“SPRING BREAK…WOOOOO!”

15 03 2009

My roommates and I have been yelling that at each other randomly since yesterday :) It feels pretty glorious.

Yesterday I woke up feeling refreshed and relaxed (I better have after 10 hrs of sleep!) and decided on brunch:

Egg on ww toast, 1/2 a nanner with cinn and a blood orange.

Then I bummed around and had a 4 mile run on the treadmill, which was fantabulousssss. I had to quickly shower and get ready because we went out to The People’s Pint, a restaurant and brewery in a nearby town.

Liz and I have heard rumors that many burly and bearded men frequent the place. We were intrigued.

Rumors confirmed.

Rumors confirmed.

Clearly, beers were in order. I made the best decision and got the five-beer-sampler.

Beer heaven.

I liked Natural Blonde the most :) It tasted like summer!

Amy, Liz and I also decided to split a cup of Smoked Salmon Chowder: house-smoked wild caught salmon, onions, celery, butter, capers, cream and potatoes. It was thick and creamy with huge pieces of salmon in it. Mm mm good.

For the main dish, I got the organic grilled turkey burger with greens as a side with lime-ginger dressing.

I ate it all! :) No shame, no shame.

Then we moved on to The Harp, the awesome Irish bar next to our house that is throwing a St. Patrick’s Day party this Sunday which begins in the afternoon and I hate being late…

I got a delish light beer. Oh, it was also Guinness tasting night, so we got free samples. You never turn down free booze at The Harp.

Lovely day for a Guinness

We left at a pretty late hour…I may or may not have signed a petition to make St. Patrick’s Day a national, official holiday. I also may or may not have decided to “jog” home and only realize that I don’t have the keys when I got there before my roommates did…

Anyway, this morning, fantastic brunch of berry oats topped with pecan chocolate oatmeal muffin crumbles.

1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, ~1 cup frozen berries, 2 TBS lf vanilla yogurt, fake PB & muffin crumbles

I did mad laundry and frolicked outside because it was like 50 degrees today and it was boootiful. Then I got hungry and made a snack:

Few TBS of lf vanilla yogurt, chopped apple, cinn & an orange

I got on the treadmill and did only 2 miles. My legs were sort of not feeling it after yesterday. I did some arm strength stuff too. Then came dinner time, which was a random mix of stuff that turned out to be magically delicious.

pasta-less pasta.

I sauteed red cabbage, brocolli, spinach and some veggies from a frozen mix with TJ’s Sweet Apple chicken sausage in 1 TBS of Smart Balance Light. Then I layered the mix in a bowl with 1/2 cup of pasta sauce and melted some reduced fat Mexican Cheese and parm on top of the whole shabang. Delicious!

For dessert, I wanted some crunch:

100 cal kettle corn

I might be M.I.A. for a few days since I have a special visitor coming ;) I’ll see if I can sneak in a post somewhere. But I’m still reading!

And my question for you is this: What’s your favorite song right now? I feel like my grandmother’s more in touch with the current hits than I am…

And now I must run and get ready because yes, we’re going out tonight, again. Because…it’s…SPRING BREAK…WOOOOO!

My Life Would Suck Without You.

That applies to your song question and you being MIA. I’ll survive, somehow.

Drunken/otherwise induced runs are fabulous.
