Sunday Yumday

Winter decided to tease us this weekend - temps broke 60 both Saturday and Sunday, and it made me way too excited for Spring to officially get here.

Friday night myself, the boy and few friends made our way down the Fillmore in Silver Spring to check out a country concert. It turned out to be an entirely acoustic set with Joe Nichols, Chase Rice, Thompson Square, Craig Campbell and Eric Paslay and I think we would all agree it was a pretty stellar performance.

good times!

In other new, has anyone tried this coffee?

It's one of my new favorites.

Food prep has (nerdishly) become on of my favorite parts of Sunday. On top of my favorite crockpot sweet potato casserole, I also made my own healthy fruit snacks, and a spaghetti squash egg fritata bake for the week.

breakfast this week? yes please.

Dinner tonight was pizza from a local Baltimore restaurant, Verde. My pizza happened to be gluten-free, and we enjoyed it with some wine up on the deck before the sun went down and temps started dipping back down to cold.

YUM

I feel good about this week. Last week of February - March is on Saturday, can you believe it?? Let's make it great.

Cheers -

Blah.

If I had to pick a word to describe the weekend, I would probably sum it up with 'blah.'

Not that the weekend itself sucked... I was just feeling very blah. And honestly I can't lay my finger on why. 

Saturday morning started off with a breakfast burrito on the patio of Qdoba. (they have whole wheat tortillas now - woot woot!) The weekend as a whole provided BEAUTIFUL weather and Andrew and I took the morning to indulge in a delicious breakfast while soaking up the sun. Following breakfast was my first bike ride of 2012 now that I have my bike back! I was pretty stoked to say the least. My butt wasn't quite as happy come Sunday.

Sunday we went to church, followed by… not much. I ran, did some grocery shopping and caught some rays. I’ve fallen into a funk of getting sad on Sunday evenings. It may be the end of weekends... I’m not really sure, but it’s a trend Andrew has picked up on. Which is why he provided me with a little treat when I stopped by his house last night to watch the Heat vs. Celtics game with him. (For the record, Celtics all the way.)

I'm a child.

In other news, I have slowly been reading through the book “Drop Dead Healthy” by A.J. Jacobs. In short, it’s about a pretty unhealthy dude who decides he wants to become the healthiest guy… ever. In the process he researches just about every health/fitness trend out there, from the different diets (Atkins, Paleo) to a variety of workouts, to things you normally wouldn’t think of (wearing noise cancelling headphones, peeing while squatting vs. sitting, etc.)

All in all, it’s hilarious. But it’s also incredibly informative, as his entire quest to become healthy is backed by research and professionals within their specific fields. I’m about 2/3 of the way through, and hope to finish it this coming weekend. If you have any interest in this topic, it’s a very light read, and an entertaining way to learn.

Anyways, I plan on taking this week from blah to brilliant, because blah is a very boring place to be. Any suggestions?
