Sorry it's been so long! The weather has just been so darn nice! To those that celebrate Easter, did you have a nice one? Easter brunch is the best :-)
My weekend can pretty much be split up into 4 genres: Friends, food, fitness, and...SUN!
I. FRIENDS
^Mexican and margaritas (DCers, you MUST try this place! So healthy/fresh and outta this world fish tacos!)
^Skinny margarita (tequila, splash triple sec, juice from 5-6 lime wedges)
^Roof deck barsII. FOOD
^DELIVERY (yes, one of the best inventions yet) Sushi! (Salmon sashimi and salmon and avocado roll)
^Edamame and miso soup
^ Salad monster (Romaine, tomato, cucumber, avocado, organic chicken, strawberries, grapes, sunflower seeds, TJ's Goddess Dressing.
^Another salad monster (Romaine, tomatoes, egg whites, carrots, crasins, TJ's red pepper hummus (hummus as salad dressing is SO GOOD! Thank you, Kailey!), nutritional yeast, and Mary's crack.
^Scrambled egg whites/spinach on top of Ezekiel bread
^I CAVED!!! I used to be obsessed with these! Is it healthy? Heck no. Was it delicious? Um...YES. Do I feel guilty? Not at all, I believe in treating myself once in a while.
^Chia oats (oats, chia, nanner, Cinnamon Raisin swirl PB, stevia, vanilla SunWarrior protein, raisins, dash sea salt = current fav combo)
^Chia pudding (chia, h20, unsweetened cacao, agave, dash sea salt. Chilled to "gel" then warmed and topped with vanilla fro-yo). SO GOOD!!!
^Diced Honeycrisp apple with Kashi puffs, Kashi Go Lean, cinnamon, and almond milk
^Quinoa, organic chicken (marinated in soy sauce, balsamic, garlic, and worcheshire), egg whites, peas, corn, green beans, spinach. This is the MANFRIEND's recipe! :-)
^Kale chips (Rubbed in pineapple/mango salsa, red chili powder, cumin, pepper, sea salt) Tip: Go light on the spices. A little goes a long way!)
^Baked then broiled sweet potato topped with WF's Mahi Mahi burger, avocado, kale chips, pineapple/mango salsa. Pretty darn good!! ;-)III. FITNESS
^Running at night in SHORTS!
^View on bridge looking over Potomac River at Kennedy Center (R) and Washington Monument (center)IV. SUN

^Sorry if my Casper legs are blinding you! ha

QUESTION: What's the first thing you want to do when it's fiiiiinally warm out?? For me, it's reading a good book in the sun 8-)
xx,
Lauren
Oh it looks like an AMAZING weekend!!! I'm about all the F's too!
ReplyDeleteSo, skinny marg, I know you've given me the link for that before, but now I finally can use it. Warm weather = margs!
Diet Mountain Dew is stooopid delicious. How is that?! My brother tries to make me feel better about drinking that than coke zero by saying, "at least it's not brown and staining your teeth." I like.
OMG your email cracked me UP today!!! You are so sweet, thank you.
Hope you have a fantastic week! xoxox
Ummm so first of all, SO FREAKING jealous of the delivery sushi!!! One of the perks of living in a city I guess! We have delivery pizza. That's it. If we had delivery sushi, well I think you know what 50% of my diet would consist of... hehe
ReplyDeleteThe quinoa dish looks the BOMB!!! Your manfriend is one special man!!!
So glad you were able to enjoy the weather, it is gorgeous!!!!
Love ya! Have a great week!
Reading a book in the sun sounds thrilling to me too. And going to the lake, being out on the boat. We don't have a boat, but our friends do. I sure hope we will get the chance to go out since they just had a baby.
ReplyDeleteWe like to take the dogs for a swim when it gets warm out!
ReplyDeleteAll your healthy food always looks so delicious! The pics make me hungry at work! haha
I was so excited to run in shorts recently too!! I love being able to enjoy walking outside and not merely hurry to my destination as quickly as possible. Coke Zero is my treat, so no worries on the Diet Mtn Dew!! Hope you have a great Tuesday!

ReplyDeleteOk after seeing all of your food photos now I am hungry
It's sunny here in LA, but SO windy! I hate it! >.<
ReplyDeleteMy friend, who goes to GWU, runs along Potomac River, too! Not sure if she still runs...ever since she got her internship, she has been mad busy.
I don't live IN DC...I live in NoVA, actually! In a little town called Vienna, about 20-40 mins drive away from your area! :-)
Im spoiled here in CA, so its usually pretty warm most days :) But I love going to the beach or walk my doggies if I'm at my parents house! I loooove all your eats! That egg scramble w/ the spinach looks bomb! And yes, its my first marathon :) Kinda nervous about it considering I can only run like 2 miles right now haha! But thanks for the support girl! And I'd love to be your stylist!!
ReplyDeleteWanna trade weekends?! lol it looks like you had a good time :D
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the diet coke- no one's perfect and treats are definitely warranted!
I might of indulged in a Diet Dr. Pepper for a "treat" tonight - everything in moderation right?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great Easter weekend! Sister QT is the best:)
When its warm, I like to go for runs outside at night and take yoga classes in the park! These are the things that make me love sunshine...that and the way it naturally lifts my mood.
ReplyDeleteYour food looks good and so creative!
So much awesomeness in this post - looks like an awesome weekend :) I love running outside in the sun in SHORTS and swimming at the beach!
