Mini Wave and Celebration To Me!

That’s a quote by none other than Mr. Chandler Bing from Friends. ‘The One with the Football’.

Thursday my office had a mini celebration/lunch for PA week and everyone was surprised when I actually ate.  We had fajitas, and I decided I could make it healthy! Here was the lineup, it was SO much food.

Now this was just ridiculous. They sent over so much sour cream it looked like a pie. No one needs that much sour cream. It was probably 10-12 of us?

My plate! Okay so yeah I had 2 of them… But I loaded up with salad, then put the chicken fajitas on top with salsa. I had one small piece of the steak fajita just to try, boy was it good.

My day ended up being stressful at the end so I had to eat my pre-gym snack in the car.

Tilapia while driving… classy!

When Thursday was over I practically jumped for joy. I live for days off now. Friday’s are my favorite just because I know I have 3 whole days. Phoebe and I ended up sleeping in (we got up at 7:30 but then she convinced me that we should go back to bed). It was rainy and cold and the perfect day for it!

In the early afternoon I was in Annapolis and stopped in the best coffee shop ever.

Just look at all this stuff!

There were two walls of these teas!

And about 3 rows of these coffees 🙂

I chose these, couldn’t say no.

And this coffee for home!

I also bought the most ADORABLE mug.

I love it 🙂

True words.

When I ordered my soy latte the girl behind the counter said just to let you know we now offer almond milk. WHAT!? YOU DO! I almost jumped up and down out of excitement. YES ALMOND MILK PLEASE! I’ve been complaining for a long time that coffee shops need to carry it and I never thought it would happen. Too bad this place is about 45 minutes from my actual apartment.

Back at G-Mama and Pop Pops Phoebe was acting a fool, so I said off to the gym I go!

“SQUIRREL? WHERE!?” 

I made it a shoulder day. My cardio was 45 minutes of intense spin class. You guys know I love that darn spin bike! I think it’s because I’m alone in the room.

If you spin regularly, I HIGHLY recommend the shoes. They make such a huge difference. I’ve had these close to 9 years I guess and they still look almost new.

Then it was time to lift!

Always the only woman in the weight room. Move over fella’s!

• Seated shoulder press, 15-20 lb weights, 10-20 reps x 4 sets
• Side bends, 35 lb plate, 12 reps x 3 sets each side
• Front plate raise, 35 lb plate, 10 reps x 4 sets
• Torso twists with 35 lb plate, 10 reps x 3 sets
• Lateral raises with 10 lb kettles, 10 reps x 4 sets
• Arm circles, 8 lb kettles, 20 reps x 2 sets each direction
• Rear delt fly’s, 25 lb weights- 10 reps x 4 sets  GUY NEXT TO ME SAME WEIGHTS! I did more! 😉
• Upright rows, cables, 50-60 lbs, 10 reps x 4 sets
• Rotator cuff open and close, 20 lb weights, 10 reps x 4 sets

Finished with some stretching and bundled up because it’s rainy and chilly here!

Since the weather screamed “comfort food”, late Thursday night I made a low carb turkey meat loaf that I ate on Friday. It turned out pretty good for my first one ever!

It was really moist too. I’m saving this recipe for a little special project 🙂

So that’s the past two days. Tomorrow morning is a big day for Miss Buffay and I. We have orientation for obedience training. I had to fill out a small survey and when asked what Phoebe’s specific temperament and behavior issues are, I answered like this:

• Needs Mommy’s CONSTANT attention! She whines A LOT. A jumper too and kicks her back legs when she doesn’t get her way. (Basically a diva). 

I had DiPeppe cracking up. I had to describe the dog accurately! This sentence says a lot and describes her to a tee. At least they will know what they are in for!

Have a great Saturday. Wish us luck!

XOXO With a Cherry On Top,

P.S. If you haven’t watched the new season of American Horror Story: The Coven on FX, I suggest you run to your TV and find it to DVR. I loved season one, hated season 2, and season 3 comes back with a win. It’s about witches! LOVE IT! Bravo creator Ryan Murphy 🙂
