Hi and happy weekend! It’s been just crazy gorgeous in Charlotte so I’ve been soaking up as much time outside as possible. It is 77 degrees and sunny right now. The trees and flowers are so confused and some of them are starting to bloom already.
My Sunday morning was everything I needed it to be, minus an early wake up call. Zoey ate over half of a jar of cashew butter in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday (totally Tanner’s fault! 😛 ) so homegirl has been paying the price for such an indulgent treat. I woke up at 6 a.m. to the sound of her getting sick. She seems to be fine though and her energy levels and personality are just like normal.
I spent the morning juicing, reading a magazine on the couch, cooking brunch and walking with Tanner and the girls. Now I just did my weekly meal planning and I’m off to workout at Madabolic. They’re hosting a group of teachers from the studio for a special private class. I’m running to Madabolic since I have my car situation so it should be quite the workout.
Here’s a quick recap of last week’s workouts along with what’s on our menu for the week. Hope y’all have a great Sunday afternoon/evening!

YOU GUYS! It’s been SIX MONTHS since I wrote a recent eats post! (insert face screaming emoji here) These have been a mainstay on my blog for years.

I’m very much enjoying the longer days, cool mornings and warm afternoons and gorgeous blooms. Spring is so lovely [...]

I cannot believe it’s been nearly a month since I completed Moab Run The Rocks! It’s a three-day stage race in Moab, Utah that’s put on by the same race organization, TransRockies Rockies Race Series, that I did my six-day Colorado race with back in August. TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]

This potato and broccoli cheddar soup is a warm hug in a bowl. It’s a mash up of potato soup meets broccoli cheddar soup, and makes for a creamy, hearty and cheesy bowl that has just enough broccoli in it to make you feel like you’re getting your veggies in for a complete meal. POTATO [...]
