I hope you are all having a great Valentine’s day no matter what you are doing!
We had a busy day planned so I had a quick breakfast of PB puffins and a banana in skim milk.
After driving my sister home we went to the chiropractor, then went back to my parents house to watch “You Are What You Eat.” It’s one of my favorite shows but it’s a British show so it’s only on the BBC America channel and we don’t get that at our apartment. If you do have BBC America you should check it out, I know it’s on every Saturday at noon but it might be on through out the week.
After watching that we went to the dress place so I could get measured and put down a deposit for my bridesmaid dress for my cousin’s wedding. I’m so excited to get it. It’s a gorgeous dress, I’ll be sure to post pictures of it once I get it.
Once we were done there we headed to the gym. My right knee started bothering me yesterday so I took it easy and mostly walked on the treadmill today with a little jogging. I’m trying to prevent any injuries, I think I might have to look into knee sleeves, or something for my knee.
After the gym we were decided to try a kinda new place nearby for lunch called Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
I got a “Veggie Veggie” which was southwestern rice, corn, black beans, asparagus, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, onions, parmesan cheese, balsamic vinaigrette in a garlic herb tortilla. It was really good, I just wish they had whole wheat wraps.
Andrew got a Jamaican Jerk Chicken wrap which I tasted it was really good, spicey, but delicious.
After lunch we came back to the apartment and took a long nap. I can’t remember the last time I napped, it was glorious! Definitely needed that.
For our Valentines dinner we went to favorite restaurant, Yesterdays, I have come here dozens of times growing up. Pretty much every birthday I’ve come to this restaurant and I’ve only gotten one thing to eat. Chicken parmigiana, as I said yesterday this is my favorite meal! And at Yesterdays it’s amazing! I’m glad we had the chicken parm last night because it made me want it less, but the craving was still there. I started at the salad bar, that tri color pasta salad is so delicious!
I decided to try their homemade ravioli for my entree. I’m glad I did it was delicious, you can’t beat fresh pasta.
There were 6 altogether but I ate 3 of them and brought the other 3 home for lunch sometime this week.
I also had 2 fresh rolls. They are really small but they were still hot so I had to indulge in a couple.
It was a really great dinner, and I was happy to actually try something new. But on my 24th birthday next month you better believe I’m getting that chicken parm. I don’t know if I could not eat it on my birthday.
After we came home from dinner I had 2 of my cappachino coated coffee beans from Ellie!
Oh my gosh these were outta control delicious! It was hard to stop at just 2, but I’m going to do my best to make these last. Thank you so much Ellie!! Andrew tried one and loved it as well, I’m going to have to hide this bag from myself before I eat the whole thing tonight!
Well I’m off to lay down and watch “Burn After Reading” I hope you all had a lovely Valentines Day!

I love flavored coffee beans. I definitely hide stuff from myself so that I don’t indulge all in one time- of course I end up forgetting about the stuff eventually or devise a way to reach it eventually. Glad you enjoyed your V-day!

I’ve eaten so many PB Puffins today it’s ridiculous. They are MADLY addicting aren’t they.
I’ve also eaten many chocolate covered coffee beans. Cappuccino coated sounds even more amazing!
