Hi friends
Do Sundays make anyone else feel extremely anxious? Despite getting my nails done today and going for a 1hr and 45 min hike, I feel frazzled. I think it’s because I didn’t get done what I wanted today. Argh.
You’re probably wondering what my title is about huh? No I’m not a RH of the Silicon Valley, though that would be highly amusing. I went to my first Dailey Method class on Friday, which took place in Menlo Park. My immediate thought was holy crap, I’m in a room full of women whom all could be on Real Housewives of Menlo Park. They were all somewhere between 30-55ish, quite beautiful, had some works done (well done, I must say), were fit beyond belief and sporting Lululemon like it was the uniform. Oh and they obviously didn’t work or happened to have the day off.
But perhaps you want to know about the class huh? It was great! I definitely worked all my muscle groups to the point of fatigue and even some cramping on the pulse movements. It was pretty intense, though it didn’t feel too hard at the time. My triceps have been burning all weekend.
I’d love to go more often, but at $20 a pop, I can’t say it’s quite worth that much. I’d probably go a handful of times per year though. I’ll stick to Spin as my main class-style exercise for now (which I did Saturday) 
After running baby-related errands on Saturday, Zach and I went to a new(er) restaurant in Mountain View for dinner: Barracuda. We started with some beverages:
One of those isn’t mine 
And ordered some apps of spicy edamame and crunchy sweet peas (not pictured):
Zach ordered a trio of items that also came with a salad and miso soup. I think there was some pork dish, chicken teriyaki and of course sashimi.
I went with a vegetable fantasy roll with mango salsa and unari (rice filled tofu skin).
Everything was so so good! I will definitely be returning here — in fact when my Mom is out in a few weeks, I may just have to take her with me!
As long as we’re talking about food, might as well share what I baked per Facebook request:
Um yeah, those would be peanut butter chocolate bars with mini Reeses PB cups on top, based off this recipe. Since I’m still keeping my sugar in check, I had a small square to make sure they were share-worthy and immediately packed them all up for my and Zach’s coworkers. Out of sight out of mind…I hope!
Alright, time to unwind with some vino and Olympics!
Ever felt like you were in the Real Housewives of…?
Favorite vegetarian sushi item?
Okay, those PB Chocolate chip bars look fantastic! Zach is going to be pretty popular in the office this week.
My favorite veggie sushi item is any roll with sweet potato. Not sure who thought to put sweet potato in sushi but whoever did is a genius!
Agreed! They don’t offer the sweet potato sushi roll at nearly enough places though!
I was actually super anxious yesterday too. I didn’t get things done over the weekend due to travels so I felt so rushed yesterday. Glad you got most everything done.
Those bars look awesome and way to keep your sugar in check!
Doing good so far Hollie!
It’s sad I recognized that recipe.
I have a problem. I need a baking blog intervention!
Not sad. Awesome.
I get anxious even when I do get everything done.
Love the title of this post! I’m still baffled why there isn’t a RHOMP or RHOPA in the works. Seems like a no brainer.
No kidding! Or Real Housewives of Atherton or Woodside!
I usually stress out a bit on Sundays. I always have so much to fit in that I’ve avoided all week long.
That vegetable fantasy roll sounds amazing! Now I have to look for something similar around here.
Sundays definitely make me anxious just bc I feel like its the end of the weekend :-/ It’s always worse when you have a ton of things to do on Sunday and you’d rather just relax. Hate when that happens!
lol oh well!
Love those PB chocolate bars!
YUM!
I had sushi last night- I always crave it during the summer! I usually get rolls with fish in them, though, not much of a veggie sushi eater.
$20 a pop for the class? Makes sense that all the women looked like Real Housewives! Haha!
Can you believe a year ago about is when we finally got to meet in person?!
That class sounds like a good one, but no matter how good I wouldn’t pay $20 a pop either. Yikes. I guess it fits the class “type” you mentioned, though. We have quite a few of those at my gym.
It was so great meeting you last year — you are just as sweet as I thought you’d be
The class was good, but I’m loving how accessible your BBB workouts are. They totally work in my lifestyle right now. Thanks!
I love avocado rolls but the “Hempster” roll I had on my birthday was awesome! (Avocado, carrots, cucumbers, and some kind of vegan bbq sauce!)
I’ve never see an episode of Housewife but sometimes I feel like I’m living around so many of the what I assume RH of Beverly Hills are like…does that even make sense? Sorry. It’s early.
Have a great weekend Shanna!
