A Restful Weekend

This weekend was the first weekend in a while I didn’t think about workouts after Friday’s 5K.

I spent the weekend with my cousin Melissa and we had a great time.

We rode the bikeshare around town.

We ate a great brunch on Bourbon’s patio, including complimentary donuts.

We shopped and [...]

Back to Boot Camp

This weekend was one of those great weekends that make me wonder if every day would be that awesome if I didn’t have a job. Probably not, but I like to dream. Highlights included:

One relaxing night in, one night out for dinner and drinking with friends Sleeping in until 10:30 am Sunday (!!) thanks [...]

Do What you Can

Sorry for the long posting hiatus. I think it was the longest I have ever taken off from blogging. In the last two weeks I have taken 4 flights, spent over 24 hours road trippin’, and stayed in 4 different hotels. Needless to say I’m excited to get back to normal life.

This weekend I [...]

Calm Before the Storm

OK that title may be a little dramatic.  Starting tomorrow I’m going to be out of town for 12 out of the next 13 days (four different trips/locations).  I love traveling to cool places for work and to see friends and family, but I get overwhelmed being away that long. 

I’m going to Chicago [...]

A Weekend to Recover from the Weekend

Have you ever had a super busy weekend, and come Monday you feel like you didn’t have a weekend at all?  I need another day to recover from the madness.  And to catch up on sleep!

Weekend Recap: Carb-Loading Edition

Since I was feeling a little under the weather, this weekend was kind of a bust.  Friday night Neil had plans with co-workers, so I went home to take care of the dog and ended up falling asleep embarrassingly early.  I feel like such an old lady these days.  I am really looking forward to being more [...]

Welcome to Miami

Our trip to Miami has been a great combination of relaxation and activity.

Day 1 (Friday) was all about relaxation. There was a lot of this. And some of this. We did hit the gym in the morning for a little lifting session, but otherwise we did a lot of eating and resting. We did [...]

Weekend Recap: Mostly Wordless Edition

As I mentioned in my post yesterday, on Sunday I drove to and from NJ for a wedding. I got back around 2:30 am and now am at work, hence I will not be wordy today.

Weekend highlights included delicious eats from the blogger meet-up, Chats with fabulous ladies – from left to right: Kristin, [...]
