off to DC!

Yipee for Friday! I hope this day speeds right along, so we can get on the road to D.C. We will be spending the weekend in our nation's capitol to visit some friends and family. We have my nephew's 2nd birthday party on Saturday and then we head straight to an engagement party after. We will be staying with one of my best friends while we are there, so I am excited to catch up with everyone!

Mike, my friend, and I are planning to get up tomorrow to do a fun run around the monuments and such before we head to my nephew's birthday party. I always get really excited when I get to change up our scenery and course a bit. Hopefully I can snap some great pictures along the way. My friend is mapping out a good course so that we can do a mini tour along our run as well. We have been to DC a million times, but it will be fun to see it from a different view.

Lately, I have been really wanting to go out to eat. I think the weather and busy schedule I have had, just make me want to ditch the kitchen and leftovers, and go out and grab lunch outside. I have tried to remain in control though, since we will be eating out and probably not our best for the next few days. I have stuck to homemade meals and packed lunches, so that I can have a little wiggle room this weekend. :)

Yesterday's lunch was a really good, but pretty simple chicken salad. We have a bunch of leftover chicken from Sunday night's unhealthy dinner, so I have been topping my salads and such with that lately. The chicken has a cracker coating (that I tried to brush the majority off), so it made for an almost fried chicken salad taste. Really yummy!

I used a Caesar vinaigrette dressing, and it was a great flavor combination.  I am having pretty much the same thing for lunch today.

This morning's breakfast was grapefruit (thanks to Mike) and a piece of honey wheat toast with chocolate chip cookie dough almond butter.

I am already starting to get hungry for lunch, so I might have to make that happen here shortly. Am I the only one who tries to wait as long as possible to eat lunch so that the rest of your day speeds by? I am going to leave a little early today, so I think I can manage on an earlier lunch.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!
