>Hiii loves,
How art thou? Hope your having a dandy Friday afternoon. My morning started early…was in Scienceland before 8am! Nuts, I know. It’s a pretty lax day in the lab, I have two experiments running so not too much craziness–which is nice. I always feel so frazzled rushing around like a crazy scientist on Friday. I try to be like that only Monday – Thursday 😉
Yesterday wasn’t one of my best days. I was home sick with a badddd migraine. I took some ibuprofen and made breakfast in an attempt to rid the monster:
^Microwaved egg puff: 1/4 cup egg whites, spinach, pepper, dash sea salt
Delish as it was — twas no help. If you are unfortunate like me to suffer from migraines you will sympathize with my need to sleep the day away. I HATE days like these. But at least this guy was around to cuddle:
Fortunately my migraine only lasted til about 4pm, so I was able to enjoy some of the day. I started with a Green Monster:
^Frozen strawberries, blueberries, nanner, spinach, 1 tsp flax seed oil, almond milk, stevia, dash sea salt
After digesting, I set out for a 7 mile walk/run. I’d say it was 30%/70%. I decided to go easy on myself considering the chance the migraine monster could creep back any second. I snapped some pics of cute-sy Georgetown:
^Pic doesn’t do justice
And my favorite path alongside the Potomac River:
Feeling MUCH better, I spent the rest of the night relaxing with some snacks:
^Strawberry banana smoothie : Frozen strawberries, frozen nanner, scoop vanilla SunWarrior protein, 1 tsp flax seed oil, stevia, h20
^Diced Honeycrisp apple w/ cinnamon + mesquite
^Baked sweet potatoes : EVOO, sea salt, pepper, organic ketchup
And watching REAL HOUSEWIVES (PS. Who else is pumped for NEW JERSEY to start next week???) and tasting a little vino the Manfriend brought home:
^Yum.yum.yum.yum ❤
This morning I woke staaaaavin’ and whipped up my fav chia/oats creation: 
^Oats, chia seeds, 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein, 1/2 smashed nanner, raisins, cinnamon, stevia, dash sea salt and a blog of Cinnamon Raisin Swirl PB
[Insert 5 hours of experiments]
Grabbed lunch from Cosi:
^Was OK. Not the best salad but it’ll do: Spring mix, chicken, grapes, carrots, cucumbers, FF balsamic vinaigrette
[Insert 4 more hours of Experimentland + a few handfulls of trail mix]
And that leads me to the present. I’m about to run home (it’s supposed to rain all weekend so I gotta take advantage of the sun, yo) then meet the sis and some friends for MEXICAN and MARGARITAS!
Happy Friday!!! Have a great weekend!!!!
xx,
Laur
