MIMM: Sidecar & Greenleaf



The fridge is completely empty (minus condiments and a tub of Greek yogurt). I'm even running out of oat flour for my protein oatmeal pancakes.

On Saturday, I woke up early to knock out my workout and in case my body was going to start churning like it did last night - cramps so bad I had to sit and almost went home, which hasn't happened since high school!

Boot camp to see my favorite "workout buddy," a man whose group I always join when circuit training. We have the same strengths so I can gauge my abilities.

I quickly showered and headed out the door to Kean Coffee for... coffee.

I was also waiting on the Sidecar Doughnut van as were at least 25 other people.

They brought 3 donuts - huckleberry, coffee-flavored, and cinnamon crumb. I went with the cheaper cinnamon crumb made with almond flour for $2, cheaper than than the other two ($3.50!).

I ate a corner and went in search of lunch.

I finally found Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop. I'm wary of salad places but got the most amazing salad and just-okay sweet potato fries, which I half ditched.

Lemongrass chicken salad with local mixed greens, chicken, grilled pineapple, mango, toasted coconut, Thai chili and basil, and a lemongrass lychee vinaigrette on the side

Without the dressing: ~282 calories. Not shabby at all.

Perfect size for lunch before and dinner after work.

The restaurant was gorgeous and has a cute market attached.

Awesome ceiling! ;)

On Sunday morning, I ditched my usual yoga class for a free Hip Hop Hustle class. It had the label of "hardcore" behind it. The hardcore meant 3 rounds of 5 moves for 1 minute each: burpees, jump squats, crab toe touches, walk out to push-up, plank knee-to-elbow in between the routine.

I just home from staff development day, had lunch, and am now preparing for my scheduled nap time! Then 4 days in a row of my PM job tonight but a few days off after that.


Have you tried a new dance format as an adult? I once took an adult ballet class not knowing that everyone had danced in their youth. Yikes.
Do you schedule naps?
