I can hardly believe I actually did yoga this morning at 6:30am! I usually don’t even wake up that early!
Yoga was one of the best decision’s I made all day. I’d forgotten how yoga puts me in the THE BEST mood for the REST of the day. Even a Monday work day couldn’t take the happiness away. I was so cheerful and smiley all day! lol
Yoga with friends = best part of day (except for maybe zumba which may tie) – so glad I went!
Saying “see you later” (you guys know I don’t like “goodbyes”) to Kath who’s moving this week = worst part of day. I hate farewells, and I’m going to miss my friend! Hopefully, she visits us again soon!
I celebrated Starbucks Monday and got a spinach feta wrap and grande vanilla soy latte.
My last fancy green tea in my desk. 🙁 Guess it’s time to re-stock.
Lunch was leftover Lemony Lentil Soup and a piece of GH Whole Grain Goodness.
PS I had lots of leftovers of that soup! I stored 2 medium sized containers in the fridge for lunch this week. The rest are going in the freezer to be meals when I need a quick, convenient, but healthful meal at a later time.
Plus vegan chocolate cat cookies leftover from the vegan homemade ice cream I made this past weekend (and boy are there a TON left!).
Larabar in Cherry Pie was my pre-workout snack of choice.

Post work I decided a second workout for the day was in order – ZUMBA! Yes, I pushed my way through a fun-filled hour of zumba the same day I already did an hour of yoga. I’m not normally a fan of multiple workouts in one day since I like to give my body plenty of rest, but what can I say….I really wanted to zumba and my body felt up to it. Guess I was just owning my strength. 🙂

Post zumba I had a date with some friends.
These friends: L back to R: Michelle, Jessie, Katie, Kelly, Jen, Jen, Brittney, me.
We met up at Dandelion Market thanks to a Groupon we all purchased to try the restaurant out. We paid $10 for $20 gift certificates! Score! Click here to check out Groupon for yourself – it’s all over the country.
Loved their table water pitchers.
I tried the Blue Point Toasted Lager. The beer was served a little warm but the flavor was really nice.
Michelle and I split 3 tapas:
Aged Cheddar + Ale Fondue.
Stuffed zucchini.
Flat bread with caramelized onions and truffle oil.
We chatted and snacked and chatted some more.
I love my food blogger dinners!
Apple crisp. The topping was a puff pastry like topping, not so much a crisp. Perhaps the menu had a different name and I’m remembering it wrong, but it was a lovely, hearty dessert. I ended up saving some for hubby to try later.
Btw, if you check out Dandelion Market, be sure to ask for Rick – he’s very nice and will take great care of you!
Back home, it was treat time for Bailey.
Gimme five!
Booyah!
Nom nom nom time for Bailey.
that’s quite the evening out! everything looks amazing 🙂
hehe, Gibson does ‘high five’ too. It’s his favorite trick!
All of the food looks great 🙂 You are lucky to have so many fun food people around you!
i need to make that lentil soup. it looks amazing.
also, we totally watched kelly’s rascal do high fives for treats last night, too. i might need a dog.
So there’s a zumba class at my gym in CA, and when I leave Greenville to go back, I’m going to a class with one of my girlfriends on Sat. Consider yourself my inspiration!
The Dandelion looks like the perfect foodie restaurant. I will have to give it a try! Good job on the double workout day! I could definitely do two a days if it included Tanner’s yoga class and zumba… both are so much fun!
What a fun fun evening!!! I love tapas!
Since you did both workouts because you wanted to and because you enjoy both then that makes it okay. Great job.
It was so nice meeting you Diana! 🙂 I’m looking forward to zumba now! See you there!
Looks delish!!
And I love Cottonwood beers!
