Everybody's working for the weekend

Hi! How was your friday night? Andy and I went out for dinner and a movie with our friends Tiffany and Gary. We saw "Up in the Air" with George Clooney. I really enjoyed it!

Dinner was slightly rushed and went unphotographed. We went to a chain greek place Daphne's. Despite it being a chain, I really enjoy Daphne's! The pita bread is so soft and doughy.



Rewinding back to yesterday. I ran 2 miles in 30 minutes. I walked half and ran half. I WISH I could do 3 miles in 30 minutes. That's actually one of my goals! I get upset about my slow pace all the time.

Then I remind myself;

1. Rome wasn't built in a day
2. I had an extra 20-30 pounds on me.
3. There was a time in my life when even half a mile was a struggle!

So instead of whining and crying, I celebrate my slowness! Man, my heart rate got high. I can't believe it.



I ran about two hours after having breakfast with Sam at Starbucks. But the running made me STARVING! So a raw veggie plate with hummus was in order.



And some peanut butter/flax toast. And some leftover Potato Kale Soup



This morning, I sampled some cereal that Nature's Path was kind enough to send us to sample. Andy raved about this cereal so I knew I had to try it out before it was all gone.



I made a yogurt bowl with blueberry oikos, strawberries (from Oxnard, Ca which is a walk, skip and a jump away from our apartment!) and Nature's Path. The maple flavor in this cereal is fantastic! I loved that the cereal stayed crunchy in my yogurt. Nothing is worse than soggy cereal.



After my yogurt bowl, Andy and I went to the gym. Andy ran 2 miles on the treadmill and I did an easy 4 miles on the elliptical. I wish 4 miles on the treadmill was that easy!

And I burned 414 calories. NICEEEE. I immediately ate a tangerine when I got home. ("So sweet & juicy!" I hope someone gets that.)

We are going to pack for our night in Anaheim now! I'll be sure to take pictures. Hope you enjoy your weekend!
