The weekend is here, and it’s going to be beautiful!

That means ice coffee, a run around the lake, and reading by the water in a beach chair.

I’m almost done with Fifty Shades of Grey, and will be starting the second book immediately after.

While I agree that this book is extremely captivating, all of the hype surrounding the eroticism and fetishes involving the character’s relationship, seems a bit odd to me.

It’s 2012. Flip on your TV after 10pm and you’ll see borderline inappropriate scenes right in your living room.

Get over it.

I can however, understand why so many people are loving this book, and how it’s helping marriages around the world reignite that “spark” in their intimate relationship.

Hey, whatever works.

So…I bought some SunButter today, and I don’t think I’m a fan.

It was on sale for $2.99 at Market Basket, so I figured I’d give it a shot.

The taste may take some getting used to.  I’m not sure how I feel about it yet, but I know that it never replace my Raw Almond Butter.

I don’t think anything ever will.

What never lets me down at Market Basket, is their crispy chocolate chip cookies

Since I love slightly burnt toast, well done pizza and charred vegetables, these thin and crispy cookies are right up my alley.

And they are awesome  dipped in milk .

OK enough about dessert.

Before the gym, I had a yogurt bowl of frozen pineapple tidbits, blueberries, and Kashi GoLean cereal.

ABS

Since I sometimes make up workouts as I go, using notepad on my iPhone is so helpful in keeping track of my routines.

I ended with 30 minutes of HIIT on the elliptical, followed by a good stretch in the Yoga studio.

And some Organic Ginger Pear White tea.

Enjoy the sunshine!
