Gym. Market. Garden.  That has been our day!

This morning the Hubz and I downed two dates with almond butter and then headed to an early morning swim at the Y.  The hubz and I both swam tough 500 yards in the lap pool.  It has been forever since I swam laps and I forgot about how much of a work out it is!  After the Y we headed to Starbuck$ for a decaf iced coffee (to share) and we both picked up an oatmeal before heading to the first summers farmers market of the year.

After coffee and oatmeal we headed to the market where we picked up beautiful greens, purple carrots, rutabaga and some organic plants for our balcony garden.

After the market we had our community work day at our garden where we spent two hours raking and rolling out things. Crazy workout.

After our community work day we headed home for a late lunch before we headed back to our own garden plot to get to work on our plot.

 

Lunch- veggie burger, pop chips and beer

After lunch we headed back to the garden to get down to work and we even had a wonderful guest; my good friend Allie came for a visit with her furry friends.  We did more gardening and snacked on a Bora Bora bar.

After swimming, walking and gardening it was time for a bike shopping and date night out with the Hubz. First we went to look for new bikes for the Hubz and then to American Flatbread for beers and flatbread. Now it’s time to sit and relax and finish our movie.

What did you do today?

Good Morning!! The Hubz and I had a busy night and I didn’t get to blog after we finished our shopping trip. So lets rewind to yesterdays lunch which was leftover spicy swiss chard & lentils over quinoa which I ate about half of and an apple which I forgot to take a picture of however I’m sure you all know what an apple looks like and if you don’t google “gala apple”.

After work I headed out to pick up a mothers day gift which I am not going to reveal here because my mom reads the blog- Hey Mom! I also picked up a few plants for our balcony garden and an Honest Tea.

After shopping I picked up the Hubz from work and we headed home for the early bird special (dinner at 4:30pm) before we spent the night running around doing errands and shopping. For dinner I whipped up soba noodles with sundried tomatoes, fennel, mushrooms & garlic with a tahini sauce.

Once we fueled up we did a marathon shopping trip; first stop Fleet Feet to shop for new running shoes for the Hubz.

It was pretty interesting to watch how the guy measured your foot to figure out the right pair of shoes. He brought our two pairs of shoes for the Hubz to try and then he watched him run in them to evaluate how they worked for him. It just happened that the first pair he recommended where the ones that worked the best too; pretty talented shoe fitter. It made me realize that I should probably get fitted for my own pair of shoes since mine just feel a little off and the fact that I have had them for over a year.

We went from shoe shopping to bathing suit and goggle shopping. Since the Hubz and I are going to get a membership at the YMCA we decided that we needed goggles for the pool and were in need of swimming suits rather than sitting by the pool, I may go in to get wet bathing suits. We had a great time trying on all of the different goggles at Dick’s and both found a pair that we liked. However we did not find new swim suits, they were all awful. I did end up finding one at Kohl’s and on sale- WIN!

After goggles came …compost? Yes we headed to pick up compost and potting soil for our garden plot and balcony gardens. After that we ran a few more errands and then came home for a late second dinner of sushi and beer (yes we let ourselves have the night off from the cleanse- more on this in up coming posts).

and we watched a movie (the Hubz picked).

It was really good however we still need to finish the movie because the old man the Hubz was falling asleep.

Now we are heading out to the Y and then the market and then breakfast and then our community garden work day. AHHH! Busy day!

What’s the most recent movie you have seen? How was it?
