Hi lovlies!\u00a0 I didn’t do a separate dinner post for last night since we didn’t have too much before heading out to see Cirque!\u00a0 I was hungry but not overly so, which meant “dinner” was a light affair.<\/p>\n

\"Salad,We had small mixed green salads that were silly easy with cranberries, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sliced almonds.\u00a0 Drizzled with a little bit of balsamic dressing.\u00a0 On the side was some cheese crackers and some hunks of sharp cheddar.\u00a0 To drink were some pre-show cocktails!\u00a0 White wine spritzers, a little bit of chard with some seltzer.\u00a0 Mmmm!<\/p>\n

All my bod seems to want this month is cheese and lots of it! So I’m obliging but still keeping things in check.\u00a0 Cheesy crackers and a few nibs of the cheddar were perfect last night.\u00a0 I would break off small pieces of cheese and savor the flavor.\u00a0 And hello, this little combo I’ve got going on: salad, cheese, crackers, AND wine is like my favorite little nibble plate.\u00a0 Love it!<\/p>\n

Then we attempted to take a nice shot of ourselves before the show.<\/p>\n

\"ScottShot 1 where we are discussing the best angle and Scott is also being totally ridiculous.\u00a0 I don’t even know what he’s doing or attempting to do in this picture.\u00a0 And that’s me in all my big Polish nose glory. REPRESENT!<\/p>\n

\"ScottAhhh now we’re bringing in the pretty.\u00a0 Look at my stud muffin of a man, can we not just eat him up?<\/p>\n

This was our first time at Nationwide Arena and I have to say that the arena itself is really nice.\u00a0 It’s new so it’s still very clean and purty.\u00a0 The seats were a bit squishy and one barely had room to move.\u00a0 I don’t know how fans negotiate their actions during hockey games.\u00a0 Or concerts.\u00a0 Or during professional bull riding shows which will be coming up at the arena in October.\u00a0 Wanna go?<\/p>\n

The show started and I will tell you that I found the opening scene totally bizarre.\u00a0 Like way out there, the choreographer is still dropping acid kind of trippy.\u00a0 Most of the stuff Scott and I really enjoyed but there was a bunch of stuff we didn’t care for.\u00a0 I for one don’t like clowns nor do I care for clown routines because I don’t find them funny.\u00a0 There seemed to be a lot of that type of stuff this time around.\u00a0 We liked Corteo a lot better.\u00a0 But Saltimbanco had its moments and we were glad we went!<\/p>\n

We got home around 10:30pm and this grandma crashed out.\u00a0 Seriously I was so tired, I put on my jammies and went to bed. End of story!<\/p>\n

I got up this morning at 7am and busted out into the humidity for a 4mile run.\u00a0 I wore my running shorts which are still fantastic!\u00a0 My run was just okay.\u00a0 My pace was close to a 12min mile which surprised me.\u00a0 1. Because I was doing okay and 2. Because my time seemed okay.\u00a0 However, I know this is because I didn’t fuel properly before hand.\u00a0 I was a bit hungry when we got home last night but being tired won out and I went straight to bed.\u00a0 I should have had a small snack and I would have been fine this morning.\u00a0 Lesson learned, I under-fueled.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

A big class of CS<\/abbr> and back out for a short walk with Rocks.\u00a0 Then I stretched and did <\/em>refuel!<\/p>\n

\"Coffee,<\/p>\n

Okay well maybe you don’t consider coffee as refueling but I do!\u00a0 With some yogurt, granola, and cranberries.\u00a0 I ate and read blogs and had FoodTV going on in the background.\u00a0 Then I got up and started making Sunday Breakfast and getting things for dinner prepped.<\/p>\n

All I wanted to eat today was protein and carbs.\u00a0 Gimmegimme!<\/p>\n

\"Scrambled<\/a>Scrambled eggs with chopped spinach and salsa mixed in.\u00a0 Spicy chili galic hot sauce on top and melted pepperjack cheese!<\/p>\n

\"Toast\"<\/a>12grain bread toasted and buttered.<\/p>\n

\"Watermelon<\/a>Mah melons!<\/p>\n

\"Juice<\/a>Mim-FAUX-sas!\u00a0 Pineapple juice+OJ+Seltzer = delicous fun!<\/p>\n

\"Juice,I had two glasses of juice!\u00a0 Totally unheard of around here!\u00a0 And three 1\/2s of toast, tons of fruit, and most of my eggs.\u00a0 Mmmmm delish!<\/p>\n

Dinner prep included this:<\/p>\n

\"Sangria\"What I hope turns out to be a party in a pitcher!\u00a0 A bottle of chard mixed with apple, blueberries, and watermelon.\u00a0 Letting that chill for a bit then I’m adding seltzer and getting busy!<\/p>\n

Alright gang I am on Teh FacePlace (bonus points if you get the reference and can name it!) and still trying to figure things out.\u00a0 So if you are also with the FacePlace friend me!\u00a0 Um, I’m not sure what link is the link to hand out but if you look for Off Her Cork you should be able to see me.\u00a0 I think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
