Hello dear friends! I slept iiiiinnnnnn this morning. And it. felt. fabulous. Usually I feel guilty about doing that but the roads are still bad and my car is a solid block of ice so I figured there was nothing wrong with staying in bed until noon 
Yesterday after I posted I did yoga and then forced myself to work until 5 p.m. It was hard to concentrate, but I managed to do it. I’ll probably do a little more work this weekend since I don’t have anything else to do.
Lunch yesterday was a Spicy Fake Buffalo Chik’n Salad. Seriously one of my favorite meals of all time.
Later on I had a protein shake with the other half of the Myoplex Lite packet that Lisa gave me, half a frozen banana, a cup of almond milk and two cups spinach.
After I finished up work I did 45 minutes on the elliptical and an at-home upper body workout. It wasn’t the best, but I felt the burn.
My brother and sister-in-law wanted to get out of the house for dinner so they came and picked me up and we went to Carino’s – one of the only places open around my apartment. I got the Eggplant Parmesan and it was fried and tasty. I also had some bread dipped in balsamic vinegar, a house salad with balsamic vinegar and two glasses of Chianti. Definitely not a meal in which I practiced moderation
I went to bed pretty early for a Friday due to the wine consumption and the lack of things to do and didn’t wake up this morning until 11:30! Talk about a good night’s sleep!
Since I slept through breakfast I decided to just move right along to lunch, which was leftover from last night. Not my leftovers though.
My SIL ordered the spinach and artichoke pasta last night and I took three of the stuffed pastas home with me for lunch today. Clearly, I have no shame when it comes to obtaining free food, haha. I had the pastas with a simple salad dressed in balsamic vinegar and topped with some shredded asiago cheese and red onions. Scrumptious.
I’ve declared today a movie watching day. I’m watching The Omen right now and it’s straight up freaking me out! After it ends I’m going to watch 500 Days of Summer on the elliptical.
Have a good Saturday kiddos!
Your salad from yesterday look freakin amazing. Totally my type of meal too
Enjoy your movie day. I love days of relaxing and watching a bunch of movies. And hey, if you can exercise while watching a movie, even better. Enjoy your Saturday!
500 Days of Summer has one of the best musical dance sequences of all time– you’ll know what I’m talking about when you get there- it makes the entire movie
You are lucky you can watch a movie while you work out – I wish I had a treadmill or elliptical at home!
we just got 500 Days from Netflix! I think we might watch it tonight
I love days like that!! I also love leftovers and have zero shame when it comes to taking them from others who will not utilize them like I will.
Love 500 days of summer, too…there is a dance scene in there that makes ME want to jump up and down it’s so ridiculously vibrant and hilarious.
OMG! So weird, we JUST finished watching that On Demand!!!!! It was very cute. The guy is really hot!!
I just rented 500 Days of Summer too!!! After dinner I’m set to watch it; let me know what you think!
Your food looks so good today! I love that fake buffalo chicken salad.
I can’t wait to see 500 Days of Summer. It’s on my Netflix queue right now.
Your salad looks tasty!
I love sleeping in when the weather outside is nasty because I don’t feel like I missed anything!

Bah, sometimes we need to throw moderation out the window
That dinner sounds fabulous! I just found out we have a version of Netflix in Canada – I need to jump on that bandwagon!
Ah, sounds like a glorious and relaxing weekend. Enjoy it my dear and please still be careful in the nasty weather! xoxo
Good for you for sleeping in! Love when my body lets me do that
Yesterday was not one of those days unfortunately.
Gotta love movie watching days. Even better when they’re being watched on the elliptical!
I’ve been wanting to see 500 days of summer – heard it’s a good one. Let us all know what you think of it. BTW – movies are great to watch while on the treadmill – makes the time fly by.
500 days of summer would be fun to watch while working out – since it’s so fast paced and music-centric….
yum! that salad looks awesome!!
can’t wait to hear what you think of the movies!
500 days of Summer broke my heart…….
Sometimes any workout is better than nothing girl!
