Tired Girls | Green Dog Wine

After being up and about all day Saturday – the whole GDW family was T-I-R-E-D! Poor Mike had to get up early and go back down to “Law School Event Thingy” – but Lando and I slept in until 9am! That’s unheard of! Both of us are usually up like clockwork at 7:30! (Me, just because of my internal alarm, Lando – because she’s an eating monster!)

Even though I woke up late, I still had enough time to make some coffee, breakfast, and make it to the gym for my spinning class.

Breakfast: FlatOut with PB, Pumpkin PB, and 1/2 of a honeycrisp:

Once I got to the gym, I ran into my bloggy friend/reader Heather! We’ve talked for months now (she lives in the Cleveland area and teaches at the gym I go to – but our paths just hadn’t crossed yet!) Hi Heather! Thanks so much for introducing yourself – it was so great to meet you!

After the gym & showering – I hit the grocery store to spend the remaining $14 left in the Thanksgiving Challenge. And by $14, I mean $14 and then some.

My favorite treat that I purchased (which then became my extremely nutritionally sound lunch):

I mean. Did you expect anything less from me?

The rest of the day was a blur! I took Lander on a long walk, did a whole bunch of work on my laptop (blog & work stuff) – and then decided I needed a kick @ss healthy dinner to make up for my “chips and dip lunch”

Here’s what I came up with:

Hugh Jass Salad with:

romaine
sun dried tomatoes (I have a problem!)
butter beans
cucumber
yellow bell pepper
banana peppers
red onion

Continuing with my sun dried tomato obsession – I figured it was only appropriate to test this dressing out:

Very average. The taste was fine. Not great, not bad. A little on the oily side. I think it would make a better marinade than a dressing.

And as if that weren’t enough veggies – I ate the rest of the leftover roasted veggies from last night:

and that’s about as exciting as my Sunday got! I had plans to go to bed early, and wake up early to work out – but I couldn’t fall asleep until after 12! You can imagine my morning workout didn’t happen.

Here’s to having a 3 day work week!

LOL Chips and salsa for me. Not a fan of dairy. I’ve ate too much of that lately!

UGH I’m back to my insomniac ways. I didn’t go to bed until after 12 and was up at 4:30 for a 5:30 am spin class. As you can imagine I’m barely coherent right now. I maybe should have slept in like you and said skip it!

My JRT will sleep until noon if I let her. The standard poodle though gets my mom at 5:30 like clockwork. I love that mine doesn’t do that she wouldn’t live long

Glad you got a long rest in and give Lando an extra big cookie for her helping paw in the matter

Ugh, I hate it when sleep ruins exercise plans. Some nights I want to be out by 8 and other times my brain doesn’t turn off.

Sleeping in with the puppers is the BEST! Glad you got in a nice workout and had an overall relaxing day. Love all your veggies at dinner- roasted veggies are seriously so good. Enjoy the three day week!

You betta rest up for the serious fiesta you have coming up! Can’t wait to see some tequila up in here!!!

Ugh, not falling asleep til after midnight sucks.
The roasted veggies look devine!

Hi Allison!!! Have fun on your vaca!!

You’re making me crave chips and dip – Ruffles and Sour Cream and Onion dip was a staple in my childhood.

Woo – crazy day

And chips – that’s the Allison I know and love.

Isn’t that frustrating when you’re so tired and just can’t fall asleep?! I felt like that last night too!

Hope you had a great day!

I slept in on Sunday as well but I missed my spin class. I did make it yoga.

Great food day for you

Yum! I love PB & PB. Such a great combo.

hooray 3 day work weeks! mmm that salad/dressing look epic! take me to mehiko!

That flat0out looks fab! And yay for the impromptu blogger meet-up I hate when I cant fall asleep til late! That totally happened to me last night. So annoying! Hope this night is better for ya!

I hope you have so much fun on your vaca! I can’t wait to have that French Onion dip when I’m home for Thanksgiving. Its always at my aunt’s house as an appetizer.

Roasted veggies are one of my favorite fall treats….along with pumpkin everything, which I see you are taking advantage of!
