Hey all! Brunch is my FAVORITE time of the week - I used to think there was nothing better than a good brunch. Now I know something better: a hard workout and THEN a great brunch! I woke up at 10 AM this morning to hit up the gym. I had some Ezekiel Cinnamon Raisin toast with a tbsp of Almond Butter before I left:
Pre Workout Snack is 175 calories, 21g carbs, 9g fat, and 7g protein.
At the gym I did the Cardio Smorgasboard again: Treadmill with weights, Cardio Wave, Stepmill and Elliptical. It was a really great workout - I’ve just incorporated weight training into my routine, and I’ve really seen a difference in my arm definition. However, I weigh in on Saturdays, and this is the second week in a row that I’ve maintained. I did have a splurge on Thursday, but Peter thinks that my building muscle is the cause of maintaining this week. I also take my measurements on Saturdays, so I know I’ve lost inches, but I’m ready to see the scale MOVE again. On a side note, I’m looking to work on my lower abs. Does anyone know any specific moves to work this area? Cardio smorgas = 493 calories burned.
P and I went to a new place for brunch called Nero’s. The only table available outside was on a slant, boo - so we ended up eating inside, next to the open front area. It was a really cool interior though, I had to take a picture:
None of these pictures are coming out too well, boo. There were stained glass windows right behind us that cast a blue light on everything.
Anyway, even though this place had an all you can drink brunch (!), I decided to stick with my other brunch drink love, iced coffee. I’ve had too many poor decisions made under the influence of booze these days.
Peter and I split a fruit bowl to start:
I had half of this. This fruit was amazing! The most flavorful cantaloupe I’ve had in a long while. And then I had the blueberry pancakes. I was really craving these - so I had em!
I had a few forkfuls of syrup, but these really didn’t need anything. Breakfast was 600 calories, 89g carbs, 22g fat, and 15g protein.
And to close, here’s me with my new purse. Have a great day!
That fruit plate looks delicious! What area of New Yew is Nero’s?
Hey Casey! It was seriously the best fruit plate I’ve had in the city. It’s in Meatpacking, caddy corner from Pastis. - Kate
I’ve heard great things about Nero’s - love your fruit bowl!!
Cute bag!!
mmm brunch looks good! and super cute bag–I love longchamp and have one in dark brown : )
VG - Thanks! It was delish!
Sarah - Thanks - Dark brown was my second choice, but since it’s going to be my spring/summer bag, I went with nautical blue.

I aim to please - thanks!
Oops, I commented in the wrong place. Nice purse, I’m glad you made it to the store.
Yeah, finally! Thanks!
