Five Things Friday

May 24, 2013Uncategorizedyoga, Friday Facts, weekend, holiday, quest bars, camp, job, Memorial DayThis Life Is Sparkling

1. Last night was the first night I didn’t have anything going on since last Saturday. It.was.glorious.

2. Camp training is officially complete (thank goodness). It wasn’t too bad, but I think we can all agree training for jobs is the worst part.

3. So I tried baking a Quest bar (chocolate chip cookie dough) in the oven for the first time yesterday…omg so good. Even better than microwaving.

4. I’ve been going to my gym’s yoga classes twice a week and since they’re during the day, I can only go once more before camp starts I really need to find a yoga studio near my home. I love it so much!

5. This weekend I don’t have to work at all since I am basically done with working at Justice (minus the monthly floorsets). The fact that it’s Memorial Day weekend makes it even better. I’m in need of a “getting caught up on life” day (or two). My room hasn’t been cleaned in I don’t even know how long.

Have a great long weekend everyone!

Peace and Love,

Molly

WIAW: Cheesecake Lovin’

May 22, 2013Uncategorizedbirthday, Peas and Crayons, The Cheesecake Factory, WIAWThis Life Is Sparkling

Yesterday my bff and I celebrated her birthday (happy birthday Layna!), which of course included some delicious food. You’ll see it all below in What I Ate Wednesday!

Breakfast

overnight oats

Same as last week. Still can’t get enough of ‘em.

I was planning on having to work from 11-2 but got a text from my boss saying they didn’t need me, so that was a nice surprise! I lounged around a little bit and then finally mustered up the energy to go for a run. Running outside right now seems so much harder than the treadmill. I’m sure it’s because of the heat, but oh man, I need to get used to it since it’s not even summer yet!

Lunchsmoothie

salt & pepper triscuits

Since I knew I’d be having a big dinner and dessert (see below), I wanted to keep lunch on the lighter side. I normally put granola on my smoothies, but wasn’t really feeling it yesterday. Triscuits sounded so good so I just decided to have those on the side. Weird combo, but hey, it worked

It seems like it’s sort of become a tradition for me and Layna to go to the Cheesecake Factory for our birthdays (I went there for my 19th!). Since we both hadn’t had it since last September, we were excited.

Dinner

fresh vegetable salad

I was craving a salad all day so knew that’s what I wanted for dinner! This was off the appetizer menu and was the perfect size for a dinner portion. I also had some bread as soon as we sat down at our table.

Last time we were at the Cheesecake Factory it took us forever to decide which cheesecake we wanted. I’m happy to say it didn’t take quite as long as last time, and I was pretty pleased with my choice (red velvet!)
