Hi friends! Happy Thursday.
I didn’t get to bed until around 11:30 on Tuesday night (so late for me 😉 ) so I decided to sleep in a little yesterday morning instead of do a morning gym sesh. So I woke up and headed straight to the office.
I picked up a Dunks iced coffee with one pump of pumpkin syrup on my way in.
And had flax oatmeal with lots of strawberries mixed in for brekkie!
After my two morning meetings I took a gym break. I did an hour on the ArcTrainer while listening to Kaitlyn Bristowe’s “Off the Vine” podcast. So. Funny.
I showered at the gym, then got back to work. For lunch I had a big salad with a lettuce mix, baby carrots, a super ripe tomato, some avocado, and a light balsamic vinaigrette. I also had a Fage Greek yogurt for some protein.
At 4:00 I went to my company’s yoga class! It was super fast-paced today and it was fun to flow alongside my new team member 🙂 . After class I snacked on a Vanilla Almond Crunch Questie.
And then I walked home. It was my FAVORITE weather in Boston last night – overcast and high 50’s.
I also made a stop at the library to pick up my new book club book! When I got home, I sipped on half a Gingerade booch.
And made a very comforting zucchini pasta for dins! It was so quick and simple, and exactly what I was craving; whole grain penne, steamed mini zucchinis, and a little vegan butter and parmesan!
Then Frankie and I caught up on “This is Us” while drinking pumpkin beer and snacking on some Halo Top. Not much else going on over here – it was a quiet hump day. Hope you guys have been having a great week – almost to the weekend!!
What is your absolute favorite weather??
Pizza or pasta?

Ah, that reminds me — I need to get caught up on this week’s episode of This Is Us!

That pasta looks delicious! I’m jealous of your nice fall weather! We have about 2 days of typical October weather and then it’ll be back in the 80s on Sunday 😦
Pizza or pasta is SO hard to chose from!

I love rainy Fall days so I can sit and read or knit by the fire and not feel guilty and I always feel so proud of having run in that weather!

Lol I should have specified I like those days when I can stay home and knit and read. Today it’s pouring and I’m dealing with twenty jackets, twenty zippers, forty boots and twenty children who smell almost as bad as wet dogs after playing in the rain! lol
