Hey!
Don’t ya hate it when the weatherman lies?!
So, originally when I woke up this morning I looked online at the weather and it said it was going to pour all day. This was after I had planned my bike ride and after I blogged. So, I cancelled said bike ride, ran errands and when I came back it still hadn’t started to rain but I decided to play it safe and RUN instead. Ran 2 miles outside, ate some yogurt + kiwi:
And then it looked like it might start raining again so I met up with Anna and Lisa from the studio for a bootcamp style workout. At this point the sun was actually starting to shine and we went outside for 40 minutes and did a fast paced workout consisting of lunges, lunges and MORE lunges….jumping squats, side lunges, dips, reverse push-ups, regular push-ups, crunches and step ups. I think the surrounding businesses must have thought the three of us were crazy, doing lunges up and down the hill over and over in front of the studio but hey, who needs a gym when you have sneakers and two friends that are personal trainers?! At least we will have strong legs. 
After working out, I met one of my friends for lunch at my favorite place ever–East West! This restaurant is sooo jenna-friendly; I love it. Usually I order the hummus or falafel but after all that exercise I decided I needed some protein so I got the salmon wrap with a side of fruit.
This was SO good! The wheat wrap had salmon, hummus and tabbouli in it and was deliciously messy.
Snack this afternoon was a half serving of Ezekiel cereal with blackberries and almond milk—-
And then tonight I grabbed sushi with a friend for dinner. Seaweed salad!
We shared this interesting baked roll (lion king roll?!) and I have no idea what was in it….and also the spicy tuna roll topped with MORE seaweed salad (my favorite!)
Had a piece of chocolate for dessert
I’m sort of on a green tea buzz right now since our server kept refilling my cup! Going to take a bath with my new bubble bath and READ……starting As I Lay Dying by Faulkner…read The Last Song (nicholas sparks) all on the plane yesterday. Ridiculously cheesy and predictable but enthralling none the less.
Goodnight!

Yes I hate when I try to plan my workout around the weather, and then the weather man lies! Oh well, sounds like you got in a kick butt workout anyway.
East West sounds phenom
I actually love “As I Lay Dying”. It’s very dark, but so enthralling. I think you’ll find it to be a very interesting read!
I always feel like Nicholas Sparks books are ridiculously cheesy and predictable, but for some reason I just keep on reading them…
Love seaweed salad ALL the time. Delicious.
Our meteorologists have all been very right this week – lots of snow! It looks like you are having lovely weather, but the unpredictableness must have been frustrating. I think it’s awesome that you made the best of it with the activities you did in place of your bike ride – that rocks!
I read that book for English in college. I actually enjoyed it!
What a great workout! Go you!!!
I looooove As I Lay Dying…the expatriates of the 20s are some of my fav writers ever so I adore Faulkner, Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Pound, Stein, etc…I hope you love it, too!
I love that workout! I’m sure anyone that would even think to poke fun would be jealous that they weren’t participating.
Can I just say that all of your eats for the day look amazing? Especially the sushi and the salmon wrap … yum!

That wrap looks AMAZING! Also, it reminded me that tabbouli exists! YUM!
Oooh love the sushi!! Sounds like a great workout too – I think the worst is expecting snow and then getting rain instead… boo to that!
Funny story — When I first moved to FL I was desperately seeking friends so I started a book club online and our first book was As I Lay Dying. We decided to meet in person at a restaurant to discuss the book and I came prepared with my notes and questions, etc. I was so excited to meet the other ladies in the group. Well, EVERYBODY STOOD ME UP! Once home I sent a group email saying something to the effect of “Forget you know me!” So I have no good memories associated with As I Lay Dying. =) But the good news is, I quickly found an already established book club and here I am 5 years later and the book club girls are my Florida BFFs. Hope you like the book more than I did!
East West sounds amazing! That wrap is a killer combo. Salmon, hummus and tabbouli? Yum! The sushi looks awesome, as well. I love seaweed salad!
Glad you had a great day of eats with friends!!
I’m tired of this rain too! And where did this cold come from, the past two days the temperature has dipped and taken me by surprise!
Your salmon wrap looks so delicious, that’s definitely something I would select from a menu.
May do a spur of the moment overnight stay in Sonoma this weekend with some wine tasting. We might stop by your winery!
gosh the salmon wrap looks delicious! glad you are home-safe and sound. enjoy your ride today!
