Things I am Loving…

Posted on by Naomi
Happy Monday, friends. How was everyones weekend? Mine was great, did some errands, relaxed a lot! What I do need to do sometime soon is some fall/winter shopping! I am acutally looking forward to sweaters and boots and cozying up by the fire! Fall is so pretty around New England and we always take day trips on the weekends to see some of the foliage.
On Friday night we went to dinner with my brother and his girlfriend at Amrheins restaurant which is in South Boston-AKA Southie  This restaurant is an upscale Irish pub with such a great atmosphere, beautiful dark wood, huge tables and good food!
I got a small garden salad to start. Pretty standard baby greens, tomatoes, red onion and cucumber. It was decent. I got balsamic vinegar on the side.
I ordered the simple grilled salmon which came with steamed broccoli and asparagus. I was a bit upset to find that the asparagus was butter coated, after I specifically asked that it be steamed. Oh well, just know for next time to double check! I had about half the salmon, all the broc and some of the aspargus. It was good, not anything to write home about but a nice fresh piece of fish!

Saturday morning, we woke up and after some oatmeal and eggwhites, I hit the gym. This workout today was called “Maddness in the gym” It hit every body part and had me constantly moving due to some intervals on the treadmill during the routine. The reps are a bit higher so I kept the weight not as heavy, which I loved because my body has been used to lower rep, heavy weights so its always great to switch it up!
For dinner on saturday, I threw together a delicious baby spinach salad with mushrooms, pepper, sprouts and grilled chicken
I had a CRAVING for kale chips (anyone else get wierd veggie cravings?) anyways, I had to make myself a big ole’ plate of them! I topped them with Mrs Dash original blend
The usual Sunday morning oats with chocolate almond milk/water, cinnamon, nutmeg. 1/4 C berries (there are egg whites under there!) and a squirt of SF syrup
Patriot game and delicious salad for lunch in my plate bowl (love these!)
Blurred lemon water
I have been adding a few tsp of lemon juice into my water and loooving it!
The mini peppers were FINALLY back in stock at BJs!!!! Everytime I went, they were out and I GRABBED them!

  • What are you loving these days?
  • Who is your favorite comedian? I love Chelsea Handler, Dane Cook and Bob Saget (he is acutally hilarious live!!)
  • What is your biggest gym pet peeve? Mine would be when 1 person takes up about 4 machines during their supersets and makes it very hard for you to work in! When I superset, I always make sure to let others work in and not make it seem like I own the place
