My knees are being such jerks.
All I want to do is get back into shape, and here they are actin fools. Rude. I don't know if it's an IT band issue, or what, but that's what I suspect. Who knew someone so out of shape could get an OVERUSE injury? This is probably the only time in my life I will ever have a problem with exercising TOO much.

My birthday was yesterday (Sunday), but we basically made the whole weekend a celebration of sorts. On Saturday, we sort of went for a run (more on that in a bit), went to an AMAZING dinner, chilled at Barnes n Noble, and went on a late night donut run. Yesterday (my true birthday), I had a massage, hung out at the Farmer's Market, and then we ran errands togetherJasmine @ Eat Move Writehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09728103566115498825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970014224523325200.post-61791212773643829112013-05-29T14:47:00.003-07:002013-05-29T14:47:28.852-07:00Me and My Brilliant IdeasToday, I had the brilliant idea to go to Body Pump.
This was after KILLING IT at the gym on Monday (read that, over 500 cals burned) and running last night with Ryan on super tight legs.
I went to Body Pump mostly because I never get to go. At my gym, the class is offered at 9 a.m. (after Ryan has taken the car to work) or 5 p.m. (before Ryan gets home with the car after work).

How was your weekend? Mine was good/busy/work-filled. BUT, yesterday, I went to the Wild Animal Park. The Wild Animal Park is a sister park to the San Diego Zoo, except it's the prettier, more accomplished sister in my opinion. Love that place.

Well... the truth is there is a flip side to every thing. Life is beautiful, yes, but it is also terribly, terrible tragic sometimes.

Yesterday, I had to go up to LA to meet my agent. Afterwards, JGago (who drove me up there) and I went to Santa Monica's 3rd and Promenade to have lunch and walk around.
We ate at Le Pain Quotidien (The Daily Bread). It was diviiiiine. Very authentic French country.
I ordered a tartine with ricotta, figs, and agave nectar. To die for. My phone pictures don't do it justice.

I wanted to give you some tips on how to make a great omelet.
First, I highly recommend using liquid egg whites. So much simpler.
These cost about $3.75. Significantly more than a dozen eggs, but they save so much time. Worth it.
