Quick, rewind to Friday afternoon….
I used my leftover Chicken Picatta in a veggie-filled salad.
I snacked an a healthy bar.
I was feeling pretty sore from Body Pump so my gym time consisted of 15 sweaty minutes in the sauna. I’m not making any excuses. It was a much needed day off!
I always want to be comfortable at work on Fridays.
I had a few small snacks throughout the afternoon/evening because I knew I wouldn’t be eating dinner until 8:30 pm.
Jared’s parents met us at the apartment and we shared a cab to dinner. We started our meal at Jacob Wirth with some Fried Pickles. Freshly fried and unhealthy, but oh so delicious.
Goat cheese pizza as appetizer number 2.
Vegetable Ravioli due. I wish I could’ve finished the plate because these were SO good. I especially love the ones filled with asparagus. I hope the leftovers taste just as good.
2 nights in a row of eating heavy food and I feel it. No guilt or worries. I can just tell that my body is reacting to all of the processed food. Mehhhh.
We did burn off a few calories by joining in the piano sing-along. Jacob Wirth has a huge sound book so we were flipping back and forth to find the lyrics of each new request. Lots of fun! The crowded restaurant was really into it so we had a great time. Keep Jacob Wirth in mind if you are ever in Boston and want to have some good clean fun!
Ok, Saturday morning…
We had a quick bagel breakfast before getting out in the fresh air to take the dog for a walk.
Since Miles is turning 4 at the end of the month, I gave him an early birthday present: a green CUPCAKE collar. I think he looks so cute. I think he could care less.
We ate lunch at Volle Nolle in the North End. They have delicious sandwiches.
I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with chicken, fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, spinach, and herb mayo. 
We wandered in and out of the fun shops in the North End.
I love Polcari’s Coffee. Such a cute shop.
We stopped in Boston Common Coffee because having reviewed their coffee, I have become a huge fan. Plus Jared’s dad loves their beans and needed a fresh bag.
We wandered through Haymarket.
Fish stand at Haymarket. Eww.
Starting to make small changes in the way I think about food, I bought dog treats for Miles that were made from cage free chickens.
I’m exhausted from being out and about all day. Time to rest up before dinner at Sportello and then cocktails at Drink. Plus figuring out a time to go on a long run tomorrow. Glad the nice weather is supposed to continue!

I love your attitude about exercise…you enjoy it and love it, but have no regrets when it comes to days off! Perfect attitude!

I am not a city girl, but on days like Saturday, when the weather is just so nice, I wouldn’t mind being right in the city and taking a long walk through the Common, Quincy Market, the North End…. What a beautiful day!

I love goat cheese on my pizza. I once made it for some friends when we were in high school, and they still tease me about it, although some of their palates have grown to enjoy it now. I guess not too many 9th graders like sun dried tomato and goat cheese pizza.

So funny, my friends and I were just daydreaming about fried pickles on the chairlift yesterday. Somehow they are something to crave when out skiing.
Looks like you definitely enjoyed the weekend!
