It’s my birthday! I feel like a lot of people have been sad about being quarantined for their birthdays, but I really didn’t mind. The weather was beautiful, and I just wanted to make the most of it.
Breakfast:
Berry cheerios and my protein hot chocolate creation: 1c soy milk, 1 tablespoon dark cocoa powder, 3/4 scoop of chocolate protein powder.
After breakfast, I visited my favorite produce stand and came home with a big box of fruits and veggies. That place just makes me so happy.
For my workout, I did 6×3 heavy squats at 175-185, followed by a modified Filthy Fifty. I remembered doing this on my birthday a few years ago and wanted to revisit it! I’m definitely fitter than when I did this maybe 6 years ago.
Lunch:
One of my current favorite salads: Pear Gorgonzola dressing, blueberry goat cheese, and chicken. With a side of Cheddar Veggie straws and some homemade chocolate my sister sent me for my birthday.
Birthday cake:
Check it out! This was made 100% from scratch and I was very impressed. It is gf chocolate cake, with mint chip gelato and chocolate on top! SO good!
For my birthday, all I really wanted to do was sit outside, watch baseball, and drink beer. I picked up some beer from a local brewery, and streamed a 2019 baseball game. I miss that! Jackson also came outside to hang out.
Dinner was kind of random. It started with homemade cheddar biscuits, a recipe that is sort of my own.
For the biscuits, sift together the dry ingredients, then cut in the butter. Once the texture is crumbly, add the milk. The mixture may need to be worked with your hands a bit. For these, we added some cheddar too!
Dinner was broken up my a Zoom birthday party with my vet school friends. The second part of dinner was thrown together, but got the job done! Some grilled chicken pulled from my freezer with ketchup, and green beans with balsamic glaze.
I had a great birthday, and felt the love from everyone in my life! The whole day just made me so happy.
