Just the essentials

Hi friends! Thank you so much for the wonderful birthday wishes <3 I loved reading all them and they made my day even brighter than it already was.roses2

I’m up late blogging since we were out partying our faces off!

Ok, not really.

I went to work, came back to the casa, showered (“I can’t believe I have to shower on my birthday”), we took Bell for a walk, hit up the mall and Nordstrom Rack and then spent the rest of the night drinking tea (Eggnog Latte for the mister) at the Starbucks where we met. All in all, a truly wonderful day.

For lunch, I enjoyed a hummus tostada (crispy corn tortilla, hummus, goat cheese, greens and mixed veggies) + half a chicken GF sandwich (ate the rest after work) from Renee’s Organic Oven.

I called the Pilot while I was driving home and he said “Don’t make lunch yet- I picked some up for you.” I love that man.

+ CAKE :D

Courtesy of the madre: GF chocolate cake with white frosting and rainbow sprinkles. That’s the half of the cake I took back to work with me- the girls loved it :)

Before slicing the pieces to take to work, I munched two.. and was bouncing off the walls during Zumba. It was a very fun class – lots of energy and yelling ladies who were happy to shake their booties. The best.

We just got back to the casa and, in our typical fashion, have barely started packing for our trip tomorrow.

At least the essentials are ready:

bars

water

shoes

If you live in La Jolla and happen to see a girl with an enormous belly, wearing only boots and munching a Larabar, that’s me.

See ya from the road!

Today’s workout jam:

Love this for high-energy cardio- it would be great for a gradual tempo or resistance increase throughout the song, too.

Good morning! Happy Saturday to you :) Hope you’re having an amazing weekend so far.

[She was in another world for that pic, but usually Bell will give me a smug face when the Pilot is petting her. Like “See? I win. Be jealous.”]

The Pilot and I got a lot done around the casa yesterday, since he was off work. I washed and organized everything from the baby shower, ran a few errands, took the day off from the gym since I was sore from Thursday Zumba and tubing classes, and then it was play time.

We went to Guadalajara Grill

and didn’t even mess around with ordering entrees. We got all got a few appetizers to share since we weren’t very hungry and usually end up getting full from chips and salsa anyway.

You can’t really deny the salsa made tableside + fresh, salty chips:

Good stuff.

This morning, I figured it was a good day to include a little chocolate in my breakfast:

oats

Pumpkin protein oats with almond butter and a square of dark chocolate melted in

Thank you so much for the early morning birthday wishes <3 The Pilot is home this year, we’re off to San Diego tomorrow am, and I get to teach Zumba, so I’m thinking it will be a good day.

I’m taking the GF chooclate cake with sprinkle frosting that the madre made- I’ll post a pic this afternoon since it’s still at her house- to share with the girls at work. I like working on my bday, especially with the jobs I’ve been blessed with, and when people complain about working on their bday (or give advance bday alerts) it always reminds me of this hilarious skit:

Enjoy your Saturday and I’ll see ya later!
