I love April because it’s my birth month! Though my birthday isn’t until April 27, the whole month just feels more fun. 😀
Of course March was pretty fun, too…
- We went to the Florida Strawberry Festival
- We bought a Vitamix!
- We won the Wicked lottery
- Our friends Dru and Carrie got married
Strawberry Shortcake
Yummy recipes from March included:
- Peanut butter protein bars (Make these!)
- Kale and sweet potato fritatta
- Peanut butter cup smoothie
- Oatmeal pancakes
Oatmeal Pancakes
And, last but not least, some sweaty workouts from the month of March:
- 30 minute treadmill workout (Seriously intense!)
- 25 minute incline walking/running workout
- Express weights workout
Here’s to another fun month on PBF! And, as always, thanks so much for sharing this journey with me. 😀
Lunch
Lunch today was a special one since I got out of the office for a bit. Unfortunately the lunch was to celebrate one of my coworkers’ last day with the company (she accepted a position with another company) and I’ll be sad to see her go!
A small group of us headed to Dexter’s in Thornton Park for salads and sandwiches.
I ordered a veggie sandwich on whole wheat bread with lots of smoked gouda cheese and dijon mustard.
Veggie Sandwich
It was fantastic and I inhaled every last bite. Just what I needed to fuel me through the last few hours of work!
Back to the grind…
Question of the Afternoon
- What is one thing you’re looking forward to this weekend?
I’m so happy that Ryan and I have no real commitments this weekend! We’re free as a bird and hope to use this time to possibly visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal tomorrow. I love going into the weekend with no real obligations on my plate.

Tonight I’m going to a local gay bar with some of my friends. 80s music and no creepy guys hitting on us? Score! Tomorrow is my adorable niece’s 3rd birthday party.
Yay for April babies and for Tauruses!!
My birthday is April 26 and not only the month is special, but the year is very special. I’m turning the Big 30 this month and celebrating by doing a 30 Days of reflection on my blog for everything that I’m thankful for 🙂

P.S. I just started reading your blog, and I love it! You have so many great tips and ideas, it keeps me motivated to eat healthy, workout, and just be healthy!!
Happy Birthday Month to you!! We share the same bday. I love the whole month of April even though we have to wait until the END to really parTAY! 🙂
Sooo jealous~~I hope to visit the Wizarding World in June when I’m in Florida=) This weekend, however, I have big plans to sleep in, get acupuncture, & do my last semi-long run (8 miles) before my 1/2 next Sunday!!
Horray to Harry Potter at Universal. We are going there on our next vacation {first time going to Florida just to see it}. Have a great time! I can’t wait to read about it.
April is my birth month, too!! And my husband and I accidentally went to HP world on its opening weekend on our honeymoon (we didn’t know that it was that weekend but we embraced it! I love HP!) …it was soooo crowded! We’re looking forward to going back someday when we can really enjoy it.
Weekends with no obligations are my FAVORITE. That’s this weekend for us…so we’re using it to pack!
Dexter’s has the best sandwiches! YUM!
