great day
this morning, Michael and I met at the Central Square T stop to head off to the Wellbridge Athletic Club. We got there just in time to catch the "Abs & Back" workout class that started at 11am. THe class really kicked our asses (or rather, our stomachs) so I was glad we went. After that we just stretched and stuff until the Pilates class from noon to 1. That class was also a really good workout, very similar to the class i went to Thursday afternoon (it was the same instructor). And they didn't make my knee/leg pain any worse (actually i think they're better!).
After the classes were over, we wanted to go to the hot tub, but Michael had forgotten his swimming trunks. So we left the club for a bit and went to EMS down the block, to see if he could buy some. He ended up not finding any in his size, but he found a cool cycling jersey (and i found a cool North Face running top for only $10!)
So after we got back to the club we went swimming (the water in the pool was insanely warm!) and then in the hot tub. It was great..it was very relaxing. I'm glad I got to go there with Michael this time..I had been wanting for him to see it.
By the time we showered and got out of the club, it was after 3pm, and we were both starving. But Michael wanted to stop by Eye Q Optical to look at glasses, so we did. We spent about 20 mins there, with Michael trying on frame after frame. Then we wandered around to find a place to eat, but unfortunately all the places we tried (this Indian place, and then CasaBlanca) were closed after 3pm (and didn't reopen until 6). I suggested going to Veggie Planet, since i know they had vegan options (i'm in no way a vegetarian, but with this new diet i can't have anything with dairy in it).
So we had no idea where veggie planet was (all I knew was that it was in Harvard Square). We stopped into Hartnett's and asked, and one of the workers there (she was sooo friendly!!)showed us that it was just a block or so away (it's right by Border Cafe). It's good that we asked for directions, because even with the address i don't think we would have been able to find it..it's pretty well hidden.
Anyway, we thought long and hard over what to get, and in the end we ended up with 2 very delicious meals!! I ended up getting a "double header" (two selections) over coconut rice...the first Vegan Curry (broccoli, fried tofu, slightly spice curry paste, and crushed peanuts) and the other was called Henry's Dish or something (it was butternut squash, caramelized onions). I think the 2nd one came with cheese but i asked to leave that out. It was VERY good. Michael also got a double header, the Blonde on BLonde (tofu ricotta cheese, mozzerella cheese, and some spices) and Portobella Mushroom (with tomatoey sauce). He really enjoyed his as well. We were both blown away at how good vegetables can taste!!
