Parents' Weekend!


Guess who’s coming to visit this weekend?


Giuditta and Dr. Dad! It’s only been four days since I saw them last, but I’m still happy to see them. And we’re going to Pure Food and Wine tonight…needless to say I’m super excited?

After a late night of Tostidos, curly fries, funny conversations and the Eagles game, I actually woke up rather early and breakfasted on a bowl of Kashi GoLean, banana, frozen strawberries and chocolate almond milk.


Chocolate almond milk = my new obsession. I’ve had it before, but somehow I didn't fully appreciate it as much as I do now.


Late in the morning, I headed to the gym. 40 minutes on the elliptical flew by while watching the latest episode of Gossip Girl on my iPod!

Lunch was a hodge podge of things.


I had two La Tortilla whole grain softwraps:


Tribe roasted red pepper hummus for dipping!


And a pile of steamed carrots and zucchini topped with salsa.


Plus a little “sweet” plate (I'm saving the real sweets for tonight!).


The usual cinnamon-dusted apple:


And two cashew-stuffed medjool dates.


Now I’m off to daydream of what’s awaiting me this evening…


Happy Friday!

have an amazing time with your parents - I know how much of a treat it can be to have someone take you to dinner and do the things that you never make a point to do on your own!
