Namaste Mari: A Day of Shopping…

Hey everyone! Sorry for being MIA ayer but I spent the entire day with my family and did ALOT of shopping! We started at 1pm and I did not get home until 8ish lol. I will show you all the goodies I got but first let’s do a quick a little recap…

Eats and Workouts

The last time we “spoke” I showed you Monday’s breakfast which was not that eventful but lunch spiced things up.

Homemade Black Bean and Cheese Quesadilla with Sour Cream, Salsa, and homemade Guacamole; all on a bed of lettuce…

Din din was Tofu, Brussels, and Mushrooms Stir-fry with Red Pepper Flakes, Szechuan Hot Sauce, PB, and Teriyaki Sauce.

Monday morning I went to the gym with my sister and had an AMAZING workout! I love going to the gym early in the morning or afternoon, it is pretty quiet and I don’t have to wait for machines etc…I might switch around my workout schedule to do this more often because it is less stressful. I did day 2 of week 5 of C25K which was warm-up, jog for 8 minutes, walk for 5, jog for 8, and cool down…it was SO HARD to get through the jogging but I kept thinking of my grandmother and that gave me the umph I needed. I stayed on treadmill for 15 extra minutes, and then did the Captain Chair, Elliptical, and Ab machine and ended up burning 635 Calories in 70 minutes.

I then came home and refueled with Oikos Honey Yogurt with PB and a Banana and my usual Cafe con Leche

I relaxed for a bit and then met my mom, sis, and niece for a day of shopping…we hit up Tar-Jay, Old Navy, The Gap, Famous Footwear, and ended with some more Tar-Jay lol…it’s so nice that we went there twice lol

For Linner we went to TGIF…I started off with two pieces of Chicken and Quesadilla…

For my main course I had a Jack Daniel’s Flat Iron Steak with Baked Beans and Mashed Potatoes…This was a perfect way to say “good-bye” to meat for next few days lol.

And a couple of bites of Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie for Dessert…

Now to my goodies…of course I got the essentials at Tar-Jay…Lemon Zest Luna Bars and Dried Fruit lol (not pictured). And the movie he’s just not that into you”…I heart this flick!

The Gap was having a kick ass President’s Day Sale! I got a new dress for my nephew’s Baptism (I will be the godmother)

The pic on their website does it more justice…I am going to wear it with a grey cardigan…

“ A stylish spin on the little black dress, with a cool twist-neck, a sexy cinched waist, and ruched sides. Try it with a chic blazer or refined cardi for go-to office looks, then shed the layer and go flirty for after work drinks.” Courtesy of Gap
