Good Monday morning! How did Monday get here so fast?! Well, yesterday, Adam returned home from his golf tournament around noon. I got up to greet him at the door (I missed him so much- a weekend without Adam felt like and eternity!) and it took me a minute to get my legs moving. My hamstrings were STILL sore from Friday night’s Body Pump. I decided to take a rest day, there was no way I should be running or Body Pumping being that sore. I think it it may have something to do with 5 straight minutes of lunges BP 73 has
Around 1:30, after Adam was unpacked, we headed to the Warren Tavern for lunch. Since they were still serving brunch, I looked around and saw a zillion Bloody Mary’s, they looked so good, I ordered one
YUMMMM! I love now spicy Bloody Mary’s are. For lunch, I got the crab cake BLT. I was going to ask for it sans bacon, but for some reason, I really, really wanted bacon. I very rarely crave bacon, but when I do, I have it! I asked for it on wheat bread
The Tavern has the BEST fries in my opinion! So, whenever I get a sandwich there, I always get fries! DELICIOUS! Eating crab cakes reminded me of sitting outside in Baltimore enjoying crab cakes in the beautiful weather, with the even more beautiful Katy and Anne P.
Miss you girlies!!!
After lunch Adam and I hung around and watched a little basketball. I have a couple Blue Moons- my favorite!
Since we haven’t been to the grocery store in a while, dinner options were not that plentiful. I had a small bowl of Pastina! I have been eating this a lot lately, one of my childhood favorites.
I woke up this morning STILL SORE from Friday’s Body Pump! Good Lord, my hamstrings are sore! What is the deal?! I am now a firm believer that lunges work wonders for the hamstrings! I had a run planned, but think I may to way to sore for it still! Wow! I do plan on going to BP tomorrow morning before work, so I hope my legs feel 100% by then.
Breakfast was a toasted Crunchy Barney Butter and Crofter’s jam sandwich with half of a sliced grapefruit.
I had a lovely bus ride into work
I chatted the whole way with my friend John. I really love having someone to chat with on the bus, it makes a rainy Monday morning a little bit brighter. On the way to work, I grabbed a grande bold with two pumps of sugar free vanilla and some half and half – my new favorite!

Yay for the bacon! I gave it up for lent so I am pysched to eat it this weekend…lol! What is pastina? Never heard of it. I’m a bad foodie.
i’ve never heard of pastina either… looks good though!
It is just really tiny pasta. I add it to Lipton chicken noodle soup
YUM!
Going on a jog or something might help loosen up those muscles a little bit though. I love being sore after a workout. I know I pushed myself!
I think I have sore hams as well. Are your hamstrings behind your upper leg area? I did yoga on Saturday thinking it would be a breeze…I was sadly mistaken. Love the outfit.
Yes, your hamstrings are on the back of your upper leg. Yoga is not easy at all. Did you like it?
It was okay. It is somewhat relaxing at times but not easy at all. Those moves had me thinking, “yeah right, my body cannot do that”. My day off from exercise is Sundays so I might do yoga on those days.
ok, had to comment and say i loooove the top.
Thanks, Caitlin! I have it in black too! I have had it for AGES!
Ach! I think I actually STRAINED my hamstring
sooo your title is a little ironic! Good for you taking a day off, I could learn a thing or two from you (aka: who runs with a strained hamstring 9.3 miles through central park… <–me = moron!!!)

that pastina looks really good! will you show us how you make it?
It is super easy, just cook the Lipton soup by following the directions on the package and add a half a box of pastina while it is cooking, boil until pastina is tender.
Girl your outfits always look so cute!!
aww…pastina reminds me of childhood too – we would always have it when we didn’t like what my mom whipped up. It was like our go to easy meal.
[...] to class. I am debating a run tonight after class, but after, lack of sleep last night, my recent soreness and and trip to the ER, I will just see how I feel. Have a great rest of your [...]
I’m just now catching up on blogs from my crazy week. I heart YOU!!!! I miss you tons!!! Wish you, Anne and I were back at the harbor eating crabcakes!!
