Beyond Late

It's Friday! But there's a question that must be answered. 

Where have I been?

 I know I missed a post that I was supposed to do on Sunday about family and health but I'll get to that later tonight. I'm super behind my posts and I apologize! I've been doing (and eating) quite a number of things :)

Homecoming was amazing and I'm so glad I went. 

Who needs a date when you got these girls? 

Dinner was fabulous as well! We decided to go to Carrabba's and it was my first time. 

I decided on the Tuscan Strawberry Salad with chicken and asked if they could substitute bleu cheese with goat cheese. 

Request accepted! 

I had a piece of bread as I was waiting for my entree. Mmm, I love carbs. 

Guys, just look at this beaut! 

  

It came with a strawberry vinaigrette which was to die for. 

This salad was a beast but nothing this girl couldn't handle :)

We then headed out to the dance and 4 hours later, came out as tired, sweaty blobs. I'll save your eyes on this one haha. 

For some reason, always after some sort of dance, I feel like time goes on hyper mode. I do not know where the week went! 

All I know is that I ate good food. 

With a sprinkle of good company :)

I've been trying to push myself in my workouts and my favorite way as of late? 

Plank challenges.

Yup, I'm talking to you Heather ;)

So far, I'm at 5 minutes! So cray cray. I can guarantee that there is always a puddle of sweat dripping from my face at the end of these. 

Try it people! If you have Instagram, hashtag #plankpower and tag me at haebinsmile. I'd love to see how far you can go! 

Whoa, it's 5 o'clock already?!

I'm getting older, I swear. 

Happy Labor Day!

Whew, we have now settled upon our happy abode and boy does it feel good! Since today's our day off, I knew I wanted to take things slow and enjoy my morning. 

Starting with my favorite meal of the day: Breakfast!

  

I wanted something sweet AND savory. I usually love my sweet breakfasts but I realized I need to incorporate more veggies and protein into morning meals. I scrambled one egg with baby spinach and tomatoes, sprinkled with salt and pepper. Winning combo! Sliced nectarine and toast with peanut butter on the side <3

After all that deliciousness, I had to finish reading the rest of the assigned chapters of The Grapes of Wrath thats due tomorrow. This went for a solid 3 hours and it was time for some brain fuel. 

A dose of my daily fruits and vegetables. Love the color, don't you? 

Another 4 hours came and went so I tried to take a break. I've been trying to make sweet potato wedges for the longest time but it always failed! What the heck? I thought that maybe, just maybe it would work today. NOPE. 

I ended up with dirty pans and one sad face. 

Lunch came early to help with my broken spirit! 

Multi-grain rice with left over Gob-Chang Jungol and a BIG salad made by yours truly. 

Unpictured grapes were eaten immediately to solve my raving sweet tooth! 

Planning to get in a workout later today after some roaming around with Mama and Papa Smile. 

Don't know where we're going but it's going to be good :)
