1) I’m back home after a glorious 3 days up at the lake house. I did absolutely nothing other than hang with the hubs, read, catch up on my much needed food network, ate out a couple times and helped myself feel bloated. Chips, pretzels, m & m’s and golden grahams anyone?
2) Okay, okay, okay, I did get a nice run in and a very stretching morning insanity workout (cardio recovery). Those were 2 nice things.
3) I’m feeling a little off target this morning after a weekend away. I didn’t do my usual meal planning + grocery shopping. Instead I hopped over to Costco + a stop at Freddies on the way up to the lake house.
4) I hoped I wouldn’t have to pick up much more for this week, but then the tables turned. I left all our food in the fridge at the lake, completing spacing it from my brain not realizing it until the second we walk in the door at home. Whoops!
5) I guess groceries will be a bit more than expensive this week.
6) I quickly meal planned hoping to go to the store last night, but I’ll run by after work. 3 things I’ll be making? Quinoa corn chowder, black bean burgers and rice n beans.
7) I landed a spot teaching cycling on Thursday evenings at the Marshall Center! Remember that being one of my September goals? Well I guess it needed to be an October goal.
8) In less than 2 weeks I have my weekend of body pump training… I hope to get my materials this week to start learning the choreography.
9) I want to start running at least twice a week. I’ve kind of fallen off my running wagon and seem to only run once a week now. It makes me feel rusty and clumpy, but I want to feel graceful and light.
10) We have been eating meat again. Like I mention before, I added in fish and Jacob had a burger. Over the weekend whenever we ate out, we ordered something with meat. So far none has been purchased for the house… maybe we’ll keep meat for special occasions outside of the house?

The weekend was awesome! The weather on the east coast has been summer like and I’m enjoying every second of it. Lots of outdoor time this weekend and it felt oh so good. Nothing major to report here, but if something does happen, I’ll report back. HA! Have a great Monday!
ooh, fun! what kind of choreography does Body Pump have???
It’s full body strength training with barbells… Muscle building!
Quinoa corn chowder!? I can’t wait to see that recipe! YUM!
Sounds like such a great weekend! Sometimes you just need a weekend of nothing but relaxing!
Very true!
Looks like you had a great weekend! Mine was fun but nothing too exciting! They always go by way to fast!
Always WAY to fast for sure
Ooohhh I hate leaving groceries behind! I’ve done it way more than once or twice when I go shopping over lunch and leave them in the break room refrigerator…
Whenever I grocery shop at lunch I have to put a reminder on my calendar because I leave them in the fridge too! That’s never fun.
I’m glad you had such a nice weekend!
Great you got that class!!! 🙂
Have a great week!
I know I’m so excited to have 2 classes to teach each week now 🙂
whoooooops! Its hard to remember to grab things you left in the fridge! Congrats on the spin class! You will do great at pump training. Good stuff. Quinoa corn chowder? mmm
The chowders SOOO good, from daily garnish.
My weekend was pretty chill actually! I still have the day off today though because of Thanksgiving in Canada 🙂
An extra day off is always exciting! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Before I became a vegetarian, I saved meat for when I ate at restaurants. Now that I’ve been considering incorporating some meat, I think I’ll go back to it because handling raw meat gives me the heebie-jeebies!
