Play Dates & Lunch Dates
Thank you everyone for your kind comments yesterday. I have full faith that things will work out perfectly. God knows what is best and I want His plans to happen since I know they will be the most fulfilling. I look forward to all the future has in store for me because I know there will be great things to come. That won’t keep me from wishing and praying He works it out sooner than later though! God is my dear friend, so I know I can joke with Him about how He is managing things and that He gets me and all the faith that is truly in my heart. Thank you for helping me keep that faith grounded and strong.

Today has been jam packed and I am very thankful for that. As I’ve mentioned before, this week tends to have me going back on forth between various thoughts and emotions; so the best thing to keep me stable is distraction. Today I have had plenty to distract me. Tomorrow and Saturday I will have even more distraction. This week’s super filled scheduled could not have come at a better time.
Today started off with a bowl of Cheerios + dried pineapple + unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze to fuel for spin class at the gym.
It was delicious and helped me get through another great workout for my current needs. I love how easy it is to adapt spin classes to more or less intensity.
After class, I got cleaned up because I had to leave straight from the gym to go to a playdate with the mommy group. Question = how can I get so incredibly nasty sweaty in spin classes? It’s gross. I always sweat a lot but spinning brings it to a whole new level. Needless to say, I am very happy to hear rumors out there that the more you sweat, the fitter you are.
Once I was presentable and didn’t look like Mark Richt after being doused with Powerade (because us Dawgs don’t drink Gatorade)…
…we were off to the park for some playtime with friends. Any guesses where we spent most of our time at the park??
Aren’t you a genius?? Or just observant that Makenzie is addicted to the swings recently. I did manage to pull her away to do other things for part of the time we were there.
Playing the musical ball things, looking at “flowers”, and climbing a wooden “choo choo” are all entertaining in case you ever get bored. 😉
We only stayed an hour because this mom was getting to the point of hangry and in need of some grub. Lucky for me I had a lunch date planned with the hubs since the playground was less than 5 minutes from his office. Yay! I love lunch dates. They seem so special because they are out of the ordinary. They even more special when they include the best wrap you have ever eaten. Ever. Like, in your entire life ever.
We hit up Tacone Flavor Grill, which is a wrap, sandwich, and salad hotspot for lunch that my husband always raves about and has caused jealousy on my part for quite some time.
When I looked at the menu, I knew immediately what I would be ordering. It all looked so good, but the Perfect 10 just called to me.
It did, in fact, sound perfect. So I placed my order and then took a seat amidst all the cute decor. Love this message they have all over their walls…
Then…it arrived. A wrap so flavorful, so delicious, and so big alongside a just-right coleslaw.
Avocado, rice, beans, peppers, onions, cabbage, salsa, cilantro, and a smidge of cilantro ranch sauce all wrapped up in a wheat tortilla. Then the cool, crips, peppery, but not too oily/mayoinnasey cole-slaw alongside.
I finished perfectly satisfied. Which reminds me – stay tuned for an intuitive eating post tonight on feeling your fullness, something I sure did.
This meal Made. My. Day.Or I guess I should say second to spending my lunch with the most wonderful man on the planet. Go ahead and say it. “Awwwww”.
- What is the best lunch you’ve ever had? Or what makes a perfect lunch for you?
- Do you prefer lunch dates or dinner dates with a significant other, close friend, etc?
