Day 1 St. Augustine Trip!

August 1, 2016

   
 We stayed at the Bella Bay Inn which was right across from the Marina and O.C. White's Seafood Restaurant. It was perfect because it was right in the middle of everything!



 Another Inn that we may try out another time

 

We ate here at Harry's Seafood, Bar & Grille and really enjoyed it.

We always order a seafood platter when vacationing in Florida!

 The hubby ordered the seafood platter which was amazing! I ordered the she crab soup. The only problem was that the bowl was way too much and I barely put a dent in it because it was so rich. The hubby helped me finish it.









We purchased tickets to visit the Lightner Museuem
 








 We watched the music show where the lady played these old music players - so amazing! Definitely a must if you visit St. Augustine!






 This is where I would like to stay next time we visit St. Augustine- The Casa Monica Resort & Spa


 This is the restaurant where we ate the last time we visited. A little expensive, but a really great restaurant! We really enjoyed the mojitos :)

      
 We went to both St. Augustine Beach and Vilano Beach- both amazing! We brought our Angry Orchard Beer with us & enjoyed some tanning.

For lunch we went to Stir it up right off the beach and had some healthy quesadillas and burritos


 

  We had to try the Kookaburra since I heard so many great things about it! We ordered the fair trade drip coffee which wasn't that great. I think an espresso would have been a better choice. I'll try it next time we visit.


This was the spot that we ate breakfast at during our trip. 



  We ordered the gluten free egg, cheese and bacon sandwich.




 We stopped in at the St. Photios Shrine- it's a quick tour but interesting, and it was nice to cool off for a minute (St. Augustine is so hot in the summer!)








 We had dinner at A1A Aleworks and it was so romantic in the evening. Hubby had the shrimp & I ordered the salad and the she crab soup. This is a very popular spot in St. Augustine- it's crowded every time we visit! The food is so delicious and we will definitely be back again!

Ready for Summer!!

March 3, 2016



Happy Thursday lovies! It's almost Friday- yay!! The weather is finally starting to warm up here in Georgia and I for one, could not be more excited about it! I love the feel of sunshine on my face- goodbye cold weather! 

Summer is my favorite time of the year- I'm so looking forward to relaxing at the beach and catching up on some reading! Today I decided that it was time that I get my butt in gear and start running & eating healthy, drink more h20, etc! So in order to keep myself accountable, I plan on coming here and keeping you guys updated on how my new healthy lifestyle is coming along.

This morning I ran for 30 minutes and plan on running 30 more minutes with the hubby this afternoon. I noticed that it was really easy to start downing much more h20 while running- who knew! Running has also given me that extra pep in my step and I love how it helps to clear my head. I am super excited about getting healthy + losing the 6 lbs that I gained over the holidays + losing an extra 5 or so more. I plan on adding in lots of green juices, raw foods and salads back into my diet.

I'm cutting back on dairy, sugar, meats and alcohol. The best eating plan that I tend to lean towards is the Paleo and the Whole 30 Plan + Gluten Free but I usually do my eating plan without so much protein. Pork is definitely the worst protein and I don't even like it in our household- it's super unhealthy & loaded with artery clogging fats!! 


Who else is excited for Summer? Are you starting a healthy eating plan already or starting soon?
