Sunshine in the Midst of Clouds
Our weather is still gray, rainy and cold.
But we did have a little sunshine for lunch!
Hello, hello! Hope your Friday is going well!
I woke up feeling a little “groggy” this morning—that second glass of wine last night was definitely a bad idea!
But, it was nothing that a good breakfast and workout couldn’t fix! I had two wheatabix cereal squares (love these!) with berries and soy milk, and around 9:45, my mom and I headed back to the Y for another workout! It was a good one—I alternated fast miles on the treadmill (3 miles total) with heavy-duty weight lifting in between. I was sweating buckets, which actually felt great!
After our workout, we came home, showered, dressed, and headed back out so that I could get my sister a gift for the baby shower tomorrow. She reads the blog, so I won’t post pics until tomorrow, but the present I got her is adorable!!! They make the sweetest stuff for little baby girls…it’s almost enough to make me want a baby right now. Almost. 
After our gift-buying, my mom and I headed to an old favorite for lunch: Sunshine Cafe, which y’all have heard me rave about again and again.
Today’s lunch didn’t disappoint!
Black bean tortilla soup:
Avocado sandwich (with white cheddar cheese and sprouts):
And a strawberry Kombucha to drink:
Yum! Perfect lunch. I topped it off with a 100 calorie Glenny’s brownie, which only added to the perfection.
Now we’re just kind of taking it easy. My sister and I wanted to get facials today, but they were all booked up! 
Tonight, we’re doing to see An Education, which I’m really excited about. The show is at 7:15, and we’ll be going to dinner afterwards, so expect a late post tonight!
Some of us are already tuckered out, before the weekend has even begun:
What a party animal.
Enjoy your Friday, folks!
today is SUCH a soup day! i want some now!
It is so a soup day!!! I’ve been craving tortilla soup for a while now! Maybe I’ll make it this weekend!
An education was really good, enjoy!
Lunch looks great! I don’t think I’ve ever seen strawberry kombucha…sounds like a yummy flavor to try though! Enjoy your evening and the shower!
Looks like a great lunch and good for you working out on a Friday, that’s usually my lazy day
wow, that sounds like lunch perfection! anything tortilla soup-y with avocado sounds heavenly
That lunch looks incredible — what a great combo.
I was planning to see An Education tonight but 30″ of snow = homebound.
That lunch looks amazing…that could totally be in my belly everyday of the week and you would get no complaints from me. I have decided that of all the bloggers out there…your daily eats are the ones I most want!! Seriously!
I’m loving the grape kombucha – it tastes just like grape soda to me
I’ve never thought of an avocado sandwich, but it looks good! Enjoy the movie.
The soup looks delicious…I love black bean anything! And it looks so healthy too.
Have a great Friday.
It was a rainy and cloudy day over here as well
. It definitely called for soup (although I had none). Yours looks so good!!
Black bean tortilla soup basically sounds like the things I love most in the world (black beans, tortillas and soup) all bundled into a fabulous little bowl!
We’ve got some sad lookin’ weather here too! I’m still a happy camper though
Sorry your trip isn’t giving you any Southern sunshine! I can’t lie, since I normally live in the valley of the sun, I am loving the dreary weather up in NYC this week!
ooh the avo sammie looks soo yummy and what a cute little doggy!
So sad that I was so close to you this weekend and didn’t get to visit. I tried a strawberry Kombucha for the first time this weekend, and it was quite the experience. I also went to a restaurant in Ruston called Counterculture, but I hear they have a couple of locations in Shreveport. Ever been to one?
