Hey everyone! Happy weekend! Hope yours is going swimmingly
This is gonna be a quickie because Megan will be here any second to cook an Indian feast with me.
Yesterday morning, I met my friend Ashley for a pilates pow wow and ate this before heading out:
For someone who usually isn’t a fan of white chocolate, Jenn has me HOOKED on these bars!!
When I got home, it was a cucaracha for snack:
I spent the entire day being domestic by cleaning and baking up a storm.
I stopped for a lonchi of AB and P on Ezekiel:
And my new favorite combo: APPLE AND GOAT CHEESE!
I went with Jeni and her friend Megan to Hizzle Lizzle (aka Hobby Lobby) and then my friend Megan (yup, there were 2 Megans) met the 3 of us at Lonestar for dinner.
I got my usual: grilled shrimp with no butter sauce, a plain baked sweet potato and veggies:
I also had a lovely glass of vino
When I got home, it was still pretty early and I decided to do a Dave Farmar podcast after reading about it on Jenna’s blog. IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING. I figured Jenna definitely knows her yoga, and if she said he was good, then he had to be—and it rocked my world. For the first time EVER, I truly enjoyed doing yoga and actually got an awesome workout from it! Thank you for the great recommendation, Jenna! I’ll totally be doing these podcasts more often!
This morning, I really wanted cereal for b-fast, even though it never fills me up. It just sounded so good.
I topped Whole Foods honey wheat puffs with 1/2 banana (ate the other half on the side w/ AB), goji berries, blueberries and 3/4 cup almond milk.
I hit up Wizzle for a few things, waited in line at the post office for an hour to ship 5 packages (macarooons are on the way, friends!) then had this for a snack:
Heather introduced me to these bars and I absolutely adore them. Kind of like a Larabar, minus the stickiness.
After that, I loaded up my iPod and Camelbak and drove to base for a long run. I did 9.5 miles and it was a doozy. I felt so victorious when it was over, though. I munched some Sports Beans after mile 6 and didn’t take a pic—they were delicious, though
When I got home, I was starving, but in a rush to let the puppers out, shower and meet my friends at the movies.
I tried another new goat cheese combo: cucaracha and goat cheese
It was surprisingly incredible. I’m starting to think goat cheese is good on anything
I also had a 1 egg, 1 egg white egg-stada with salsa
And popped a ton of popcorn and topped it with sea salt and nutritional yeast to sneak into the movies with me. I should have re-bagged it because the bottom corner had a hole in it and proceeded to sprinkle nutritional yeast at the bottom of my Chanel bag. Lovely. I cleaned it out, and still ate the popcorn of course
We saw New in Town and it was pretty cute. I’m not a huge Harry Connick Jr. fan –Patrick Dempsey should have been in it, haha—but it was funny and endearing.. and made me miss my pilot, of course. I’m so ready for him to get back here!! I can’t see scary movies while he’s gone because I have nightmares, and even the slightest bit of romance in a movie turns me into a giant mushball.
We went to Marble Slab after the movies and I got a small yogurt swirl with chocolate chips:
It was gloooooorious.
Well I’m off to make some Indian food with Megan!!! I’ll be catching up on your blogs in the morning! Hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend!
xoxo,
