Sharing a full fay of eats from begin to end.
Hello pals! How are you? I hope you had a beautiful Valentine’s Day, whether or not you have been celebrating together with your love, your Galentines, your kiddos, or your pet 🙂 For at the moment’s publish, I assumed I’d share an old-school day of eats and adventures just like the weblog days of yore. Please needless to say What I Ate Wednesday posts are simply to share some new concepts and I completely perceive why they are often problematic or not a match for sure pals on the market. If it’s not your cup of tea, no worries in any respect, and I’ll see ya tomorrow with a brand new podcast episode!
Within the meantime, join Spring Form Up right here and begin trying out the platform! Now we have over 200 pals signed up thus far and I can’t wait to do that with all of you.
The women awoke early and had their Valentine’s baskets ready for them.
(Sweet, beanie boos, a cute coronary heart sweater, a e-book, some bathtub bombs and lip gloss. They have been pumped!)
When the women have been a lot youthful and I noticed reward baskets for each.single.vacation, it made me really feel pressured. I used to be simply making an attempt to maintain them alive, clear, fed, and comfortable, so issues like Halloween baskets or Valentine’s baskets appeared unfathomable to place collectively. As a substitute, I simply tried to do different issues to have a good time, like hearts on their door with issues that I like about them. I nonetheless do that one at the moment and the women adore it – they hold the hearts up all 12 months.
Now that they’re a bit older and might, you already know, gown themselves, bathe themselves, and so forth., it’s a lot simpler to do enjoyable little further issues once I really feel prefer it.
I chugged some AG1 earlier than heading out the door and ate a few eggs with sriracha and EBTB seasoning.
(Confession: I’ve solely tried AG1 a few instances prior to now and didn’t just like the style. The model requested me if I needed some to check out, so I figured I’d give it an actual attempt to probably share with household and pals. Seems: I like it. I even began craving the style within the morning after ingesting it constantly. I like all the vitamins and I really feel nice after a few weeks of ingesting it every morning on an empty abdomen. They provided a reduction code to share, so I’ll publish it as quickly as I’ve it!)
I dropped the women off at college with their Valentine’s bins and goodies for his or her pals, and went straight to the Pilot’s squadron.
On the way in which, I picked up a couple of dozen Valentines donuts to go away on the bar for everybody to get pleasure from, together with playing cards and roses for his or her family members.
After I dropped off the products, I headed someplace I by no means go anymore: the bottom health club!
I LOVE understanding on base. They’ve the whole lot I might ever need, all the enjoyable useful tools, and the vibe all the time challenges me to work arduous. The bummer is that it’s a stable half-hour from our home (40 in visitors), so it’s not lifelike to go in the course of the week. Since I used to be already on base, I figured it was the right time for a exercise subject journey and obtained in an superior complete physique exercise.
Breakfast was ready for me within the automotive:
1/2 cup oats
Almond milk
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
Cinnamon
Blueberries
Peanut butter
It set within the fridge in a single day so the oats have been gentle, and it was the right post-workout gasoline.
I headed straight residence to get to work for a few hours (answered emails, recorded a podcast episode, and designed the exercises for subsequent month’s Match Staff) after which took Maisey on a stroll.
Lunch was leftover Tremendous Bowl chili, a bit of sourdough with butter, and a easy chopped salad with Poshi asparagus and Primal Kitchen dressing.
I obtained again to work (studied IHP, 1 1:1 consumer name, labored on my Friday Faves weblog publish, despatched some invoices), took a meditation/prayer break on my Go Mat (10 minutes)
after which had a lil afternoon deal with:
a decaf espresso with almond milk, collagen, and a See’s coronary heart truffle.
Rapidly, I blitzed by way of the home (ran a loud of laundry, wiped counter tops, vacuumed, and switched out the dishes) and headed to a gathering at church. After the assembly, I picked up the crew, who had tons of valentines and goodies from college!
We headed residence the place that they had after-school snacks, and we dropped Liv at dance with extra Valentines to alternate. P and I labored on her homework at residence and obtained prepared for somewhat household date evening at Fleming’s.
Fleming’s is likely one of the eating places in Tucson that’s constantly very excellent. All of us love their meals, so I figured it could be the right Valentine’s dinner.
My lil Valentines:
As all the time, the whole lot was unimaginable.
We began with the salad (the Pilot and I break up one), a shrimp cocktail, and P had the cheese plate from the youngsters’ menu. Liv and the Pilot additionally obtained cups of lobster bisque – I attempted a style and it was aaaaamazing. For our entrees, all of us obtained filets, and shared asparagus, onion rings, and Fleming’s potatoes (cheese and calmly spicy). The Pilot stopped consuming desserts again in October so I shared this chocolate lava cake with Liv (P had ice cream and whipped cream). I had some sauvignon blanc and a Valentine’s cocktail that had gin, strawberry and lemon.
Once we obtained residence, I’d like to say I crashed into mattress in a wine and steak induced slumber, however…not fairly. I folded and put away a load of laundry, set out the women’ garments for Wednesday, the Pilot completed homework with the women whereas I packed lunches,
and stayed up too late studying. 😉
I crashed out round 11 and was able to blitz once more this morning.
How was your Valentine’s Day? What was the BEST factor you ate yesterday? Any superior exercises?
