Weekender

Well guys, it was pretty close for a while, but the big dogs won the Marriage Ref Friday battle! Growing up we had medium to large dogs until my family adopted Arnie, who’s a 20-lb terrier mix.  We always say we should have named him Napoleon though!  I always knew I wanted big dogs to wrestle, run, and play with, but I would definitely say that if there’s a dog who’s sassy like Arnie I wouldn’t mind a small one.  No froofy ones or teacup Chihuahuas though!  Speaking of large dogs, here are mine in typical Friday afternoon fashion:

There are days that I would do just about anything to lay on the floor (yes, you read that right) with them and snuggle 🙂

Lunch was basically a replica of our Wednesday night dinner:

Traditional meatballs:

Traditional risotto with mushrooms & Parm:

And a big Romaine/carrot salad:

I gobbled it up, but let a little of the salad…apparently I put too much dressing on it and I got tired of that real quick!  Since I am taking a break from walking because of my knee, I decided to hit up the local Panera bread for some iced tea and a snack while I read outside:

Not too shabby, right?  Honestly, today at work was OK, but it drug on and on and oooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn.  Now I’m pretty exhausted, so I’m thinking a little napper is in store before we head to Amy’s for drinks!

What are YOU doing this Memorial Day weekend?  Any fun plans (and please note that sitting on your hiney definitely still counts as fun!)? We are going to sleep in tomorrow, maybe smoke some brisket, and do some photos for our friend Jonah who’s about to release his new CD.  There’s also talk of camping, but from what I know it’s not 100% sure just yet 🙂  If we go I’m sure there will be some fun pictures though!  Happy weekend y’all!

    I hear you on wanting to lay down on the floor and cuddling with the dogs and sleeping. I do that from time to time in our living room floor with Sadie… she is just so cuddly I can’t resist.

    So far we have done nothing. I have cleaned and done load after load of laundry. Today though we are meeting some friends for brunch and then going to a friends engagement party 🙂

    Love the romaine / carrot salad, what’s the dressing?

    Awesome start of the weekend sweet treat! Yum! I didn’t know Panera made that.

    The meatballs is making me drool like a pig. It also weirdly looks spicy, which makes me drool even more.

    Camping sounds great! I’ll be in Boston with various things to do including a half marathon and maybe some mountain biking (which I’ve never done and am terrified of.)

    Happy long weekend!

    I’m a little late, but I really want one big dog and one little. That way I’ll get the best of both worlds!! I hope to do a whole lot of nothing this weekend and revel in the fact that I don’t have to go to work on Monday! Oh, the joyyy!

    Heck, I am just hoping to get to the park for a little bit. My husband has been working his butt off behind his drawing board so he really needs to see some sunlight!

Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! Just two gals who crushed a 50 minute run today! 

As we move into goal setting for the new year, may I suggest starting with your physical health? Not to fit the bikini body mold that society normalizes, but to actually BE as healthy as possible. When everything hit the fan for me this year I dug into two things that have been integral to creating positive growth and a healthier mindset: 

1️⃣ my relationship with God
2️⃣ my physical health

What that’s looked like for me on the health front: holding fast to my commitment to whole food nutrition, grace for the days when I choose otherwise, pushing myself to lift heavier in workouts, and taking up running again. 

What’s happened as a result? When I push myself physically, when I choose to practice discipline to do what I know is best for my body, it makes it infinitely easier to choose that same healthy discipline in every other area of life. You want to dominate your goals? Start with your health!
Remember when I blogged about food? 😂 Gosh the Remember when I blogged about  food? 😂 Gosh the past few months have been nuts. I’m still over here figuring out how to eat well without sacrificing my life in the kitchen, and this is a bowl I couldn’t NOT share with y’all. The best thing is that everything is almost always on hand in my fridge, it’s packed with nutrition, and tastes AMAZING!

In the bowl:
-rice mixed with Trader Joe’s Zhoug sauce
-broiled shredded Brussels sprouts
-chickpeas
-baby  arugula
-grilled chicken breast
-Romesco sauce (from Trader  Joe’s but I usually make my own)
-a little  tzaziki sauce

This meal has been on repeat all week, only changing the rice for riced cauliflower and omitting the chickpeas on low carb days. YUM! I find that if I have a variety of roasted veggies, grilled chicken, and a few different sauces on hand I can almost always come up with a great bowl for almost any meal!
It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday It’s a beautiful day for Small Business Saturday y’all! Almost 4 years ago I took a leap of faith and said yes to this job in an effort to create another stream of revenue. I had NO CLUE that it would change my life for the better in almost every way, that it would reignite my passion for health and community, that it would provide in so many beautiful ways. But it has, and I am so thankful to all of you who have trusted me and supported me along the way. 

When you shop with a small business you are literally a hero in their eyes, validating and supporting and protecting them. You guys are my heroes, and I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to improve your day:

1️⃣ SMILE! Even if you don’t feel like it, smiling (even forcing it to the point of feeling weird) has actually been scientifically proven to improve mood, lower stress, and boost your immune system. I actually recommend doing it awkwardly around other people because it’ll make them smile too 😉

2️⃣ GRATITUDE! Right now, before you talk yourself out of it, say or write 3 things you’re thankful for. Big, small, or in between. In this moment I’m going to say sticky notes, my Le Creuset Dutch Oven, and the Hamilton soundtrack. BOOM!

3️⃣MOVE! Get up off your tush, right now, and move your body. Walk around your house, do some jumping jacks, lock yourself in the bathroom and do a little dance, whatever. This isn’t about looking cool, it’s about giving yourself a better day. 

Things are hard, ambiguity and uncertainty isn’t fun, but we can control ONE THING: ourselves. Praying that you choose to gift yourself a little bit of happiness today! 

Now, tell me below, what’s one thing you’re thankful for RIGHT NOW?
HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog HASHTAG MOOD. Y’all, I’m so jealous of my dog 😂 Who else feels me here? 🙋🏼‍♀️ #dogdays #2020mood
