A Fun Night With The Girls

Good morning!

Last night was FUN! I saw some girlfriends that I hadn’t seen in a long time. It was so much fun catching up. I didn’t get home until very late, so you can understand why I didn’t want to post a recap at 1:30 in the morning. :)

So….many of you guessed right with respect to what shirt I decided to buy! However there was a little trick. Click ‘continue reading’ to see what shirt I wore!

Many of you guessed that I got the white top featured in the first picture. Well that is half true! I did get that style of top, but I got it in the beautiful sunset orange colour- my favourite!!

I love this shirt. :)

We went to this wonderful little restaurant uptown called Terroni. They feature Traditional Southern Italian Food. And was it ever good!

 The girls around the table:

Starting clockwise with Sarah in Black, me, Laura, Jen, Shelley, Melissa, and Jane. I went to high school (well, my last year of highschool when I loved to Ontario!) with all of these girls except for Jane. I met Jane in my grad program. :)

Laura and I:

Laura and Jen are getting married this summer (not to one another, hehe)! I am going to Jen’s Bachlorette party on May 9th and possibly her Stag and Doe end of April. This is going to be the summer of weddings I tell ya!

Sarah and I:

Jane and I:

For dinner most of us had pizza! I asked the waitress if they had any vegetarian pizzas and she said you HAVE to try this one. It has eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, garlic, peppers, etc. No Cheese :D It was probably the best pizza I have ever had at a restaurant! SO authentic!!! It was the thinnest crust I have ever seen too. I love thin crusts. :) Eric and I will definitely be going there at some point!

We ordered two bottles of wine for the table and I had about a 4 oz. pour of white wine.

After dinner, we decided to walk over to a nearby bar called Fionn MacCools which is an Irish Pub. They had a wonderful live band playing and it was really fun!!

At the bar:

At the bar I only had about 1/3 of a Coors Light. I was driving home so I obviously couldn’t drink. I’m not much of a drinker anymore so I don’t know if I would have even drank had I not been driving home!

I left Toronto around midnight and got home just before 1am. I was pretty tired on the drive home but I cranked some club music on the radio to keep me going! Eric got home from Zac’s place around the same time and we chatted for a bit about our night before hitting the hay.

I was wide awake early this morning and only got about 6.5 hours of sleep…I made a Green Monster to try and revive my tired self:

The Contents:

• 2 organic Kale leaves
• 1 shot of POM
• 1 handful baby organic spinach
• 1/2 Banana
• 1 Tbsp Flax
• 1 Cup Almond Breeze
• Ice

After drinking this I felt much more awake! I’m also going to reintroduce Green tea back into my life. I cut it out after I became severely addicted to the caffeine in green tea. I was drinking about 8 cups a day at one point! I think if I have just a couple cups of day I should be fine! :)

See you guys later for Yesterday (and hopefully today’s) workouts! Also up on the agenda today- a Beauty Product Review and what arrived in my mailbox! Don’t forget to enter the POM Wonderful contest if you haven’t already!

Today’s Question: Do you have a favourite ‘go-to’ bar or pub in your neighbourhood? What is it like? What is your signature drink?
