Not In Florida Anymore…

Hellooo!

All day long I’ve told myself I’m going to be productive but it really hasn’t happened….yet. I have managed to work out, pay my bills, eat and write emails. But yeah. I was hoping for a little more. It might be a long night and early morning!

Here’s what I did at the gym!

5 minutes on the elliptical to warm up

3 sets of chest press with dumbbells, 15 lbs, 12 reps each set

3 sets of tricep extensions, 15 lbs, 12 reps each set

3 sets of “21′s” with 20 lb EZbar

3 sets of shoulder press, 10 lbs, 12 reps each set

2 sets of lat raises, 5 lbs, 15 reps each set

3 sets of laying down tricep extensions with 20 lb EZbar

3 sets of lat pulldowns, 55 lbs, 12 reps each set

= 25 minute workout

My mind was wandering though the whole time and I didn’t break a sweat so I’m guessing I really didn’t work out that hard even though it looks like I did a lot. I tried to sign up for spinning class tomorrow but it was already full! bah!

Anyways, I ate this pear after the gym—

And then met a friend for lunch at a really random, yet super cool find, Chloe’s Cafe in Santa Rosa! It was really good and interesting because it was actually in a hospital center. I would never have found this on my own!

I had a cup of butternut squash bisque and half of the Mediterranean sandwich with feta, artichokes and black olives—

It was good but very messy. I ate all the soup and probably half of the sandwich…before it all fell apart.

Snack was an apple with some raw goat cheddar + 2 pieces of freshly roasted kabocha squash (I’m obsessed):

And then dinner was the Indian lentil soup made by the San Francisco Soup Co (found it at my local grocery store) and MORE squash….I might be turning orange soon but don’t worry about that…..

The soup was just okay. Not my favorite and I wouldn’t buy it again. I like lentil soup but I think I like split pea soup SO much better because it’s so much richer and thicker. Tonight is apparently the coldest night of the year with record lows so I thought soup would be appropriate…as would a fireplace if I had one. I guess I’ll have to settle for sitting next to the heater with Dexter since its his favorite spot in the house.

Speaking of the coldest night of the year, I’m probably the only maniac out there that actually went to get frozen yogurt. Buuuuut it was totally necessary.

This would be reeses yogurt with butterfinger and chocolate chips. I’ve eaten a lot of orange things today!!

So, ahem, ahem….

TOMORROW I am going to Chez Panisse!!!!!! I may or may not have emotionally/impulsively bought a new dress at Anthropologie yesterday (oopsies) but I think it’s going to be too cold to wear it now…..darn. I keep forgetting that I’m not in Florida anymore. I’m totally excited though but bummed because apparently Alice is going to be out of town. Oh well, I guess that just means I’ll have to back!

After filling my belly with frozen yogurt I now need to thaw out with a hot shower and tea. And then WRITE!!
