365 Challenge 22.0

Last week didn't really start until Friday for me.  Once Friday hit it was pretty much non-stop. Friday night we did hibachi followed by the Ride to Montauk on Saturday and shopping on Sunday. I have no idea how I survived work on Monday but as soon as I got home from work I made dinner and fell right to sleep. Now that I have recovered here is how my weekend went. 

On Saturday DH and I did the Ride to Montauk. Although I had a great time the ride itself nearly almost killed me. I definitely need to train more for the next one. 
Picture
My morning started at 5:45am. Most people would cringe at the idea of getting up so early on a Saturday morning but I was waaaayy to excited so I didn't care. 
Picture
Once we made it to Montauk (and after my near death experience) we showered and stuffed our face with burgers and beer. Nothing makes me happier.
Picture
One of the best perks of this ride was the food. They had fresh baked pie at one of the rest stops. It was amazing. I think I ate a little bit too much. 
Picture
Somebody went a bit crazy with the free beer. I think he was a bit overwhelmed at one point. 
We spent the weekend in the city so on Sunday while DH went out to do the Brooklyn Bike Tour I opted for some shopping in SoHo with Mom followed by brunch. 
Picture
First stop was Necessary Clothing. I love this place. I especially love their clearance rack down on the lower level. Stay tuned later this week to find out how many pieces I picked up on Sunday for under $100. 
Picture
After shopping we went to brunch to one of my parents' fave spots. My mom threatened me not to share the place or location but if you follow me on Instagram or squint really hard at this picture you can figure it out. HINT: It's in my hood and it is amazing. 
Picture
After the bike tour DH joined us for brunch and tried his first Michelada. It was really good. He didn't care for it much.

A lot of people ask me how I manage to have a full time job, go to the gym, cook most of my meals and blog.  All this while making it to bed by 11 every night. Oh yeah and I kinda have a social life too. I am not too sure how to answer that but guess what. Life has finally caught up to me which is why I have been a bad blogger lately.  I think planning for my summer has pretty much pushed me over the edge. As of Memorial Day Weekend I pretty much have plans for every weekend through mid July. I am pretty sure I am going to spend most of August sleeping. Haha. There is lots to look forward to and although there may be days  when I won't be posting I promise I will have lots to share when I get around to it. In the meantime here is how my week went. 
Picture
The reason why I love my gym so much is because they always have a new class for me to try. (And no they are NOT paying me to write this). Last week I tried a class called surfset. I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun this class was. (Look it up on youtube). Can't wait to try again this week. 
Picture
I spent the better part of Saturday doing some spring cleaning. This is the mess that is kinda still taking over my bedroom. Living in NYC closet space is at a premium which means spring cleaning involves putting away the winter clothes in storage and taking out all the summer clothes. I have waaayy too much crap so it is a bit of a task. Might be done by the end of the summer. 
Picture
We decided to do date night on Friday instead of our usual Saturday.  We tried a place called Cellar 58 down in the east village. It was edible. We ended the night with wine and desserts at Sambuca's Cafe. One of my fav places.


Picture
We spent Sunday playing tennis by the beach. Lots of fun. Only problem is that I have been sore for over two days now because the last time I played tennis was over 5 years ago. I suppose I will survive.

Remember at the beginning of the year when I said I was going to take a picture a day for 365 days. Well let's just say that went down the drain this week. I totally fell off the radar mid week last week. I did make up for it this weekend. It started off with a lot of wine and ended with the Five Boro Bike Tour. 
Picture
I started re-reading The Great Gatsby early last week. Such a great book. I might re-read it about 4 times before I am done. There are lot of fund Gatsby inspired outings coming up so look out for some OOTD posts. 
Picture
After dinner I met up with friends to celebrate my girl Mandi's birthday. As you can see from this impromptu photo shoot we had a lot of fun (and that was before we even managed to leave the house). It goes to show you that all you need is a few bottle of wines and great friends to have a good time.  Disclaimer: Mandi is taking the pictures. Not sure how that happened. 
Picture
Friday night I went to one of my favorite spots in Hells Kitchen, Stecchino. You have to try their shrimp burger. It is amazing.
 
Picture
Saturday night we prepped for the Five Boro Bike Tour by loading up on Pasta. You know I love food so I of course went to town. 
...And now for the highlight of my weekend. On Sunday morning we woke up at the crack of dawn and find out way to lower manhattan for the Five Boro Bike Tour. This tour is a 42 mile ride through New York City's five Boroughs. It is a traffic free ride which is always a treat and it is a great way to see the city. This was my second time doing the tour and I have to say it was just as amazing as the first one. I am soo excited that I had the opportunity to do it and cannot wait to do it again. This time I did not stop in every borough to take pics but I did manage to get a few shots. Here are some highlights from my day. 
Picture
You know I had to come up with an "outfit" for the tour. I went for graffiti pants and Chuck Taylors. Haha.  Some guy asked me what my pants meant. Ummmm.. I didn't realize I had to have a story prepared. I just told him they are crazy graffiti pants. I mean do they really need an explanation. HAHA
Picture
I had to take a moment in Brooklyn to admire the New York City skyline. It was a gorgeous day. I am not sure how I managed to get back ont he bike and finish the ride. I totally wanted to just sit here and enjoy the view. 
Picture
We were the first round of riders to start at the finish line. It was great because we were able to finish the ride in about 4.5 hours (better than last year) and did not have any back ups to deal with. Our longest wait time was at the starting line waiting to go. 
Picture
And my favorite moment of the day of course involves food. Waffles at the finish line. Yum.

I ended the week with a long weekend in Atlantic City with the fam. It was a mostly relaxing weekend. Lots of wine, naps and food. My idea of a perfect weekend. Even though I had a great weekend I am even more excited about the weather that is headed our way. We are looking at 70s and even 80s this week. Cannot wait to bring out my peep toes. 
Picture
Day 91. One reason why I love my gym. "Cycle Karaoke". Great way to start my week. 

Picture
Day 93: Another favorite class at my gym is called "Pound". It is sooo much fun but beware you will be sore for days afterward. Another great workout. 


Picture
Day 95: Another ootd pic. I will be posting about the outfit later this week. Stay tuned. 
Picture
Day 97: One of my guilty pleasures. I eat this stuff about once or twice a year and I just had to have it. Just because I am skinny does not mean I do not eat. I can throw down like none other. 
Picture
Day 92: I cheated on Tuesday with my photo a day. The day just flew by so I decided to capture my post for the day. 
Picture
Day 94: I waited until the last minute to pack (as always) and ended up packing 5 pairs of shoes for one long weekend. Most would think that is excessive but that is quite normal for me. And yes I did wear each and everyone of them.  BTW guess which shoes I only paid $10 for?
Picture
Day 96: I spent most of the day on Saturday laying by the pool and in and out of the hottub. It really doesn't get any better than that.
