I hope you had a beautiful Valentine’s Day, whether or not you have been celebrating together with your love, your Galentines, your kiddos, or your pet 🙂 For at the moment’s publish, I believed I’d share an old-school day of eats and adventures just like the weblog days of yore. Please needless to say What I Ate Wednesday posts are simply to share some new concepts and I completely perceive why they can be problematic or not a match for sure associates on the market. If it’s not your cup of tea, no worries in any respect, and I’ll see ya tomorrow with a brand new podcast episode!

Within the meantime, join Spring Shape Up here and begin testing the platform! Now we have over 200 associates signed up up to now and I can’t wait to do that with all of you.

The women awakened early and had their Valentine’s baskets ready for them.

(Sweet, beanie boos, a cute coronary heart sweater, a e-book, some bathtub bombs and lip gloss. They have been pumped!)

When the ladies have been a lot youthful and I noticed present baskets for each.single.vacation, it made me really feel careworn. I used to be simply making an attempt to maintain them alive, clear, fed, and joyful, so issues like Halloween baskets or Valentine’s baskets appeared unfathomable to place collectively. As a substitute, I simply tried to do different issues to have a good time, like hearts on their door with issues that I like about them. I nonetheless do that one at the moment and the ladies adore it – they maintain the hearts up all yr.

Now that they’re a bit older and may, you already know, costume themselves, bathe themselves, and so on., it’s a lot simpler to do enjoyable little further issues once I really feel prefer it.

I chugged some AG1 earlier than heading out the door and ate a few eggs with sriracha and EBTB seasoning.

(Confession: I’ve solely tried AG1 a few instances up to now and didn’t just like the style. The model requested me if I wished some to check out, so I figured I’d give it an actual try to presumably share with household and associates. Seems: I adore it. I even began craving the style within the morning after ingesting it persistently. I like all the vitamins and I really feel nice after a few weeks of ingesting it every morning on an empty abdomen. They provided a reduction code to share, so I’ll publish it as quickly as I’ve it!)

I dropped the ladies off in school with their Valentine’s containers and goodies for his or her associates, and went straight to the Pilot’s squadron.

On the best way, I picked up a number of dozen Valentines donuts to go away on the bar for everybody to get pleasure from, together with playing cards and roses for his or her family members.

After I dropped off the great, I headed someplace I by no means go anymore: the bottom gymnasium!

I LOVE understanding on base. They’ve all the things I may ever need, all the enjoyable purposeful tools, and the vibe all the time challenges me to work arduous. The bummer is that it’s a strong half-hour from our home (40 in site visitors), so it’s not sensible to go throughout the week. Since I used to be already on base, I figured it was the right time for a exercise area journey and bought in an superior complete physique exercise.

Breakfast was ready for me within the automotive:

1/2 cup oats

Almond milk

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Cinnamon

Blueberries

Peanut butter

It set within the fridge in a single day so the oats have been mushy, and it was the right post-workout gasoline.

I headed straight residence to get to work for a few hours (answered emails, recorded a podcast episode, and designed the exercises for subsequent month’s Match Staff) after which took Maisey on a stroll.

Lunch was leftover Tremendous Bowl chili, a bit of sourdough with butter, and a easy chopped salad with Poshi asparagus and Primal Kitchen dressing.

I bought again to work (studied IHP, 1 1:1 shopper name, labored on my Friday Faves weblog publish, despatched some invoices), took a meditation/prayer break on my Go Mat (10 minutes)

after which had a lil afternoon deal with:

a decaf espresso with almond milk, collagen, and a See’s coronary heart truffle.

Shortly, I blitzed by means of the home (ran a loud of laundry, wiped counter tops, vacuumed, and switched out the dishes) and headed to a gathering at church. After the assembly, I picked up the crew, who had tons of valentines and goodies from faculty!

We headed residence the place that they had after-school snacks, and we dropped Liv at dance with extra Valentines to trade. P and I labored on her homework at residence and bought prepared for somewhat household date night time at Fleming’s.

Fleming’s is likely one of the eating places in Tucson that’s persistently very excellent. All of us love their meals, so I figured it might be the right Valentine’s dinner.

My lil Valentines:

As all the time, all the things was unbelievable.

We began with the salad (the Pilot and I break up one), a shrimp cocktail, and P had the cheese plate from the youngsters’ menu. Liv and the Pilot additionally bought cups of lobster bisque – I attempted a style and it was aaaaamazing. For our entrees, all of us bought filets, and shared asparagus, onion rings, and Fleming’s potatoes (cheese and flippantly spicy). The Pilot stopped consuming desserts again in October so I shared this chocolate lava cake with Liv (P had ice cream and whipped cream). I had some sauvignon blanc and a Valentine’s cocktail that had gin, strawberry and lemon.

After we bought residence, I’d like to say I crashed into mattress in a wine and steak induced slumber, however…not fairly. I folded and put away a load of laundry, set out the ladies’ garments for Wednesday, the Pilot completed homework with the ladies whereas I packed lunches,
