Whew. It's been a long few days. In fact, the past few weeks have just felt a bit suffocating. A few things have kept me going (and smiling)...
My 3 minute breakfast. I am a huge advocate of the first meal of the day and since I am always running running running, I need something that's both healthy and easily transportable. Whole wheat English muffin topped with nut butter and granola plus a side of fruit. Can't go wrong. (Confession: I haven't had time recently to buy good nut butter so I've been using a thin spread of Nutella. Whoops!)
I try to make a point of filling my shower and my medicine cabinet with as many organic products as possible. I was excited to discover this new line, Gud, from Burt's Bees. This Orange Petalooza body wash smells incredible. I like a zingy scent in the morning to wake me up and this fits the bill!
I went to a happy hour for the SEAK Foundation on Tuesday night. I really wasn't feeling well but didn't want to skip it altogether, so I figured I'd stay for 30 minutes and a glass of wine. I ended up there for three hours (and ahem, more than a glass of wine). What can I say, the combination of Sauvignon Blanc and the company of many of my favorite SoulCyclers cured all my ailments!
The JDIPC always takes things off my plate and helps me cross things off my to do list, even when I'm not having a hellish week. Thanks, Dad.
What's kept you going this week?

ReplyDeleteYour breakfast looks so good! I always have a boring old plain cereal that I eat on the way to work (yeah, not following the most important meal idea!). Where did you get the blue plaid shirt you have on? I've seen it on you in a few posts, and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI also want to know about the shirt. Too cute! Yum, Nutella!
ReplyDeletelove your breakfast idea, i can only have strawberries on occasion but the concept is great, especially the nutella part!! yumm
ReplyDeleteglad you had fun at the happy hour and the pic of you and your dad is great, i can definitely see the resemblance.
Dad's are the best. When I had my surgery last week my Dad was awesome, everyday he'd come home from work to check in on me and sometimes would bring home a surprise. Dad's are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat breakfast sounds amazing!! And I'm definitely going to look into that Burt's Bees line!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of your breakfast! One of my favorite breakfasts is a gluten free Ezekiel English muffin with almond butter and half a banana or some berries.
ReplyDeleteYou look gorg in both pics!
