Readers, let’s chat! Link up your favorite posts from the week in the comments, and as always, I’m wondering what the best part of your week was and what’s up for the weekend.
- Best part of my week? Seeing my friend Tim who is back in the United States from Germany! I also deadlifted 150 pounds on Monday (trap bar).
- This weekend? Fun wedding activities! Fabric shopping for bridesmaids dresses (my friend Shannon is making all 8 of them!) and registering at Crate and Barrel and Macy’s on Sunday. I’m also hopefully getting a new laptop and really looking forward to having Monday off. Fitness friends, I’m teaching at Oak Square on Monday at 10am if you have the day off and want to join!
Enjoy the weekend, and don’t forget to do something for YOU. <3
Thanks so much for the shout out, Athena!! That’s so cool that your friend is making your bridesmaid dresses, how unique and special!
Let’s cross our fingers that the black radishes are in our near future! That recipe looks great!
Two things: 1. Perfectionism does suck and it’s something I sadly know too much about (it sucking, not being perfect- but the WANT to be perfect kills me! 2. Burpee Suicide Ladder is on my list- what a torturously good idea 😉
have fun this weekend!! Can’t wait to hear how it goes. Tonight I’m going to a wine/tapas bar called Barcelona with some Recycle Studio friends which i’m excited about!
