SnowLESS Day, Measurements, Brunch, Rants

Sooooo the weatherman spread the rumor that DC was going to be hit with a snow storm. I don't know if they know it or not but if it's above freezing snow is unlikly. I didn't go to meteorolgy school though so they may have changed the rules. Either way I'm not really mad about it. I woke up to a lovely text saying that work was closed and immediately opened my blinds to find this....

I couldn't be mad. I didn't have to shovel nor did I have to go to work. Instead I went to a delicious brunch at The Coupe in Columbia Heights. I've been wanting to go there for months but it's insane on the weekends. I have heard you need to make a reservation 24 hours in advance. So we figured that since it was a Wednesday we could definitely get a table. The Coupe is the defintion of Hipster. At least thats how I would describe it. Half of it is a "dinner" and the other half is the bar. There are couches and lounge areas where ton's of hipsters were on their MacBook's. I'm not knocking them or the place because as I left I told my roomies how I want to come back and blog.

Anywho... on to the good stuff. What I ate. Since I've been "50% paleo" when ever I go out I treat myself with french toast. It's my favorite breakfast food. The classic french toast sounded good but the Vegan French Toast caught my eye. Why you ask...."Made with vegan baguette dipped in our mix of soy milk, chickpea flour and cinnamon, topped with apple & cranberry compote." Ummmm yeah! I literally ate every single bite.

I won't tell you how the rest of the day went but it involved chocolate covered almonds and pizza...whooops

Thursday I went back to work and was dragging a little. It had been 30 days since I took my measurements so I was due to step on the scale again. I got to work a little early so I decided to hope on the Arc trainer and watch Live!with Kelly and Michael..... big mistake. It is not recommended to workout before getting measured but I did anyway. I'm not saying it's the sole reason my measurements didn't come out as good as before because we all know I haven't been eating all that clean but I'm sure it did have a little bit to do with them...



Weight 123.5 thats up 6.5 pounds. 3 pounds more then before I went Paleo. I have been lifting heavy though and muscle weights more than fat.....
Bicep 10.5, 10.75 went up (result of the lifting)
Bi Flex 10.75, 11
Chest 33.25
Waist 26.5
Abdomen 27.75 (thank you french toast and pizza)
Hips 37.75
Thigh 19, 19
Calf 14, 13.5

Body composition all increased.... I won't even go there.....

Needless to say I need to get back on track. I'm home for the weekend so thats nearly impossible. I've already had girlscout cookies and my mom bought me not 1 but 2 bags of snickers peanut butter squares... I'm not bringing them back with me though. Monday is a new day and I'm just going to enjoy my time at home.
