WARNING: not the healthiest day.....but definitely a FUN day
Breakfast:
I almost always start my morning with a spark and some catalyst and thermoplus. Spark is a mental focus drink packed with vitamins and amino acids.
Catalyst is a supplement that supports muscle tone and enhances strength and energy. Thermoplus is a supplement that helps stimulate the metabolism. All 3 of these items can be purchased at www.advocareteamcatalyst.com
Typically I take those items first thing in the morning and then get ready, but on this particular day I got ready before hand
30 minutes after I take my supplements, I have my breakfast. On this wednesday I tried the vega choc-o-lat smoothie powder with some ice and some frozen bananas with a little bit of berry flavored sparkling water. MMMMMMM I will be buying a tub of that vega smoothie mix...DELISH!! I picked my packet up at whole foods.
At this point in the day, I usually fill up my big JUST DRANK gallon container with ice and water. I try to finish this before dinner time every day. My lovely friend, Jena, who you'll see later in this post, purchased this one for me but you can get your own at justdrank.com
It's a great cause!
Lunch:
For lunch, Jena and I went out to one of our favorite little Thai places here in the Jacksonville/Orange Park, FL area.
We started with some tea (hot tea for me) and spring rolls, which are
fabulous there!! We also had some of the bean sprout soup.
I had the day's special. Salmon in a very delicious ginger sauce with thai style veggies.
Jena had a yummy (I know because we are those friends that eat off of each others plates) garlic and ginger chicken with vegetables and the cutest scoop of rice you ever did see.
We both treated ourselves to a thai iced coffee =)
After lunch, Jena and I felt like it was a good day for walking
around our local hippy friendly stores in the five points area. Midnight
sun was our first stop. Here are some of our pics from our adventure.
There is Jena =) told you that you'd meet her in this blog update. To the left of Jena, you'll see sparkles our unicorn friend.
We picked up some candles and incense for a friend of ours and then headed over to Jena's place to RELAX before dinner. My Mamma (grandmother) was in town and I took full advantage of her babysitting the kids all day! No way I was going back home before the end of the night lol
Dinner:
Most of my friends and myself love to eat local. Brick is a great restaurant in the riverside area. Great cocktails, great atmosphere, and great food!
We met up with our friend Tiff for drinks and dinner! We started with champagne to toast to good friends and good times during this deployment (All of us are husbandless to the same command at the moment so we are going through deployment together). Along with our champagne we had a baked brie. Not just any baked brie, but a baked brie topped with a caramel sauce and pecans served with toasted bread, grapes, and strawberries. It was my favorite thing I had there.
Such a great place to enjoy with friends!!
We all picked off of each others plate so I can tell you, they were all AMAZING! Jena ordered this Mediterranean salad. Greens, olives, pasta, tomatoes, and fried calamari...OH MY!
Tiff ordered this big ole stack of yumminess. Layers of beefsteak tomato, mozzarella cheese, and caramelized onions all topped with sea salt, a basil leaf, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.
I ordered the ahi poke salad. OH MAN! Seaweed, horseradish, cabbage, lima beans, mango, ahi tuna, and crisped up wantons. SO GOOD!
We all finished up with a cocktail. Mine was a lemon drop Martini! mmmmmm
After dinner we went over to our friend Nikki's to spend time with her, Julie, and a friend of Nikki's. The the fun at Nikki's was captured on another friend's camera, but I assure you we had a great time ;-}
Hope you had a great week! Stay tuned for my thanksgiving vlog =]
