I went to the gym and used the Elliptical for 20 minutes. I made sure to make the most of my short cardio session by pedaling hard and keeping my heart rate up. Next I alternated between holding a plank for 1 minute and doing 10 superman lifts. After stretching, I took some time out in the sauna, showered, and then went back to work.
Fresh from the gym without any makeup. I got this super long strand of pearls from my grandmother. I like to wear it doubled in sort of an Audrey Hepburn style. (This morning I realized I don’t own a pair of black pants. Better add that to my shopping list!)
I snacked on a tropical fruit Bear Naked granola bar. It was good, but maybe too summery? I’m more in the mood for red berries, apple, pumpkins, etc.
I finished my research for an upcoming Examiner article about vitamins. I decided to do something with the info I learned and actually take my multi-vitamin. I really need to make this a habit.
I snacked on a VitaBrownie when I got home from work. It was ehhh. I like the chocolate flavor of the VitaMuffin better.
I got sort of creative with dinner. I knew we had to have pasta, but I didn’t feel like eating it with red sauce. I boiled some Farfalle pasta with minced garlic. Once it was done, I mixed it with a sauce I created by blending Artichoke Antipasto Spread and olive oil.
I sprinkled Parmesan cheese on top and finished off the bottle of wine that’s been open since Tuesday night.
Jared and I caught up on the Amazing Race and I painted my nails. Now we’re watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It has to be a low key night because I’m getting a facial at 9:15 tomorrow morning. Plus we don’t want to spend money tonight because we’re going to eat at Ten Tables tomorrow night.

I did some shopping with my mom today and got some great new stuff at Jcrew…….you can have some of my black pants if you want hehe…..being an attorney, I wear dress pants every day (ugh) so I have at least 6 pairs of black pants for work:)

OMG sorry for the double comments but I just notice shop bop on your links! I am OBSESSED with shopbop! I have been shopping there since about 2002 and I create crazy wish lists on there!! There is one actual retail location in Madison, WI so I have been there too…..it’s hard to believe they started as a small store in a college town and now they’re online store is OUT OF CONTROL! Maybe we were separated at birth- LOVE IT!
