whirlwind weekend

Wow. This is gonna be one crazy weekend, I can tell already.
1) AM coffee was not 1, not 2, but 3 cups! Whoa…slow start much?
2) AM work out was INTENSE. Not sure why, since my elliptical routine was the random setting which kept me at alternating levels between 8 and 12
3) This tropical storm shit sucks

I rescind my previous title of the weekend. It will no longer be a whirlwind weekend, it will now be a shitty rainy crappy weekend. Our US tennis men’s final tickets will no longer be good, since the tropical storm has caused the semifinal matches to be cancelled. So now we our tickets are for a Monday reschedule which I cant attend since I have work, which f-ing blows! I’m BEYOND mad now. What a horrible start to the weekend.

Ok, so moving on. We sold the tickets and life has actually continued, despite my previous rant.

Check out that lunch. I made the eggs in the microwave, which I never even considered, but has been all over the blog world. I think this was the easiest thing ever. Eggs in the microwave? Who knew! I had I think maybe 2 or 3 slices of bread with it, but I cant really remember. I was really trying to eat very little since I was going to dinner with Jess and Kyle that night. I had some of these later on as a snack though, too.

For dinner we went to a restaurant in the West Village called Extra Virgin. It was great. I got the mahi mahi with a gazpacho crust and grilled eggplant and hummus (yeah, I caved and got fish, I am such a bad vegetarian). It came with a weird sauce that I got on the side because it had almonds (I know I am trying to get into the nut thing but I am not ready to make the full conversion). After dinner we went to the Dove Parlor bar nearby for Natalie’s birthday. Problems ensued right after that for Jess in Kyle, so for all intents and purposes we will say the night ended then. I didn’t even drunk eat. I had a few cocktails throughout the night, though. I had a glass and a half of wine at Jess’ apt, then a bellini at the restaurant, as well as another glass of wine. Then I had a lavender something or other cocktail at the bar. All in all, a kinda lush night. Detox tomorrow…

Day 2 of the weekend started by sleeping in, which was a nice relief. I had coffee and dates for breakfast – and I continued to enjoy them EVEN THOUGH Kyle headed out to sell our tickets for the US Open men’s finals. Sad. Now I really hope Nadal doesn’t make it to the finals. AND I hope that Federer wins in straight sets in the most boring and short finals ever. I mean, if I am going to have to miss it, I would way rather it not be record making or exciting. The fact that we are getting our money back isn’t even a small consolation. So after breakfast I went to the gym, and had a mediocre work out. Whatever. Notice how the photo only shows 2 dates…I ate them all before taking the pics! (I hid most of the pits to make me look like I have moderation)

For lunch I had ff vanilla Greek yogurt (Chobani) with strawberries, fake sugar, and cinnamon. It was veryyy good. So sweet and cinnamon-y and creamy delicious.

I also snacked on an apple, propel water, a Snapple and yogurt covered raisins…

I couldn’t even think of what I wanted for dinner. I was kinda in the mood for something light, but also healthy, like veggies, but not a salad. I chose to buy a tub of hummus (what can I say, my dinner at extra virgin wet my appetite for it the night before). Now I think I can add it to my list of recent obsessions. I also had a Gary Null’s veggie burger.

Yum yum dinner. I had Ezekiel bread with it and some veggies, but the hummus was just what I wanted and dinner hit the spot! I think I had edamame for dessert, too.
