Fooooood and Fun… and IT’S WORKING!

Sunset Grill and Tap right on Brighton Ave in Boston was a BLAST! Three hours and three of the BEST EVER margaritas… hah. Neither Sara nor I needed that last margarita but we wanted to just keep talking so that is what happens!

I have to admit I left that place a lil tipppppsy! It has been SO long since I’ve had more than one drink at a time. Don’t you worry, I was traveling on foot! I love being within walking distance of places, which is true of Elliot’s apartment. I drive wayyyyy too much because I have to drive for my job and I live outside of the city. So whenever I can and do walk I really enjoy it.

The Sunset not only has two-thumbs-up margaritas, but they have a huge menu of drool-worthy food, too!  I ordered the hummus and eggplant wrap with sweet potato fries on the side! The food was DEEEEELICIOUS. Matt- I hadn’t had their sweet potato fries before last night and somehow I’m not surprised that you beat me to that… even though you live in another state! LOL.

 

Before meeting Sara B I squeezed in a quick run-

 

THURS RUN!

Distance: 3ish miles

Time: 26 minutes (which makes me think it was a little more than 3 miles)

Notes: I ran halfway around a river loop that I do when I ran into someone I know! Sally used to be my supervisor when I worked at the New England Center for Children and she and I really hit it off and have stayed in touch. She happens to live in Watertown and it is her baby girl that Elliot and I babysat this past winter (oh my what a night that was). So Sally was running and pushing the baby stroller and as I ran up to her I just turned around so I could run and talk to her.

I had a great time. We caught up and just ran right along. Sally is running the New York Marathon this year and she’s in great shape. I hardly noticed she was pushing a stroller! That is some great training. It was so nice to run with someone so I have decided we should really meet up to run together more often! The thing is since she’s just at home right now she often runs at 10 or 11, so we’ll see if we can make some running dates every so often.

 

I had to be at work this morning earlier than usual, so I didn’t have a lot of time to do core in the morning. But I did get some done! I am LOVING the consistency. Here’s what I did today:

10 pushups

1 set pyramid crunches (10 crunch ups, 10 crunch up-legs up-legs down-crunch down, 10 crunch-leg up at the same time, and then backwards to the beginning). It is 50 crunches total and I like the pyramid system.

10 pushups

IT IS WORKING! I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sore. It is mostly from the planks, so it actually worked out well that I wanted to do something different this morning. I’ll be back to the planks tomorrow though! I love feeling sore. I think the most important thing is to do something every single morning. KEEP IT UP mini challengers!!!!! Something is better than nothing and it doesn’t have to take more than 5 minutes.

5 dolllah… 5 dollah foooot loooooooooong….

LOL. I think that song has to make the top 5 (lol) for getting stuck in my head.

I’M GOING TO TAKE SOME PUG PICTURES this weekend! Colby and I went for a lunchtime walk today and I was cracking up at him. He makes the FUNNIEST snorting sounds. It’s hilarious. Apparently all pugs have breathing issues and snore and make funny noises. Who knew?! I love dog-sitting.

TGIF!
