Playlist + Bachelorette + Food

I hope that you all enjoyed your weekend. The highlight of mine was definitely my presentation to the gymnasts on Saturday along with my friend Lina’s bachelorette.

I did nothing on Friday night. I just made the granola bars and sat on the couch with some cheese, wine and a bowl of soup. I was pretty wiped out from the week. I decided to sleep in and have a leisurely Saturday morning rather than getting up and rushing to workout and then make my presentation. It was a nice change of pace.

After the presentation I downloaded a lot of new music and made a pretty killer playlist for my yoga classes this week.

I’m too lazy to separate it by song and artist but I think you can figure it out based on this format. I know I need to create a Spotify account for y’all! The cover of 500 Miles that I played as the first song was pretty stellar…as was the cover of Scrubs (listed as No Angels, the XX v. TLC). I use a lot of remixes and mash ups.

I went shopping for a gift for the bachelorette party later that afternoon. It is so much fun to lingerie shop for friends! After shopping I quickly hit up the gym where I did my treadmill sprint interval workout and the following…

10 x 3

Deadlifts (115 pounds)
Pull ups
GHD sit ups

Then it was time to clean up and get party ready. We had dinner and drinks a Vivace.

Lina is so beautiful inside and out and I was so happy to celebrate her! We met in teacher training three years ago and it was kind of “friendship at first sight.”

10.12apps

We snacked on a bunch of apps including a cheese and charcuterie plate, mussels, brushcetta and more.

10.12dinner

And I had a ricotta ravioli with artichokes and chicken that was pretty fab. We went out uptown after and had a really fun evening. That part of the night will go unpictured. 😉

10.13brunch

I made brunch after teaching my Sunday morning yoga class. Pumpkin spice waffles with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. I did some cleaning and then went to practice yoga.

10.13snack

Snack after practice was a cheese plate with apples and crackers.

10.13dinner

And dinner tonight after a walk with the pup was homemade spaghetti sauce over spaghetti squash and a salad. I am totally in love with spaghetti squash right now. Although it releases so much water and does not make for a pretty dinner photo!

Off to relax and get ready for the week.

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

So Many Dinner Ideas

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
