The chlorine is seeping into my brain.

100 minutes of pool running (100 just sounded more fun than 90—> I know, I think all of the chlorine is seeping into my brain and making me do and say crazy things like that I enjoy pool running now and want to go longer than I had originally planned on going).   

22 days until the marathon…

The girls were all meeting for a middle of the day froyo and I have never ever turned down an opportunity like that.

And I already miss her.   Monday cannot come soon enough.

I didn’t have a salad for lunch.  It is a miracle.  Brooke was in love with what I made too.  Egg scramble with turkey bacon, peppers, broccoli (steamed), sweet potato (cooked in microwave), onions of course eggs.  A side of english muffin is always part of my recipe for egg scrambles.

Brooke had her first experience with Play-Doh yesterday and she was a little skeptical at first.

And for dinner I went to my Restaurant Explorers group (about 20 people get together to go try a new restaurant and talk and eat all night long).

IMG 1892

I still can’t eat most Thai dishes (and zero Indian dishes) because of when I got Giardia in Thailand and I was soooooo sick (I am still amazed I survived) but I did absolutely love my bowl of Pho.  It was at least a gallon (the picture does not do it justice).

And as if ice cream once a day wasn’t enough… How could one turn down coconut ice cream!?

I’m super excited for the weekend because I’m spending it with family and it’s 3 days long of course!

Your lunch looks yummy, just had eggs with kale, butternut squash and sausage and your combo looks similar. Sweet potatoes and eggs should always be together!

This weekend is jam-packed! Stating out saturday with a spin class and then I’m taking my 16 year old niece and my 4 year old son to an annual street festival ( I have taken her every year since she was 2). It’s also my mom’s birthday on Saturday, so I’m baking chocolate peanut butter cupcakes and taking them over to have with presents. Sunday I will fit in another spin class before taking my mom out for a birthday brunch. Hope , in the afternoon, to have time to be able to drive out to a friends cottage for a visit. Phew, I’m pooped already! Enjoy your weekend and Brooke will be home before you know it!

Coconut ice cream!!! Yummmmm :)) Hang in there without Brooke this weekend. Please be sure to eat multiple hamburgers/hot dogs and drink lots of lemonade. It’s a requirement for Memorial Day, and I’ve heard BBQs reduce stress….(okay I made that up).

I’m most excited to be with my boyfriend and family this weekend, and to go to a dear friend’s engagement party :)

I wish I could be really super excited about the weekend but my youngest has been sick with a croup like bug and now it has brought on stomach but symptoms primarily because she also has reflux ( even at 3 1/2). So I am now cleaning out my car and her car seat after an episode driving home from the doctor. Why do they make car seats so hard to clean?? I am not the first person to have a little one get sick all over it! And my 6 year old just started with this thing yesterday. So it could be an interesting weekend.

But I am going to help my good friend paint tomorrow. She is getting a divorce and I have been wanting to help in some way. I guess I am super excited to have something to do that is tangible to help her.

Oh my goodness that Pho! Apparently there’s an amazing Pho restaurant somewhere here in NYC but I have yet to visit it. Maybe this is the weekend that I do!

A double: I am super excited this weekend because I am spending 1) Saturday reading by the lake (hooray summer!) and 2) doing my first detox (here: http://watchfit.com/diet/meal-plans/weekend-detox/)!

But I have been on overdrive these past weeks and am really looking forward to cleaning out the junk a bit and getting a kick start! After that, though, I am definitely making that egg scramble…
