Five Things Friday 4.25.2014

Happy Friday!

Brian and I have a very go-go-go weekend ending with a little family time for my birthday! Yep, I’ll be a whole quarter of a century and Sunday 🙂

My mom and sister are going to have a little brunch for me and my family, then we are going to have a little girl time by heading out to see Cinderella the ballet at Clowes Memorial Hall. I can’t wait!

Saturday, Brian and I will be headed down to cute little New Harmony, IN to celebrate Andrea (from A Doctor in the House…we knew each other before blogging!) and Kyle’s wedding! So much happiness this weekend…I don’t think I can stand it!

On that note, I’ll share my five things because it’s Friday:

Five Things I Ate:

Almond Milk Iced Coffee…mmmm

Avocado Dill Dressing…this stuff seriously is SO good! and it gets better the longer you let it sit in the fridge. I used the leftovers from Easter on my lunch and dinner salads this week and it was seriously amazing.

Brian and I went to dinner with his parents at their favorite restaurant: Fire By the Monon. My dinner salad was absolutely delicious: Salmon with spinach, black beans and a roasted vegetable medley of corn, onion, and bell pepper. AND I shared a couple of Brian’s onion rings 🙂

I whipped up a batch of salmon cakes on Sunday for the week and they turned out better than ever before! Not sure what I did differently, but they have been great 🙂
A black bean brownie made by a coworker…it was so perfect. After lunch I was still a bit hungry and didn’t really have any extra food to eat….so I had this black bean brownie! No sugar added, it’s sweetened with raspberries. Seriously I love these things. So tasty!

Five Workouts:

CXWORX
Bodypump
Indoor cycling

Bodycombat
Barbell Club (can’t wait to do this later today!)

**I haven’t done yoga this week, so I’m thinking I will probably just have to do a video at home…

Five Things Making Me Happy:

It’s my birthday weekend! 🙂
The new Indianapolis Bikeshare Program. Brian and I purchased annual memberships because the same company that does the bikeshare in Indy does it in Denver, so when we move our memberships will transfer!

The new Bodypump and CXWORX workouts/music…we launch on Monday and I am loving the new workouts!
Going to bed early last night. I have been very tired lately and that extra hour of sleep REALLY made a difference!
Les Mills Reebok Gear. I only have a couple of items, but the look is so fun and they tops are really comfy. I can’t wait to order more 🙂
