Well, my weekend was off to a good start… my dad and I left work and picked up Panera for dinner ~ my mom was very happy with our selection!

I had the “you pick 2″ option with the turkey chickpea chili and the strawberry salad… It was delicious & I highly recommend this combination (or the veggie black bean) if you are making a trip to Panera Bread any time in the near future!  I think the pictures say it all…

This is what I was pleasantly greeted with for my last few spoonfuls!

My dad and I then rushed to the gym to hit the 6:45 spinning class; however the teacher was a no-show for the first 15 minutes and then she got there around 7:10… I never take this class, but apparently this is a running trend for her and the teacher doesn’t seem to care (I got that impression after someone confronted her about it)… kind of rude in my opinion!  So I had some high hopes because when she got on the bike she said I’m late, but I’m still going to give you a great workout… ok, sounds good… Well, let me tell you, it was HONESTLY…

the worst class EVER!

i mean just her form alone was very bad ~ she was leaning on the bike handles while we were supposed to be squatting on the bike… isn’t the whole point to use your legs and not rest your wait on the front of the bike?!  Then her sprints, well, I was joking with my dad that he was sprinting 10 times faster than her… she really looked like she was pedaling around the neighborhood… And on top of all that, every song she played had relatively no beat and sounded exactly the same… it was completely un-motivating… and she also opted to NOT use the microphone which was seriously frustrating… Anyway, I apologize for the vent because I was seriously irritated that my gym would pay a teacher for this class… I was not alone in my thoughts either, because believe me, I’m not usually this harsh, but when we left everyone was complaining!  Ay yi yi

Ok, now I’m done my vent… As a post-workout treat, I had a Pure Protein bar in chocolate peanut butter flavor… I actually enjoyed this flavor but was skeptical about it since I keep hearing how yummy the marshmallow flavor is, but this one didn’t disappoint either

Now I am off to pack for our weekend in Cape May (where we are applying for our marriage license and getting our engagement photos done)… hopefully I’ll get a little bit of downtime before bed…

PS… While doing laundry, I decided to make some blueberry muffins (using a Hodgson Mill corn muffin mix & my stash of blueberries), so that my family can enjoy them this weekend while I’m away!  Here’s a crappy cell phone pic ~ camera battery was charging!  I also ate one and now I’m REALLY full :/

We are leaving at the crack of dawn tomorrow (aka normal work time, at 6am I will be on the road, so breakfast may be portable, we’ll see), so this will be my last post until Sunday when I return, so I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and I’ll miss the blogging world (no wireless internet where we are staying at, by the way!)!!!!!!!!
