Weekend Recap with a LOT of Food

Do you ever have those weekends where you feel like you’ve just been crushing a ton of food?  Well that was for sure Craig and me this weekend…but I’m not mad about it.  We finally decided to cave in and use Postmates for the first time to deliver us our dinner on Friday night. And then we used it again for dinner delivery on Saturday night.  Oh man…it’s dangerous. Anyways, this is going to be a Weekend Recap with a LOT of food but I definitely wanna back up a bit before the weekend to Thursday.

If y’all follow me on Instagram, then you might have seen my Instagram Story about a surprise date night that Craig took me on after work.  Long story short he recreated our proposal evening and we had a picnic under the tree where we got engaged! It was so sweet.  I just love him 🙂

Charcuterie and champagne

Friday after work I knocked out a workout at the gym before heading home.  I did the full body circuit workout (which I’m still sore from doing) and finished with an incline treadmill walk for some extra cardio.  I had a little extra champagne from the night before that I could sweat out 🙂

Then yes, enter Postmates.  I know we are a little behind the 8 ball here but we finally caved and used Postmates to deliver our dinner.  We both were craving burgers but didn’t want to go out to eat.  I’ll be honest I came home and showered and immediately put on my pajamas so…I didn’t wanna go anywhere, lol.  So we ordered Bad Daddy’s and awaited the delivery with our dinner.

Drooling again just looking at that.

Saturday morning I was up early to get my run in before it got too hot.  I did 5 miles and it was a good run although I was still feeling a little sleepy!

Craig and I decided to get out of the house and wander around a bit around Charlotte.  We don’t usually do this because we either sit at home plenty or we have plans and are out and about.  So we sort of spontaneously decided to go grab lunch and then go to a brewery to hang out.

We got Mac’s BBQ for lunch…Craig got the BBQ platter and I got the BBQ chicken salad, then we went to Sugar Creek Brewery for beer (for Craig) and wine (for me).

Then we came home and passed out.  Haha nothing like a little Saturday afternoon nap after a yummy lunch & brewery trip!!

And then…Postmates AGAIN.  As I write this I feel like holy crap we were lazy this weekend but really we’ve been active and productive too, I swear 🙂 Chinese food for dinner!!

We really don’t eat out as much as we did this weekend.  It’s usually only once per weekend we will eat out, and we cook all of our meals and lunches during the week.  But we were out of groceries (hate when that happens) so whatever, we ate out. Or, we ate in.  Ordered in.  Whatever 🙂

For some reason around 9:30 we decided we wanted to go on a walk so we put on our sneakers and went for a couple mile walk.  And then decided to go to the grocery store so we didn’t have to do it on Sunday!  See…still active and productive.

Sunday we got up early and went to church but before hand I had some yummy oatmeal with blueberries, honey, and almond butter alongside my coffee.

Then lunch later in the day was sort of “brunchy”…I made ezekiel bread toast with smoked mozzarella cheese, eggs, and sprouts.

We went on another walk on Sunday evening to get some steps in.  My body was pretty sore and tired but I like a Sunday stroll and a light stretch for some active recovery.

We have a fun trip planned soon and we leave in just a couple of days!! I can’t wait for y’all to see 🙂

Be sure to check back tomorrow because I’m doing the follow up post to “How to Set up your WordPress.org Blog and Bluehost” post with “How to Select and Install a theme for your WordPress.org Blog!!”  If you’re just catching up, I’m putting out step by step guides on how to start your own blog!  You can find all of the posts by clicking the top of the page on my menu where it says “Free Resources” then the drop down bar that says “blogging”.  If you’d like to get my free “How to Start a Blog Checklist“, click here and I will send it straight to your inbox 🙂

What was the best thing you ate this weekend?

Did you do anything fun this weekend besides eat & drink, which is always fun obviously!?
