Double Date

Boys at the bar, watching football:

Leaving Nicole and I ample time for girl talk.  Smile

 

Hope your Sunday is going well!  I, for one, cannot believe it’s already 3 PM.  We slept very late and did little besides lay on the couch.  Eventually, I dragged myself into the kitchen to prep breakfast:

Toast and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spinach, and chives.

And then we went to Mellow Mushroom for lunch.  We took Nicole and Isaac out to lunch as a ‘thank you’ for watching our dogs a few weeks back.

 

Beer drinkin’ and football watchin’ ensued.

Nicole and I split the stuffed mushroom app – somewhere under all that cheese is a yummy Portobello mushroom cap with artichokes, tomatoes, and feta.

Isaac and I split a gluten- and dairy-free pizza.

The toppings were his idea:  black olives, tempeh, tomato, and pineapple.  Weird combo – but pretty good.

Key lime pie innards for dessert.

I DESPERATELY need to summon up some motivation to go on a run and lift weights.  But the couch seems so appealing… I’m going horizontal again.  Hopefully, I’ll come up feeling inspired to exercise.  A girl can dream.

    That is the cutest little pie EVERRRRRR! C’mon girl, get off the couch and get movin’ movin’.

  • Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga October 30, 2011, 3:25 pm

    I’m procrastinating my workout, too, and playing with my google reader instead 🙂

    But off I go. Hope your workout goes well!

    I think it is just a lazy Sunday all around! I am reading blogs with my coffee and about to watch a couple Halloween movies 🙂

  • Sarah October 30, 2011, 3:46 pm

    Oh, Mellow Mushroom! I’m a little jealous you have one near you!
    There’s just something about Sundays that has me wanting to just lay around, too. I just woke up from a nap myself:-).

  • Sarena (The Non Dairy Queen) October 30, 2011, 3:48 pm

    I’m having such a lazy day today. I refuse to feel guilty for it either. Enjoy your workout!

  • Susan October 30, 2011, 3:48 pm

    I have to do laundry and change the cats’ litter. I am sitting on the couch surfing the web instead. I have a cat curled up next to me purring away. Guess I’ll have to actually give them fresh litter to justify their love.

    • CaitlinHTP October 31, 2011, 10:25 am

      Haha i love this comment. did you change the litter?

  • Mary @ Bites and Bliss October 30, 2011, 3:51 pm

    Sounds like a good day to me!

  • Julia H. @ The Petite Spiel October 30, 2011, 4:05 pm

    You have a Mellow Mushroom near you? Jealous!
    My best friend has one near her college, and when I visited her last summer, we went there for dinner. My mind was blown. We got one of the pre-designed pizzas, and though the toppings seemed a little random, it ended up being phenomenal. I want to go back!

    • CaitlinHTP October 31, 2011, 10:27 am

      I love MM. They have awesome sandwiches.

  • Yolie @ Practising Wellness October 30, 2011, 4:17 pm

    Hahaha – sometimes going horizontal can be so good! In a non-dirty way, lol! 😛 And in a dirty way too of course. But anways…enjoy! And that relaxing lazy sunday sounds perfectly lovely 🙂 I adore double dates! xyx

  • Jacalyn October 30, 2011, 4:18 pm

    It’s so difficult on a lazy football Sunday to get to the gym… you can do it! You’ll feel so good when you do!!!

  • Courtney @ The Petite AthlEAT October 30, 2011, 4:39 pm

    Hey! Get your butt up and run! You never regret a run, only the runs you miss. 🙂

  • Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife October 30, 2011, 4:45 pm

    Have a good nap–and can NOT wait to hear about your run and weights later tonight!!! 🙂 hehe.

  • katie @ KatieDid October 30, 2011, 4:45 pm

    Yup the couch totally won for me today. Too much studying and too little motivation ehhh. The pizza sounds like an interesting combo, I’ve never had tempeh on pizza.

  • Amanda October 30, 2011, 4:47 pm

    I’ve been having the same trouble getting motivated to run today…..all I want is 2 miles, and yet I still just lie on the couch :))

    • CaitlinHTP October 31, 2011, 10:27 am

      Did you run??

  • kathleen @ the daily crumb October 30, 2011, 4:51 pm

    it is waaaayy too easy to get sucked into the couch on sunday afternoons! i for one am horizontal and have no plans to move the rest of the day 🙂

  • Ash @ Good Taste Healthy Me October 30, 2011, 4:52 pm

    haha I was lazy today too…well on the gym front. I cleaned the floors and whatnot but never ended up making it over to the gym.

  • Lisa (bakebikeblog) October 30, 2011, 4:56 pm

    love the look of that that scramble!!!

  • Traci October 30, 2011, 5:27 pm

    ah…stay cozy on the couch. I managed to pull myself off the couch for a run but it was WINDY and cold. (Boston)

  • Amanda @ AmandaRunsNY October 30, 2011, 5:49 pm

    I’m always saying to myself…I need to workout. But a break is a good thing. Sometimes, it helps me to remind myself that I think an easy workout is a four mile run and that for a lot of people that’s a HUGE workout.

  • Brooke @ sweats & sweets October 30, 2011, 5:55 pm

    I too have not done my exercising today, holding it off till tomorrow morning because we were so busy yesterday that I needed to rest all day..or at least thats what I keep telling myself so its true. Ha!

  • Emily October 30, 2011, 5:58 pm

    Couch: 1, Emily: 0. I also had intentions for an 8-miler today, but errands and football won for me. A weekend off from exercise never killed anyone, right?

    • CaitlinHTP October 31, 2011, 10:28 am

      Absolutely not 🙂

  • Katie @ Peace Love and Oats October 30, 2011, 6:32 pm

    Remember, you never regret a workout! And ah I miss Mellow so much!!!! They are really the best pizza place…

  • CJ @ http://healthy-happy-whole.com/ October 30, 2011, 6:51 pm

    Mellow mushroom is so delicious. When i lived in TN for a summer we went there on an outing and oh my gosh, the pizza is just perfect, a good bit of crunch but also a nice gooey cheese taste. your pictures made my mouth water!!!

  • Tracy @ Tracy's Treats October 30, 2011, 6:52 pm

    I haven’t had key lime pie for such a long time! Yours looks really good and now I’m craving it!

  • Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin October 30, 2011, 7:05 pm

    I’ve had such a lazy Sunday too. I blame it on all the studying I have to do!

    Enjoy your vegging or workout, whichever you decide on! 😉

  • Krystina (Organically Me) October 30, 2011, 7:09 pm

    I love tempeh on pizza. Our Mellow Mushroom has the best seasoned tempeh as a topping and I get it almost every time.

  • Jen October 30, 2011, 9:51 pm

    GF pizza that’s dairy free and served with tempeh?! Wish there was a Mellow Mushroom near me! 🙂

    • CaitlinHTP October 31, 2011, 10:29 am

      Mellow mushroom is so veg- and food-allergy friendly!

  • Lisa October 31, 2011, 3:21 pm

    That dessert looks amazing….mmmm!
