Hello! Today is a nice day since I just got an early dismissal e-mail! I get to leave at 1:00! Gotta love snow days! It is also my dad’s birthday so happy birthday dad! I will do a little recap of Monday and Tuesday before I head home!
Monday morning I went to Core Fusion before work. I tried out a new teacher since they just started offering morning classes at the location next to work. I really liked her. She changed up a lot of different moves which kept things interesting and challenging at the same time. It was nice being right near my work instead of near Central Park when I was done. I got to relax in Starbucks for a half hour and read a book with a nice cup of coffee.
I got to work and had the usual oats with bananas and yogurt. Lunch was the usual turkey wrap so I won’t bother showing you again!
I got a text before leaving work asking if I wanted to grab a margarita from 5 Burro Cafe after work. Of course I agreed since I am pretty addicted to that place! I decided to go to the gym for a little since I can’t expect to lose any poundage with margaritas all the time! I did 40 minutes on the elliptical and then headed over to the restaurant.
Mango and Lemon margarita! I love my new dolphin!
At the blogger meetup a few weekends ago, Julie got the Grilled Shrimp salad and it looked amazing! I decided to try out the Lobster salad instead of my usual fajitas!
It was amazing! Definitely one of the best salads I’ve ever had. There were huge chunks of juicy lobster, peppers, avocado, and onions. I might be getting this every time from now on!
My friend got the beef tacoswhich looked really good too! I may have had some of that melty cheese!
5 Burro is seriously the cheapest place to go if you want a quick buzz! One margarita for just $8.00 did the trick! Going on a Monday was a pleasure too. There was no wait and barely anyone in the restaurant! Good to know!
Tuesday
My oats looked extra good so they seemed blogworthy!
They were extra filling too! I was craving a nice big salad after my huge bowl of oats so I went to Hale and Hearty for lunch.
I got edamame, chickpeas, broccoli, cucumbers, and carrots with low-fat carrot ginger dressing. I also had some Cheddar popchips on the side. Love that flavor! I realized after I bought the salad that they charged me for chicken instead of chickpeas. So annoying but I was too lazy to go back and complain about $1.15. Oh well!
I’ve been bad about showing you snacks but I had a pear and a Kashi bar later in the afternoon. I had plans to take 2 Core Fusion classes after work so I knew I wouldn’t be able to have dinner till 10:00 at night! The first class I took was called Music Yoga Flow. I met Dori and Kristine at the Soho location. Dori was already there taking Core Fusion Open so I got to wave to her while she was stretching her legs. It was fun watching the class for once. There were lots of moans and groans!
About Music Yoga Flow (from Exhalespa.com)
This class is geared for students looking to have a great time in a consistent flow from pose to pose. Set to great music, including rock, reggae, hip hop, blues and world beats, each flow class offers an inspiring message and a deeply relaxing finish.
This description above is very accurate. I really enjoyed the music during the class. It was a great mix of songs that I actually knew. I can’t say that I loved the class just because I am not a yoga fan. I keep trying to like it but I can’t relax. My mind races and I always feel like I would rather be doing something else. If I were to take a yoga class at all, I would choose one like this. We did a ton of planks and some pushups so I liked that it actually felt like a workout. I don’t think I would run back to the class anytime soon though. I only have so many classes in my package so I prefer Core Fusion Open much more!
There happened to be a Core Fusion Open class right after so Kristine and I stayed. I really loved the class. Once again, the teacher played really great music. I get so much more into the class when they play loud dance music. My weights actually felt a little light last night so I think it is time to upgrade! Core Fusion is working! I could actually handle abs more than normal too. Usually I feel like I am the only one who can’t stay in the C-curve for very long. Last night she had us put our legs in the air first and then put them on the ground and this seemed to help me. The time went by very fast too!
As I was leaving, a bunch of girls started chatting about how Core Fusion helped them lose inches from their legs! They said it is better than any personal trainer at a gym. I completely agree. I think I could actually afford to join the Soho location in the future (it is a lot less than the other locations) so I might consider it once I use up my packages. We’ll see!
I got home around 10:00 at night so I was quite hungry for dinner! I tried to keep it light since it was so late. I made 1 egg and 2 egg whites with a salad and hummus.
I wasn’t satisfied so I had a Vanilla Chobani with some dark chocolate covered cranberries. Sorry no picture! It was very delicious though!
I am off to go venture home in the snow!
1) Do you have a snow day? Are you staying in or playing outside?

They keep telling us, 6-8 inches! Like, for the past 3 days.
But, no….I don’t know if that’s good or bad?! I would love a snow day, though!

No snow day for me up in Boston, I’m in my cube looking outside at the RAIN.
[Reply]
I hate that y’all are snowed in—all of my work comes from people in NY/NJ so I am sitting here bored (not that I am complaining or anything!)
Those tacos look heavenly, I am not having some sort of Mexican dish for dinner after seeing that (sans margaritas unfortunately)
No for us, just plain windy and cold. Good thing I didn’t bother with my hair today.
[Reply]
Happy B-Day to your Papa!
No snow day for us – we only got 9 inches
But if we did, I would stay in and bake bread!

That shrimp and lobster salad looks SO good. I can’t think of anything I’d rather eat right now, YUM.
I *kind of* have a snow day today. I didn’t go into the office, but I have been working from home all day. I don’t mind, though, because it’s too nasty to go outside anyway. If I didn’t have work to do I’d be bored anyway, and this way I’m make $$
[Reply]
Those margaritas look so fun and tasty!!

[Reply]
I spent the day indoors, as I’m already getting over a cold, so I didn’t want to make matters worse! Glad you were able to get off work early and make it home okay!
[Reply]
Yeah, it snowed a BUNCH here this week. My mom and brother didn’t have school the last two days (my brother is in 7th grade, my mom is a school nurse) but of course I had to still work, boooo.
I think this yoga flow class sounds awesome. I need to go to the yoga studio down the street from my house and see if they have any good classes. I have been practicing with Exercise TV, and learning the moves so I don’t look like an idiot when I take a class! I think I MIGHT be ready….we’ll see.
Enjoy the snow
