a ton I tell you...I love restaurant week a ton. This last Thursday my friends RO and her sweet husband PO and I went to Pappas Steakhouse, which is one of my favorites. I really don't think I have EVER had a bad time there....or bad food! So we went after work and had some fabulous food, some even better wine and even BETTER conversation and laughs. I just love getting to hang out with them - and I don't get to do that all that often! And next week just continues -- I swear I am hitting four more fabulous restaurants! And don't think I probably won't be spending some extra time at the gym too!!! I did meet with my nutritionist last week to discuss - and we picked out meals at all the restaurants so I am good to go! now....I just have to not drink a bottle of wine!
Friday we hit the gym and got killed by the trainer....for some reason, Friday's are the worst. I think its just being tired from the week and if we are doing something hard -- like my favorite circuit where you are laying on a bench and it involves your legs in the air and a 30 lb bar in my arms which also stay in the air -- well, its almost miserable. I admit at one point she had to help hold my legs in the air! Then ironically RH met one of her staff for a breakfast meeting - and then her staff and I had lunch. She is the cutest thing - I recruited her a long time ago and she was my intern....nad I adore her. it was so good to get to hang out and catch up....even better at ruggles bakery. one of my favorites....and I actually was able to forgo the white chocolate bread pudding...which is difficult! I met up with Skye for pedicures and then went home and got organized. I LOVE FRIDAY'S OFF!!! I love starting my weekend with my house picked up, some errands run and rested. It is just fantastic.
Today SM and I went to the park to walk. I haven't been in a while -- it has just been a little hot outside --- but it wasn't that bad this morning. I love getting to spend time excercising....and catching up with my friends. Even more when we continue at starbucks after for some skinny lattes and my favorite egg white spinach wrap!
I actually finally found some time to go shopping this afternoon....after I gave away about 2/3 of my clothes. It got to the point where they were so big that it wasn't worth keeping anymore. I am only allowing myself to buy things that I can really wear to work but I got lucky and a lot of the stuff I have been eyeing was on SALE! EVEN BETTER!!!! So I have a few new shirts and feel like I am in a better place now! I HATE walking up to my closet to figure out what to wear and there is nothing there...so we don't have that problem anymore.....well, at least for a while!
and now I am off for a nap and then hanging out with some friends....I love low key weekends....love them...almost as much as I love restaurant week!
