Hello associates! How are you? I hope you had a beautiful Valentine’s Day, whether or not you had been celebrating together with your love, your Galentines, your kiddos, or your pet 🙂 For right this moment’s submit, I believed I’d share an old-school day of eats and adventures just like the weblog days of yore. Please understand that 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! We’ve over 200 associates signed up to date 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 ebook, some tub bombs and lip gloss. They had been pumped!)

When the ladies had been a lot youthful and I noticed reward baskets for each.single.vacation, it made me really feel burdened. I used to be simply making an attempt to maintain them alive, clear, fed, and completely happy, 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 rejoice, like hearts on their door with issues that I like about them. I nonetheless do that one right this moment and the ladies adore it – they maintain the hearts up all 12 months.

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 additional 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 occasions previously 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 attempt to presumably share with household and associates. Seems: I like 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 submit it as quickly as I’ve it!)

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

On the way in which, I picked up just a few dozen Valentines donuts to go away on the bar for everybody to take pleasure in, 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 figuring out on base. They’ve every thing I may ever need, all the enjoyable useful tools, and the vibe all the time challenges me to work laborious. The bummer is that it’s a stable half-hour from our home (40 in visitors), so it’s not lifelike to go throughout the week. Since I used to be already on base, I figured it was the proper time for a exercise discipline journey and received 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 had been comfortable, and it was the proper post-workout gasoline.

I headed straight house 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 chunk of sourdough with butter, and a easy chopped salad with Poshi asparagus and Primal Kitchen dressing.

I received again to work (studied IHP, 1 1:1 consumer name, labored on my Friday Faves weblog submit, 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 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 house the place that they had after-school snacks, and we dropped Liv at dance with extra Valentines to alternate. P and I labored on her homework at house and received prepared for a bit of household date night time at Fleming’s.

Fleming’s is without doubt one of the eating places in Tucson that’s persistently very excellent. All of us love their meals, so I figured it could be the proper Valentine’s dinner.

My lil Valentines:

As all the time, every thing 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 children’ menu. Liv and the Pilot additionally received cups of lobster bisque – I attempted a style and it was aaaaamazing. For our entrees, all of us received filets, and shared asparagus, onion rings, and Fleming’s potatoes (cheese and evenly 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.

Once we received house, 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,
