Who else is jumping up and down over a holiday weekend??!! Surely not just me!
Today when I get off at TWO, I’ll be heading straight to pick up Nick and then to Gainesville to stay with his brother & sister-in-law! We’re going to a big fireworks show on the 4th and spending a day at Disney on Saturday! Also…. THE FESTIVAL OF THE LION KING IS BACK!!!!!!!! Y’all, this is my absolutely all time favorite show in the world!! It was closed when I visited in May, but it’s back and you can bet I’ll be there! I’m lugging my huge old laptop with me so I can still blog though – seriously, that’s love! I’m in desperate need of a new laptop that’s more travel friendly for easy blogging!
Let’s chat about yesterday though because it was a good day and deserves some attention!
I saw an announcement on our local Whole Foods Facebook Page about Blueberries on sale FOR A DOLLAR!! And to top it off, they were having blueberry pancake samples. Needless to say, Whole Foods on my lunch break was an obvious choice. I bought 5 cartons of blueberries – gave one to my parents, I’m taking one on our car ride this weekend, & then I froze the other 3 cartons. I look forward to using my frozen blueberries in smoothies the next few weeks!
When I got home from work yesterday, I needed to pack, wash a few clothes, workout, eat dinner, & clean out my car. I went ahead and got my WORKOUT in. I did the 10 to 6 Workout again because I continue to feel like it defeats me and I’m so determined to complete the entire set of 10 to 6!
I got my area set up. The gym was pretty dead, so I had plenty of room. I’ve been pretty bad about bringing water to the gym, so I finally remembered that and believe me, it came in handy as I got farther into the workout! I also brought a small notecard to write out my workout. I’m going to start doing this because it really helped!
This time I made it 10 to 7. Not because I couldn’t have finished off the 6, but my dad text me for DINNER in the middle of round 7, so I completed it and then left to go eat. We ate at Newk’s which is my favorite place for a veggie pizza! It completely satisfied my hunger after that sweaty workout!
I went home and cleaned out my car just before the sun set and then finished up my packing. Now the Newt and I are waiting until it’s time for us to head out of town! I’ve been Newt-sitting for Nick’s brother & sister-in-law since the move, so I’m sure he’ll be glad to be back home with his people!
I also brought in my bag of food so the chocolate wouldn’t melt out in my car! Once I hit Starkville, I’m grabbing a Starbucks and then it’s open road from there! I’ll be checking back in with y’all tomorrow though.
Here’s some extra cuteness to start your weekend off with
- Do you freeze your own fruit for smoothies?
- If you can’t seem to complete a particular workout, do you go back and do it over and over until you can?
- What’s your go-to Travel Essential? – For me, it’s Starbucks!
