If you want the Rainbow you gotta put up with the Rain

Sorry I didn’t post last night we didn’t get home until 11 and I was asleep within 5 minutes of getting home. We used to go out some nights at 11 o’clock, now I can’t stay up for anything! Oh well I guess that’s what happens as you get older.
Yesterday I switched it up a little and had a smoothie first thing in the morning for breakfast. I had the time before work so instead of bringing my usual yogurt I blended up some purpley goodness.
This smoothie contained:
- blueberries
- pineapples
- spinach
- 1 scoop protein powder
- skim milk
- POM juice
Delicious as always but I’m all out of bananas so I definitely missed that flavor!
Well you can’t expect me to stay away from Chobani for a whole day so that was my lunch!
I added granola and pb on top. What a difference the pb makes in the staying power of this yogurt. I had an apple on the side but didn’t wind up eating it until 3:30.
Here’s a closeup:
I began craving pizza around 4 so I was texting Andrew non-stop asking him if we could go out tonight to Harborside again. He of course said we could. On the ride home we spotted a rainbow!
Can you see it? It just made me think how all week I’ve been upset and worried about my job situation and reminded me that after a rainstorm there’s a rainbow, it may sound silly but that rainbow gave me a little bit of hope for the coming months.
“Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear.”
Dinner was at Harborside again, once I had their pizza last time I was in love and had to go back for that cracker thin crust.
First I ate Andrew’s Salad which came with the dressing on it even though we asked for it to be on the side, I was going to say something but we didn’t see our waiter for quite a while so I just started picking at it.
Sorry for the dark picture, I wound up just flipping most of the salad over and the lettuce and veggies underneath barely had any dressing, I would say I ate about 1/2.
I also had a roll.
Then my pizza came, it was a lot cheesier then last time but it’s so fresh it tastes delicious!
Andrew got my other favorite from here rigatoni pomadora, and I of course and to have a few tastes.
Well I have a busy day ahead of me, with all the stress this week I let the cleaning of the apartment fall way behind so I need to get that done, then go to the chiropractor, then to the gym. Around 3 my grandparents are coming to visit for the night so I’ll probably be with them for a while since I haven’t seen them in so long! So enjoy your Saturday I hope it’s warm and sunny wherever you are!

That lunch looks super yum! PB and granola are two of my favorite things. I’m happy you got to see a rainbow, that’s how I usually try to think about those things too, almost like it’s a sign or someone trying to remind me that there’s better times ahead.
