Weekend Recap: No Plans Edition

I love summer, but this summer has been way too busy. The last weekend I was not out of town or having a visitor was 6 weeks ago! And the weekend before that was our reception, so needless to say I was excited to relax all weekend.

Run

Friday night after work I swung by [...]

Dinner Date

Today is my rest day so I have nothing interesting to report on the exercise front.  I did get a nice 1.2 mile walk with the pup, and will get another one later today at least.  I’m a bit sore from the class yesterday.

Last night Neil and I went to Cedar for a dinner [...]

I am not superwoman

I had big plans for Sunday: do an open water swim, go to a blogger meet-up, go on a bike ride and do a bunch of wedding stuff. And all of this the day after driving to and from a wedding in New York.

While I was driving back my cuts were hurting me [...]

Feeling like summer

It felt like summer today because:

It was in the 80′s before 9 am I got frozen yogurt as an afternoon treat Had dinner outside on a patio Saw fireflies

I cannot even express in words how happy I am it’s summer.

Since I couldn’t get away from work today, I took the long [...]

Founding Farmers

Yesterday I ended up having to work later than expected. It was only until 7 pm, but still not the way I wanted to kick-off my weekend. So unfortunately I didn’t have time to do my swim. I did take the long route home on my bike through Rock Creek Park, which I have been [...]

Lunch Date

As you all know I almost always bring my lunch to work. This morning I packed up a leftover black bean burger (with a wrap, spinach and laughing cow cheese to go with it), an apple, and carrots and hummus. Sadly, I left it at home.

Neil works in VA, but today he was downtown [...]

Dear Lungs,

Please stop coughing. Love, Liz

I REALLY hope I am feeling better tomorrow. I thought by Thursday this thing would be gone but tonight I’ve been coughing a ton so I don’t know. I haven’t been sick (aside from my usual stomach issues) in SO long. I’m sick of being sick!

For dinner, I [...]

Last Chance Swim

It has been a full 10 days since my last swim, so I had to get in a swim tonight before my trip.

Swimming is the hardest of the three sports for me. One, I did not grow up swimming a ton so my strokes aren’t perfect form. Two, I find it mentally challenging [...]

Scale Addict

Thanks for all the support on the bad weigh-in. I’m ashamed to admit it because I know it’s completely against everything I believe in for living a healthy and balanced lifestyle, but I tend to weigh myself WAY too much.

My plan is to break myself of this habit when I go to Spain. [...]

Vegetarian Deliciousness

I’m getting ready to head out the door for the DC blogger meet up, so this will be short & sweet.

Yesterday afternoon the Sweet Green mobile truck came and parked right outside my office!

I obviously HAD to get a cone, even though it wasn’t that warm out.

I biked home from [...]
