in UTC afterwards. www.saladstyle.com | www.theboxingclub.net www.staranisesandiego.com
WEDNESDAY: One of my first stops is the bBar. Any of their delicious juices or superfood smoothies are a great start. By hump day, I’m craving Mexican food. Diane Powers did right by opening Casa Sol y Mar in Del Mar Highlands Town Center. www.livebeaming.com | www.casasolymar.com
THURSDAY: Thursdays at Lobster West is where I stare at the Lobster Roll, but order one of their lobster or crab salads instead. If I’m in Carlsbad, I stop into Kasi for some fast, healthy Indian Food. www.lobsterwest.com | www.kasifoods.com

SUNDAY: First stop is Zion Market. My husband and I also hang out at Paris Baguette (located inside the market). Then, it’s dinner and a movie night at Cinepolis Del Mar. www.zionmarket.com | www.parisbaguetteusa.com www.cinepolisusa.com 26
WEDNESDAY: We try and make it to Salt and Cleaver at least once a week. We love everyone there, and the food is delicious. We inevitably end up spending hours there. www.enjoysausage.com
THURSDAY: We head over to Session’s Public in Point Loma. Chef Brandon Brooks is cooking up some great stuff. He just debuted a great new menu, and the inviting atmosphere keeps us coming back! www.sessionspublic.com
FRIDAY: There is one place that just can’t miss,
FRIDAY: I trade in happy hour for some “me time.” Master Stylist Truong Dahn at Salon de Claude in 4S Ranch is about the only person I trust with my hair. I also look forward to my facials at Neu Look Spa. Then, it’s date night with the hubby, Italian style, at Bice Ristorante in downtown. www.salondeclaude.com | www.neulookskin.com www.bicesandiego.com SATURDAY: Mornings and afternoons are spent at the pool, then it’s off to Burger Lounge for the best turkey burgers. Saturday is my “drinking day,” so I enjoy mojito martinis and dinner at the Pacific Coast Grill in Cardiff. www.burgerlounge.com | www.pacificcoastgrill.com
TUESDAY: We are closed on Tuesdays, but after meetings, we usually end up at Fathom Bistro Bait & Tackle. It’s the best place to view our beautiful sunsets, and it helps that they have awesome food and beer. It’s also one of the only places in San Diego, where you can throw a line in the water, without a fishing license. www.fathombistro.com
Yakitori Yakyudori and Ramen on Covoy. There is nothing on the menu that we don’t love. There is usually a line, but we will wait. It’s worth it. No website, but give them a call at 1-858-268-2888
SATURDAY: One of us tries to hit up Industrial
Casa S ol y Mar
Grind on Park Ave every Saturday, and sometimes they will even bring it to us! These ladies make a fierce iced coffee, and it’s the only way to start a busy day. www.industrialgrindcoffee.com
SUNDAY: Hanis works until the wee hours on Sundays, which gives me time to spend with my adorable piggy, Carnitas. He loves mommy time. Carnitas: Speck@facebook.com
