Wednesday 6/22

Hello!  Wednesday is upon us and so far things are looking pretty good!  (other than the weather, of course! L)

I woke up to less pain in my knee and more mobility.  I didn’t go to the gym, partially because I was hesitant to work it out 3 days in a row, partially because Nora kept waking up and crying for mama this morning and partially because my phone died and I didn’t wake up until like 6!  SO instead I went to my basement and had a QUICK PJ workout.  I rode the bike for 5 minutes and did 3 sets of 20 reps of Twisting Bicep Curls and Cross-Body Bicep Curls.  Nothing major by any means, but it was something at least? 

We had music class for Nora last night and didn’t get out until 7:15 so we decided to just run to Noodles & Co. to grab dinner.  Terrible choice.  I was rooting for Panera but Branden just kept saying that “Panera isn’t dinner food.” – whatever that means?  I ended up getting a strawberry and spinach salad with chicken, pecans, blue cheese, croutons and bacon with a fig vinaigrette.  We got home and there was no chicken on my salad so Branden had to go back and get it (after all, he paid $2.39 to add chicken!) and then once I got into the salad, it was like 10% spinach, 50% croutons and 40% everything else.  Needless to say, I wasn’t pleased and didn’t eat all of those damn croutons.  Just a bad experience and, as I’ve said before about this restaurant, I won’t be going back there again!

Food Today:

Dinner:

Date night with hubby – we’re going to Hofbrauhaus!  A terrible choice nutritionally, but we have a gift certificate and date night is much needed. 

I’m hoping that I can go swimming with Andi tomorrow at Urban Active!  I think it’s time for me to switch gyms.  This not working out thing is REALLY starting to get to me and I’ve heard that swimming can be great cardio.  Hopefully, if I get to go with her tomorrow morning, I can talk to the membership people there and see what we can do J

Miss Nora is leaving today with my parents and my grandmother headed to Virginia!  We’ll be meeting up with them Friday after we drive through the night Thursday.  I CAN’T WAIT to get there!!  I feel like I haven’t seen my brother in FOREVER and it will just be nice to get out of here for a while!  Our hotel has a  decent size pool so I’m going to try to sneak in there early in the mornings to swim some laps J  If all else fails, I know there’s a fitness center so I can do what I can in there too!

Well, that’s about all I have for today.  The lovely miss Ashley G. told me that she was making the Turkey Meatloaves for dinner last night!  I love to hear when other people are enjoying my recipes J  I hope they turned out great!

Until tomorrow…
