Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting yesterday, it was my birthday and I had a ton of shenanigans going on and had no time to do anything but celebrate ;). I had some friends over for a kickback and we had a great time getting together and having some good ol’ barbecue and pool time. Kyle was such a sweetheart and got me the most adroable giraffe necklace and some beautiful flowers and a balloon. What a guy!
He tolerates me ;)
After lots of cake and hamburgers, I was in a food coma for most of the morning. Luckily, it wore off and I was able to get myself to the gym! I did a 30 minute elliptical workout that is a pretty standard example of the cardio I do before starting on my weight training! If anyone needs to break up a little sweat, here’s a good one 
After my time on the elliptical, I did a lower body workout that included lots of weighted squats, lunges, and deadlifts. A personal trainer who was working the floor stopped by to help me with by squatting form. Such great service! I can feel the soreness already, so I know it was a solid workout!
Back peddlin’ a little to breakfast, I made myself a pretty good egg white omelet with tomatoes, onions, green onions, and Trader Joe’s chicken sausage. Not a bad way to start off the day, if I say so myself.
My day passed by in a blur, but I also played some tennis with Kyle and had breakfast for dinner. The funny thing is, I usually am not too much of a breakfast food person even in the morning. Sometimes you just have to roll with it! I also had some soup to round out my meal ;).
I’ve been in a bit of a rut food-wise lately, and am hoping to get back into cooking. I think the stress of college and finals has turned me off of anything except relaxing and has put cooking on the back burn. I really am looking forward to getting inspired in the kitchen again. If you’ve tried any stellar recipes lately, let me know!
Catch you guys soon!
xoxo Christine
