With some lovely lovely ladies!

But first..my Friday! It’s been the LONGEST week ever! I don’t know why but it seems the same for many of my friends. Friday could not come soon enough! I started my morning in a wonderful, wonderful way! I like things in twos today don’t I?

Mmm..I LOVE THIS! I’m actually not the biggest blueberry fan. I like them a lot but they aren’t first choice. For some reason I was craving it Friday morning! I put it on top of a Fitnessista Breakfast Cookie that was made with the following:

• About 1/2 cup of oats
• Splash of skim milk
• Banana
• Tablespoon of almond butter
• Flax
• A packet of Sun Crystals
• 1/2 scoop of chocolate protein powder
• Cinnamon
• Pumpkin pie spice

I put it in the fridge with some frozen strawberries so they would defrost. The next morning I put it all together:

So unbelievably yummy and filling! This is a new favorite!

It was my friend Hayley’s birthday so a bunch of us headed to Kata in Winter Park for some yummy food! It’s a Thai/Sushi restaurant and I was excited for some Thai food! I dressed up for the occasion..after I long week I just wanted to feel cute and comfortable…and warm!

Everyday I go into school I don’t really do my makeup, I just try and look professional and decent so at the end of the week it’s nice to feel comfortable! You know what I mean? Also after a long week of dealing with chatty first graders you apparently want to fight someone..

(P.S. check out my shoe in the air..that dark spot? That’s how high my arches are!)

Once there I ordered the Panang curry as mild as they could make it(still super spicy which I expected) I like spicy food a lot just not so spicy I can’t taste my food! It came with a small salad and miso soup (I also snacked on a small amount of edamame):

Panang Curry with tofu poured on top of rice:

Yumm and spicy! I needed more rice at one point to help out with the spicyness!

While driving home I had some halloween candy too! Only a couple pieces..very needed and worth it!

Once home I passed out. I had every intention of blogging but after a week like this, I could have fallen asleep at 7 EASY! So by 11 I was absolutely done for the day!

This morning I woke up(after a delicious 9 hours of sleep)  and sipped on some awake tea before lacing up and heading to the gym. I ran two miles in 26:30 after not running for a few weeks. I took it easy today to ease back into it. I’m not a fast/long distance runner. I’m a beginner..working on building up my endurance. I can log those 2 miles for the POTM Challenge! YAY!

After running I had a yummy Arnold’s whole wheat sandwich thin with almond butter and honey:

Yummy! I ate light this morning because I was headed to lunch with some awesome friends/bloggers!

Lindsey, my wonderful friend and talented writer of Sound Eats was in town. We met up with Megan, Ryan, and Ashley as well at Infusion Tea! If you read a lot of blogs you probably have heard about this place. The food and tea are both incredible! I am hooked. I ordered a half roasted pear salad and half a bowl of their pumpkin soup:

Mmmm..SO yummy!

My salad had roasted pears, a balsamic reduction, a pecan crisp, blue cheese on top of organic field greens. Yeah..I know! I am ordering a whole one next time..for sure!

The pumpkin soup was so yummy and comforting, I felt like I could take a nap after sipping on it. It was served so cute in it’s little mug..

Yumm!

Lindsey was so sweet, she made us vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!!!

Sorry for the blurry picture but I think it’s funny to see Ryan taking pictures in the background..(;

I ate one right away..

SO GOOD! I am bringing these with me tonight to work..

When I got home, before Adam left we finished our cupcakes since they may not make it until tomorrow night(we’re working tonight) so we broke in..yummy treat. I am loving sweets today!

It was such a great afternoon chatting, eating, and learning. I felt like I learned a lot, I just sat there and listened most of the time because I was so interested in learning more about the blogging world. I am really thankful to have friends nearby with similiar interests! It was a fun afternoon.

Now I am off to work from 6-2AM decorating a mall for Christmas! Yep..my father-in-law has been doing this for a really long time. I helped last year and I am off to help again! It’s going to be a long night but Adam and I will make plenty of money to spend on Christmas gifts..and some to save too! I will take pictures as the night goes on. I’m off to pack healthy snacks!

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! See you tomorrow!
