You know how I wrote yesterday that sometimes I feel like I don’t work out “enough?”
Well, I realized before I went to sleep that I’ve worked out for seven days in a row.
So you better believe today is a rest day. This actually the first rest day in a while that’s felt forced to me–I’ve been on a pretty good workout kick again lately. But don’t worry, I’ll still be lifting a glass to my lips tonight as I celebrate Cinco de Mayo. (Cinco de Mayo 2010, apparently I forgot Cinco de Mayo in 2009???? Also, a lot of my pictures in old posts are missing since moving from Tumblr to WordPress–if anyone knows how to help with that, I’d be forever indebted to you…) I love margaritas, despite how many calories they have, but there’s a cocktail I read about in Tina’s book that I may try tonight if there’s not already pitchers of margaritas on the table. (While I believe you need to listen to your own body, I also believe sometimes in just going with the flow.)
I don’t have the book with me, but I think it’s tequila, soda water, a splash of lime juice and a splash of Diet Sprite. (I doubt most bars have Diet Sprite, but I suppose I’ll ask anyway.) If you’re in D.C., walk, don’t run to the Rio Grande. Best. Margaritas. Ever.
This morning I had the cookie dough oatmeal again. (And Tuesday. And Wednesday.) It looks so pretty at home but so gross by the time I get to work. There’s nothing green in it, so I have no idea why it takes on that hue.
HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!
why haven’t you told me about rio grande until now? not cool, theodora, not cool at all.
@Emily: How did you not know about it?! While I am most intimately acquainted with the Bethesda location (which has awesome huge windows that open onto the street), I think there’s also one in Arlington.
Too funny you mentioned taking a rest day after working out for 7 days — my IT band started bothering me yesterday and I couldn’t figure out why. Turns out I had worked out for over 2 weeks straight! I definitely took a rest day yesterday 🙂
Rio Grande is so fun, but it gets so crowded! Better get there early to secure a good spot, especially since it’s so nice out 🙂
Ha! I thought the picture of your oatmeal was supposed to be what you would be putting in the toilet after drinking shots of tequila, not actually your breakfast! Silly me!
Perfect that your rest day fell on Cinco de Mayo! Oats clearly are photo shy due to the fact that they are like..the least photogenic food in the world!
Did u know there is a rio grande midtown? Best margaritas !
