Amazing Weekend

I guess I have to admit something. I am not a weekend blogger. I seem to only blog on the weekdays when I am in front of a computer and on a break from work. For now, that will have to do but eventually I would love to get a better laptop so that I can do it on the weekends from home.

Speaking of weekends......

Friday:
My Friday night was eventful for a few reasons. First, the hubby and I had California Chicken Cafe which has one of my favorite salads. I always get the Chinese Chicken Salad which has romaine, chicken, carrots, almonds, pasta, green onion and dressing. It's delish! The hubby got white meat chicken with rice and ww pita. I love how he makes his own wraps with the rice and chicken and a great BBQ sauce and of course hot sauce. (The hubby has to spice everything up!)

After Dinner, we headed to Target to pick up some things for the hubby's fishing trip. He needed a cooler, Dramamine and some snacks. We got what we needed and headed home because we had to get ready for our friend's engagement party at a lounge in Hollywood. We wanted to get there early so that we could spend enough time with everyone before we had to leave. The hubby had a long drive to Orange County at 1:30am. Fisherman! They seriously love what they do because they had to be at the boat at 3AM!! I am not sure there are many things besides sleeping that I would want to be doing at 3AM! Anyways, the party was fun and we got to catch up with friends. The hubby took off after dropping me at home and I was able to relax and watch TV before calling it a night.

Saturday:
Saturday mornings are my long run days and this Saturday did not disappoint. I woke up feeling good and ready for a run. Last Saturday I was able to do 8 miles so for this run I wanted to do a little more. I wasn't sure exactly how much I would be able to do though because I had struggled on some of my weekday runs. It started out okay but I wasn't quite feeling good until about mile 4. That is when I felt great and knew I was going to be able to do the 8 miles and then some. I was able to complete 9 miles and probably could have done more but had a scheduled pedicure with a friend to get to so I was happy with that distance and how I felt. I was drenched, but it was totally worth it. I ate yogurt, berries and flax seed after showering and took a PB&J with me because I knew I would be hungry while driving.

The pedicure was delightful! I cannot say enough about it. I love the massage they give and I finally have real feet again. From all the working out and wearing heels, I have terrible feet but they are back to normal now and I am feeling good! I love pedicures! Afterwards we needed a pick me up and stopped for caffeine at where else? Coffee Bean, of course! I had a Iced N/F No Sugar Added Carmel Latte. It was everything I was hoping for and more! We caught up and had a few laughs which was nice.

Dinner was Indian food which is something I rarely get because the hubby doesn't like it. Oh how I love it! I had to take advantage of him being gone in order to get my Indian food craving satisfied. I had chicken masala curry with rice and it was delish! The mango lassie was everything I had been hoping for. It was a perfect evening. (minus my better half, of course). I went home and the hubby was back with Yellowtail that he caught! It was massive! He was so tired so he crashed right away but read my book before finally falling asleep.

Sunday:
Sunday was an AMAZING day. I finally got out the blender and had my first Amazing Grass Chocolate Green Superfood Smoothie. Wow that is a long name! It was delish!

AG Smoothie:
~ 1 Packet Amazing Grass Chocolate Green SuperFood
~ 1/2 Frozen banana
~ 1 TBSP PB
~ 1/4 cup soy milk
~ 1/4 cup water
~ ice cubes

I love this and so did the hubby! It was a success so thank you Amazing Grass!

The hubby had to go get golf clubs so I was off to Whole Foods for a much needed shopping trip. I had to get meals for the week. Oh and of course more Amazing Grass. It was a very successful trip, but when is it not? I love so much there that I basically could go broke if I spent too much time and didn't go with a list. I always get way more than I need, but that is part of the fun isn't it?

Lunch was a hummus wrap and white nectarine.

It was Sunday Soccer so the hubby and I went early so that he could hit some golf balls with his new clubs. I am still trying to learn and so I really am bad. It's quite frustrating to see him do it so easily, but it motivates me too. I really want to go on some golf trips with him so I am trying to get a decent swing. (Very Very Hard to do!) I munched on a PB and Banana sandwich before the game so I wasn't completely starving. Soccer was a success (we won 5-0) and we ended up eating Vietnamese food with a friend afterwards.

I was beat when I got home so I did laundry while watching Entourage and Big Brother. What a weekend!
