Saturday Night & PureFit Bars

If you follow me on Twitter, you may already know how I spent my Saturday night. Jason & I had a very spontaneous "date night". We started the night in the most romantic place you could ever imagine...Lowe's, then he treated me to Target and we finished our "get out of the house" night with some On The Border (via a gift card). It really was a great night. Especially after working all day in the front yard. Some big beers and Mexican food is just what we needed.

I did go to my spin class last night, and it hurt so good! I did leave my portion of sweat on the floor. If you ever see me at the gym, watch your step, you may slip on my sweat.

Before I left work, I knew that I needed a little something to keep me going until I got home (at 7). I had some PureFit bars in my desk drawer. I tried the chocolate brownie flavor. Free anything chocolate, you don't have to ask me twice! The good thing about these bars is that they taste great!! They are high in protein (18g), gluten, dairy and wheat free and only have 210 calories (for this bar).  The bar kept my energy up and kept me satisfied until I got home and showered. I can't wait to try their other yummy flavors!

Some of you have asked what we've done in the house, so I've decided to keep you guys more up to date. I will post as we make progress. This is something I did the first week of moving in. We had this old planter box and this area doesn't get any direct sun and it tends to get pretty swampy when it rains a lot. So, I took out the entire thing. No use in wasting space, plus I can use the dirt elsewhere (we have a lot of little holes all over the grass). Bye bye planter box. 

How do you spend your Saturday nights?

Farmers Markets

After I relaxed for a little and woke up Jason, we headed out for some errands we needed/wanted to do. The best errands are the ones you want to do.

The first stop was to the Nugget grocery store. I needed to find some tzatzki sauce for some Greek burgers I'm making in a couple days. Jason and I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. So, finally, we asked for some help. We had 3 people looking for us, but no one could find it. Finally, they sent over near the bakery, and this guy said he would make it for me. I love this store, if they don't carry it, they will make it for me.

So, we went outside (there were a lot of samples being given away). They even had a vendor giving away free free-ranged all beef hot dogs. It was so good!

5 minutes later, I heard my name over the pa systems and I got my sauce.

Next on the list was Target. I wanted to get a bright green running tank (cheap), so Jason could see me at my next race. I couldn't find anything I wanted there (or at Sports Chalet, which we went to next). I'm very picky about my clothes. I also was looking for some popsicle molds, but couldn't find those either. I got everything else that was on my list and headed out to the best part of the day.

A Farmers Market!! I love going to these, and when they're only 10 minutes away from home, it's even better!! Here's all the fruit we picked up: strawberries, nectarines, peaches and plums.


The veggies: carrots, garlic (2 cloves), bok choy, artichoke and a zucchini.

We got all of this for under $16.00!! What a steal!!

How is/was your weekend going? Any races or farmers markets?
