Hello there
Day 2 in Naples…
Breakfast was a huge green monster…and then we were off to Super Target!
TARGET IS THE COOLEST STORE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I died and went to heaven. I’m going to need to go back at least twice more just to see everything!
My mom and I loved the girl’s bedroom decor…I was told that ‘I must have a girl!’
How cute would a child’s bathroom be with this stuff?!
Oh my gosh…their dishware section!! Words cannot describe how big my pupils got.
For the record, I took a lot more pictures…obviously! Unfortunately my blog will combust if I post all of them.
This is what I got: 3 plastic plates, 1 plastic bowl, B12 vits (super cheap here), Halle Berry’s new perfume (smells awesome, my mom and I both got one):
I can’t believe that is all I walked out with. I must go back so I can have time to try on clothes.
Eric’s only purchase (LAME!!) bahahah
Then it was off to the Miromar Outlet- it is a huge outdoor outlet mall. And I mean huge…as in you live here your whole life and you might get to every store.
We stopped at Subway for lunch and I got a big salad.
We only made a dent in this outlet. None of us bought anything either.
When we got back to our rental car, we discovered that someone had hit the car and RUN.
We got home and I had a second lunch as that subway salad was AIR in my tummy…
- Eziekel wrap with hummus
- 1 orange
- 1 apple
- Mary’s crackers + hummus + tomato sauce
Hit the spot!
Eric and I relaxed on the porch for a while and I did some writing. Then we decided to go for a run-bike!
It was amazing outside. Perfect temperature and blue skies.
All along the trails they have fitness stations to do different exercises.
I love running on vacation.
I also love having time to spend with Eric…we’ve been going mock speed for the past two years and it is nice to be able to just leave work behind for a while and not think about it.
We had been gone for over 1 hour and I got worried because we weren’t sure where we were for a few minutes. I asked the hubby if we were lost and he said NOPE! hahaha…he says that always of course.
Picture below: 1 hour 5 minutes: I was saying to him, ARE WE LOST??? Need…water…!
But alas we made it and pulled in after 1 hour 12 minutes! I have no idea how many miles we covered but I ran quite speedy to keep up with Eric. The terrain is so flat here and I found it easier to run faster than usual.
Once home I had a banana to re fuel and lots of swamp water. Then it was time to get ready to go out for dinner. Eric and I were treating my stepdad to a belated birthday dinner at Carrabba’s. [He is a bit camera shy so don’t expect to see him on the blog!]
I looked at the menu and there was one thing I could get that was vegan- a cheeseless veggie pizza, so I was good to go…or so I thought! When we got there we were told that they were OUT of pizza. Ummm…come again?!. Luckily the chef was very accommodating and made me a custom stir-fry. I had a salad to start (which was decent!) and 6.5 oz of Merlot.
Behold the biggest and most delicious stir-fry ever:
I cannot believe I ate it all. It was massive (the bowl was deep). I think I had about 400 servings of veggies in this dish (and probably 10 tablespoons of oil!). Everyone else loved their dishes too.
I’m still crazy full and it is midnight!
Tomorrow’s plan:
- Fort Lauderdale bound in AM
- Checking into motel
- Lunch: ????
- Afternoon: parasailing + beach stuff
- Dinner: ????
- Bars- Irish pubs
I am pretty sure the motel has wireless, so let’s hope it works…
Night!

i cannot imagine life without target. i go there almost daily, haha! so glad you got to enjoy it!!!
What a day what a day!!! I knew you would be instantly obsessed with Target. I still cannot believe it was your firs time. I have gotten SO many dishes from that place. You found some cute ones. I need to go back for a restock.
Boo with the hit and run…I hope that ends up okay. You are glowing in all those photos, Angela!
I can’t believe how rude people can be to hit and run! that annoys me, like come on!
The run/bike looked so nice, i cant wait until Saskatchewan has some nicer weather (and when i get a new job) so that I can go outside and run and train for my 10K. Eep.
That stir-fry looks awesome! So huge and filling. Yum! I’m having major veggie cravings now.
I’m very jealous of the Target visit.
Some may be jealous at the sun, sand, palm trees. Not I, I want to go to Target!
I am loving your vacation posts. Relaxed workouts on vacation are so much fun…as are relaxed vacations! I haven’t really had one of those in quite some time! Looks like you guys are having so much fun and that dress is totally adorable
OMG Target is AWESOME. It’s my absolute favorite store. Florida looks so nice and warm, it’s quite chilly up here in Chicago.
wow what a day! I love running on vacation too – its such a great way to explore an area!
While I neither have TJ’s or whole foods here, I do have a Target! haha I get a lot of props there for food pictures… so great!
That white dress you are wearing is so gorgeous! It looks stunning on you!
Naples looks so beautiful! I would LOVE to run outside in the sunshine and feel the warmth of the sun.
My cousin lives in Naples and she just loves it there.
I can’t wait to see more of your vacation pix!
I used to work at Carrabbas. Once I changed my lifestyle it was pretty hard to find food there after a long shift. I normally did what you did. The chefs were used to my requests. They actually have only 1 vegan sauce, its the Picchi Pacchu sauce. It consists of chopped up tomatoes, EVOO, basil, garlic, and some spices. So if you happen to ever go back, the stirfry is even better with that, than the oil. MUCH healthier too. Hope that helps

Sounds like a great vacation so far! You are right about Target – it’s always a fun store!
Looks like so much fun!! LOVE love love Target
Quick question for ya – what kind of knee sleeves did you use before to help your running? I’ve tried a few types but they’ve been too bulky and stiff – (big velcro straps or stiff on the sides). Do you have any recommendations or specific info on what you used?
Isn’t Target FABULOUS?! I live in the US and have access to one all the time, but I still “ooh!” and “ahh!” over everything
Your vacation looks awesome, and that custom stirfry looks delicious.
I feel like I’m on vacation too!!
I never realized you didn’t have Targets!! OMG best store in the world. I don’t have one near me at school, so I always go crazy when I come home on vacations. I just go binge shopping there!
What a fun day! When you went to the restaurant, did you tell the waiter that you were vegan? That was so nice that the chef made a special dish just for you! I have been reluctant to make any special requests as I feel I am being difficult – most times I just say I have dairy allergies AND that I don’t eat meat. Although that doesn’t always cover everything in a vegan diet.
I’ve been following your blog for a while and I love it!
It’s especially nice now since I go on vacation to Florida (Naples area to be precise) once a year, and I recognize all the places haha. Miromar is so good, I love that outlet!
Enjoy the rest of your stay in Florida!
Target is indeed wonderful…I miss it so much and did a lot of damage there in Hawaii a few weeks ago!
Eric doesn’t ride with a helmet?!
I want a girl
That is, when it’s time for me to have a baby! lol! That salad is biiiig from subway!! And your run looks lovely! Such nice weather! *jealous* xxxx
have you gained weight?
Christ on a Mary’s Organic Cracker…
Incredibly rude, none of your business, inappropriate, gross… any of these ringing any bells for you? They totally should be.
Also, seriously, spectacular job missing the point of Angela’s blog. We’re here to celebrate health and fitness, not wallow in negative weight talk.
Run along.

Wow…rude much? Angela looks wonderful and sets an amazing example for ways to be healthy from the inside out. Why judge?
I’m shocked that someone actually posted that. Wow.
Angela- you look beautiful.
Mandy has got some nerve. Mandy didn’t your parents or teachers teach you anything about manners?? Obviously she is just jealous of how FABULOUS you look Angela!
I was just thinking how amazing you look in that dress, and as always, you look so inspiring in running gear! Mandy is weird. And rude, and obviously doesn’t see what everyone esle sees.
“Mandy is weird” made me laugh out loud.
You look AMAAAAAAAAAAAZING, Angela!
That white dress is divine!
Not to mention, TARGET!!!!!! Ahhh I miss Florida. I miss the USA in general, really sometimes… you can get the coolest stuff there.
Sorry to hear about your hire car.
Those trails remind me of the trails in Queensland. Memories
I love your white dress! I think it is so cute how much you love Target. I knew you’d like it! I want to go there everyday…it is amazing.
your reaction to Target = priceless! it IS the most amazing store ever, hands down!
Haha, glad you got to go to Target. It is the best, isn’t it?
I love your white dress! It pops so well with your tan!
Have fun in Fort Lauderdale! check out Sublime restaurant if you have the chance
See, I told you you’d love target!! I can’t wait to go there on Easter break! Did you know target is thinking about coming to Canada?? I hope so!
You look lovely in that white dress =D

Life without Target is no way to live!
I love to run on vacation too – it’s like a treat! Oh and Target beats the socks off of ‘Zellers’ doesn’t it? Ok, like they’re even in the same league…
