Weekend fun! 10 miles & more :)

Saturday was a great day! Woke up and me and two of my friends went running with my running group for our standing saturday run. Always a great time and a great way to start off a Saturday!

Later that day I went to one of my close friends Bridal Shower! I am so happy to be apart of this time with her! I love seeing people in love and being in love and witnessing love. I just love LOVE!

I loved my outfit for the bridal shower! I was looking fierce hunni!

Sunday was the day I challenged myself then ate really good (Not as a reward for running 10 miles I promise!). I ran 10 miles Sunday morning! My longest run ever! Prior to that it was 8 miles. Yeah I think I am truly an official runner now lol. I did it in 1hr and 44 mins! Pretty awesome if you ask me! Now everyone wants to know when my first half marathon will be. HOLD YOUR HORSES PEOPLE! I'm not ready yet!

Stopped and took a pic as I ran over a bridge

Made it to the halfway point. The Prime Outlets.

ran along President Barack Obama parkway :)

These gave me the extra energy I needed every 40 mins!

St. Patty Day inspired Pom Poms!

So after running it was time to EAT! Me and a few of my friends went out to Keke's for breakfast because some were visiting from out of town. Keke's is an awesome breakfast spot in Orlando. I am obsessed (as mentioned before) with pancakes and they serve pancakes bigger than my face! All the other food is delicious as well but I'm positive some kind of crack is in the pancake mix as well as the toast.

Yup ALL MINES! Blueberry pancake with strawberries and bananas on top, cinnamon raisin toast, turkey bacon, turkey sausage, home fries(potatoes).

Then after that me and my girl booski that was visiting from out of town went to the farmer's market to get some stuff for dinner as well as do what we do best, people watch. It was a great day to just sit and relax at the park and watch people who don't know that they're being watched. If you don't people watch, you're missing out on life!!

After all that, we ended up going to a shopping center and doing a little bit of shopping. We both have problems. We admit it.

Finally we ended up back home and rested a bit. Though I should have been doing homework but I had been up since 5:30 and I needed a mini nap after eating my breakfast leftovers!

That night I learned that following directions when it comes to a new mandolin is key. More on that later as well as the recipe for this amazing dinner that I cooked. Zucchini Lasagna!

Dinner was followed with another treat (hey I ran 10 miles that morning). On Friday I had a groupon that was expiring at this ice cream shop (Brusters) and ended up having to get 6 oreo ice cream sandwiches. All for myself! JK! I popped those bad boys in my freezer for treats for when I really feel like I deserve something awesome in my life. Which included Sunday night in that moment. It was so so awesome. I can't even describe how awesome. Mmmmmh ice cream.

What is your favorite breakfast spot?

How do you usually spend your sundays?

Do you people watch?

Spinach Protein Frittata Bowl

I found that I eat spinach just about every day! It has such great health benefits and with the fact that I drink Green Smoothies often, I have become accustomed to having Spinach for breakfast. Makes it easy to get in my daily dose of veggies! This a staple breakfast for me and thought I'd share. Simple ingredients, low calorie, great amount of protein, and takes about 20 - 30 minutes to bake.

Spinach Protein Frittata Bowl

Ingredients:

1 to 2 cups of Spinach
1 to 2 slices of turkey bacon or 1 - 2 turkey sausage links
2 egg whites (about 6 tbsp) or 1 whole egg and 1 egg white !
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.

Cook the sausage or bacon.

While that is cooking, cook the spinach lightly and then mix into a bowl with the egg. Season with salt and pepper.

Once meat is done, chop it up into small pieces and then add it with the spinach and egg mixture. Mix that together and the pour it into a small baking bowl. You may lightly grease the bowl.

Put into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. After about 10 minutes, turn on the broiler.

Let the oven broiler cook the top of your frittata bowl. In about 5 - 10 minutes the top should have turned a golden brown. It will rise some. You can turn off the broiler and put the oven back on 350 and let it cook about 5-10 minutes.

Take the bowl out of the oven and let it sit for a couple minutes. The top will deflate a bit. Enjoy! I usually have this with a side of some grapefruit or whatever fruit available!

Serving: It's your own little bowl! No sharing!
Calories: At most roughly 200. That is based on 2 turkey sausage, 1 whole egg, 1 egg white, and 2 cups of spinach.
Tip: When I use 2 egg whites I add a little water to the mix.



I'm pretty simple but don't be afraid to add other things like onions and tomatoes into the frittata. I'm going to add cheese to my next one!

What is a good to breakfast meal for you?

Do you eat a lot of spinach?

Will you drink half your weight in water today? :)
