Sharing a full fay of eats from begin to end.

Hello pals! How are you? I hope you had a beautiful Valentine’s Day, whether or not you have been celebrating along with your love, your Galentines, your kiddos, or your pet 🙂 For right this moment’s submit, I assumed I’d share an old-school day of eats and adventures just like the weblog days of yore. Please remember the fact that What I Ate Wednesday posts are simply to share some new concepts and I completely perceive why they are often problematic or not a match for sure pals on the market. If it’s not your cup of tea, no worries in any respect, and I’ll see ya tomorrow with a brand new podcast episode!

Within the meantime, join Spring Form Up right here and begin trying out the platform! We have now over 200 pals signed up thus far and I can’t wait to do that with all of you.

The women awoke early and had their Valentine’s baskets ready for them.

(Sweet, beanie boos, a cute coronary heart sweater, a e book, some tub bombs and lip gloss. They have been pumped!)

When the women have been a lot youthful and I noticed reward baskets for each.single.vacation, it made me really feel careworn. I used to be simply making an attempt to maintain them alive, clear, fed, and blissful, so issues like Halloween baskets or Valentine’s baskets appeared unfathomable to place collectively. As a substitute, I simply tried to do different issues to have fun, like hearts on their door with issues that I like about them. I nonetheless do that one right this moment and the women adore it – they preserve the hearts up all yr.

Now that they’re a bit older and may, you understand, costume themselves, bathe themselves, and so on., it’s a lot simpler to do enjoyable little additional issues once I really feel prefer it.

I chugged some AG1 earlier than heading out the door and ate a few eggs with sriracha and EBTB seasoning.

(Confession: I’ve solely tried AG1 a few instances previously and didn’t just like the style. The model requested me if I wished some to check out, so I figured I’d give it an actual attempt to presumably share with household and pals. Seems: I find it irresistible. I even began craving the style within the morning after ingesting it constantly. I like all the vitamins and I really feel nice after a few weeks of ingesting it every morning on an empty abdomen. They supplied a reduction code to share, so I’ll submit it as quickly as I’ve it!)

I dropped the women off at college with their Valentine’s bins and goodies for his or her pals, and went straight to the Pilot’s squadron.

On the way in which, I picked up just a few dozen Valentines donuts to depart on the bar for everybody to get pleasure from, together with playing cards and roses for his or her family members.

After I dropped off the products, I headed someplace I by no means go anymore: the bottom gymnasium!

I LOVE understanding on base. They’ve all the things I might ever need, all the enjoyable practical tools, and the vibe at all times challenges me to work exhausting. The bummer is that it’s a stable half-hour from our home (40 in visitors), so it’s not sensible to go through the week. Since I used to be already on base, I figured it was the right time for a exercise subject journey and received in an superior whole physique exercise.

Breakfast was ready for me within the automotive:

1/2 cup oats

Almond milk

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Cinnamon

Blueberries

Peanut butter

It set within the fridge in a single day so the oats have been tender, and it was the right post-workout gasoline.

I headed straight house to get to work for a few hours (answered emails, recorded a podcast episode, and designed the exercises for subsequent month’s Match Workforce) after which took Maisey on a stroll.

Lunch was leftover Tremendous Bowl chili, a chunk of sourdough with butter, and a easy chopped salad with Poshi asparagus and Primal Kitchen dressing.

I received again to work (studied IHP, 1 1:1 consumer name, labored on my Friday Faves weblog submit, despatched some invoices), took a meditation/prayer break on my Go Mat (10 minutes)

after which had a lil afternoon deal with:

a decaf espresso with almond milk, collagen, and a See’s coronary heart truffle.

Rapidly, I blitzed via the home (ran a loud of laundry, wiped counter tops, vacuumed, and switched out the dishes) and headed to a gathering at church. After the assembly, I picked up the crew, who had tons of valentines and goodies from college!

We headed house the place they’d after-school snacks, and we dropped Liv at dance with extra Valentines to change. P and I labored on her homework at house and received prepared for just a little household date evening at Fleming’s.

Fleming’s is among the eating places in Tucson that’s constantly very superb. All of us love their meals, so I figured it will be the right Valentine’s dinner.

My lil Valentines:

As at all times, all the things was unbelievable.

We began with the salad (the Pilot and I cut up one), a shrimp cocktail, and P had the cheese plate from the youngsters’ menu. Liv and the Pilot additionally received cups of lobster bisque – I attempted a style and it was aaaaamazing. For our entrees, all of us received filets, and shared asparagus, onion rings, and Fleming’s potatoes (cheese and frivolously spicy). The Pilot stopped consuming desserts again in October so I shared this chocolate lava cake with Liv (P had ice cream and whipped cream). I had some sauvignon blanc and a Valentine’s cocktail that had gin, strawberry and lemon.

After we received house, I’d like to say I crashed into mattress in a wine and steak induced slumber, however…not fairly. I folded and put away a load of laundry, set out the women’ garments for Wednesday, the Pilot completed homework with the women whereas I packed lunches,
