If you’ve followed my instagram or blog for a little bit, you may have noticed I blog about more than just nutrition. With my philosophy, I think it makes sense — for me, there’s more to life than what we eat and how much we exercise so I try to incorporate other things that are important to me– mostly friendships, random life stuff, faith, travel and hobbies — into this space. Thanks for being here for that.
Last weekend, I was finally able to see two of my best friends after a very long hiatus from each other. It was well deserved. While I definitely have friends that are different than me (beliefs, hobbies, interests, etc) and I LOVE that, I feel like Kate, Amber and I are cut from the same cloth. We all prefer staying in to going out, cooking together instead of eating out and going for a run or bike ride to start a Saturday morning. And I really needed a relaxing weekend like that.
We arrived at Kate’s house. I was the last to arrive because traffic from DC to outside Philly is the worst. We spent most of the afternoon/evening talking and catching up. We ate burgers and a salad and I forgot to take a picture of it lol. I did take a picture of these adorable vases & flowers though!
Saturday we woke up at different times. Kate went for a run while Amber and I did the Peloton. I kind of felt like I was going to die so I didn’t go too hard. It’s nice that I’m able to take it easy if I want to instead of feeling like I need to crush every single workout.
Breakfast was eggs, english muffins, avocado and fruit. It was delicious!
It was maybe 10 or so by the time we had breakfast. I don’t really remember what we did between then and 12 but I did have some time for journaling and thinking — I’m finding the introvert in me needs this daily, which is weird because I never pictured myself as someone who thrives while alone. We also sat on Kate’s porch and talked about random things and watched Leila (Kate’s dog) meander around the yard.
Around 12 I realized I was hungry again and asked if we could go get lunch before we went to the lake because I knew I’d be hangry if I waited until we were done (#intuitiveeating). We stopped by this Italian deli and I ordered a hot salami, asiago, tomato, black olive and lettuce sandwich 🙂 Kate and Amber ordered different sandwiches/pasta.
Fiiinally we made it to the lake! I feel like Kate takes us here every time I come visit and I always love it.
After we walked we went to get ice cream at Oh Wow Cow.
Then back to hangout at Kate’s house. I learned about this personality test and eventually we made pizza.
A friend from college stopped by to say bye to Kate before going back to Austin, and then three of us talked for the rest of the night.
Sunday morning we woke up, relaxed and got ready for church. After the service we made breakfast, chatted on the back porch and made Jeff (Kate’s fiance) take a picture of us 🙂 Kate’s mom made these incredible blueberry scones and I asked for the recipe, knowing I’ll probably never make them as good as she did.
Amber and I headed home around 1230 or so, and I spent the next 4 hours baking in 85 degree weather because I needed (and still need to) to put freon in my car :-)))
I think there could have been a time where I wouldn’t have wanted to post something like this because it’s not as *exciting* as some people’s idea of a fun weekend, but honestly I live for slower weekends. I like having honest, sometimes hard, conversations with a few people I really trust. I like relaxing and quiet time and walking outside. There’s totally nothing wrong if you’re on the other end and there are weekends where I’m more outgoing. But this is normal for me — and I think important point is: you do you. Don’t let someone else’s idea of fun or “normal” make you feel obligated to do x, y or z.
Journaling prompt: What does a fun/ideal weekend look like for you? What (if anything) could you change to make your weekends serve you better?
