Weekend Recap!

Hey friends! Happy Monday!   At least now it is over…right? It was rainy and dreary to start the day so it was extra difficult to get up and moving today.  But I got my workout done at lunch so I could come home and relax! Aka work on my blog and new workout program.  Haha most of my evenings are occupied with working on the blog somehow 🙂 but I wouldn’t have it any other way! It is what I love and enjoy doing so I am in no way complaining.  I thank every single one of you for being here to read and connect with me!

So here’s my little weekend recap. I love sharing a glimpse into my life with y’all and these posts are so good for that 🙂

Friday night we went out for pizza & wine. Craig doesn’t love pizza but will go with me if I beg him enough!  Ha, no but really, he likes Mellow Mushroom so we went over there.  Then that night we headed home to watch the new Netflix original series that just released, Mindhunter.  We like crime dramas and podcasts of that same thing so we wanted to give it a try.  We watched 1.5 episodes of it and we had to stop…it was way too graphic for me and the things that were going on and the explanations of the crimes were seriously so sick.  I couldn’t deal.  It seems interesting though, so if graphic language, sex, and brutal crimes don’t bother you then you might enjoy it!! Haha.

Saturday I went on my longer-ish run and did 7.5 miles.  My legs were deaddddd from my workout but ya gotta just get it done you know?  Then I posted up real hard on the couch to rest the remainder of the day. There was a Harry Potter marathon on so that made it easy.  I also crushed a huge protein pancake with yogurt & peanut butter on top…YUMMM.

Sunday Craig & I took some blog pics and we went and got donuts to reward him for helping me! Actually both of us really like the idea of donuts but I don’t think we actually love donuts themselves.  We ate these and I sort of instantly felt like crap ha.  Too much sugar apparently can be a real thing.  Oh but they are so pretty aren’t they?!

Sunday night we decided to go get all you can eat sushi…

Followed by froyo, because that is the natural end to a sushi dinner in my mind.  I am forever always wanting froyo after sushi! Anyone else with me? I told Craig we should open a sushi + frozen yogurt franchise…it would KILL ITTTTT.

Those are the highlights friends! Be sure to send me any questions you have for the weekly Q&A post coming on Wednesday 🙂

Have a lovely night!

xo,

Bess

    My husband and I are getting sushi tonight and more than likely getting froyo after 🙂
    Where did you get the cute sweater from your first pic?
