the weekend so far

soooooo..it has been a very low key weekend so far. and i imagine it will continue to be that way. last night, after a ridic. long day at work (got to the office at 6:30 am), t and i went out to dinner at my new fav restaurant. i found it in an article here, but hadn't had a chance to check it out until now. bare burger has three locations in the city (murray hill, nyu area and queens somewhere). it has literally every type of burger you could ever imagine on the menu. think ostrich, elk, turkey, chicken, lamb..you get the point. to start off, t and i shared the pickle appetizer. when they arrived at the table, i was in heaven. 

if you know me, you obviously thought: oh, duh, they were in mason jars..no wonder she flipped. if you don't know me, i love mason jars. just thought you should know. 

t was very happy with his diet root beer. yes they have that sh** on tap.  for my burger of choice i went with the veggie burger in a lettuce wrap with a side of cranberry/spinach salad. it was bomb. com. it also has swiss cheese, onions, avocado and delish djon sauce. i was a happy camper. t got the bison burger, which was tasty too! (i liked my veggie better though) so after seeing the pic below, who wants to go back with me??

as for the rest of friday night..it looked something like this:

and this

what the hell is wrong with this guy in the mask? seriously? also, i don't like ashley. she's no ali. not that i'm biased. 

aaaaand i also read every blog i could think of, finished kite runner and  may have gotten a spot in the NYC marathon. more on the marathon soon. this morning i did an easy 5 mile run and some lifting at the gimnasio. wow i haven't said in a long time. it was raining out and i was being lazy so i hit the 'mill. i also did some core exercises and other weights. pretty boring. 

it's cool. i know i look possessed. whatevs. one weight exercise that i did that i do really enjoy are modified clean/jerks using a 20 lb ball. (don't worry, i don't actually know what i'm talking about. i literally just asked tim what i did bc i had no idea). here is the movement from start to finish. ps  excuse my obstructive, sweaty side pony and herniated expression. 

 it's actually kind of fun and is an awesome core workout, but also works your arms and shoulders tremendously and gets your heart rate up. i did 3 sets of 12 with other ab/arms stuff in between. i know it looks really easy and i look weak and pathetic in my attempt. but it really is fun/hard at the same time. aaaaaaaand after working out....we ate bim bim bap. which if you haven't tried it, you need to immediately. it is the most delicious combo of veggies, mustardy garlic sauce, chicken and brown rice. need i say more?

okay, maybe i should because it doesn't look that appealing there? but it's SOOO good and you should try b-bap on 54th and 9th because they are really kind people and trying to make their business work. i highly recommend and it's not expensive either. plus, b-bap is cool inside. 

now time to think about dinner..
