Stress-Filled Days & The Weekend

These last few days have been a blur. I was extremely not just work, running, working out, yoga, and then some. I have also taken on an exciting opportunity that will let me tackle fitness coaching...but more on that in the future!

Anyway, I described in my last post that I was going a little insane at work and how running & yoga have been an absolute necessity to keep myself from exploding. With the days that followed, there was not much relief. So I stuck close to my workout plan to help relieve the anxiety that has been developing! This added stress is also a motivator to start working towards my own life goals. Every day something doesn't go my way is another reason why I need to really pursue my dreams.

I was thankful when 5:00 came on Friday. I had homemade pizza and wine to enjoy. In fact, I incorporated my Chardonnay into my yoga session on Friday night. I think I may start making this a weekly tradition.

This is how we do it!

On Saturday, I took it easy in the morning.

I may hate winter, but I love being able to take my time on Saturday mornings since I won't do my runs until the afternoon. It gives me time to chill! I cannot wait to live a life were I can run whenever I want to though.

Then my sister and I joined a few other ladies out at a small restaurant called Pure & Simple. We were having a meet up for those who have joined an accountability group I created in late December. Because everyone was working hard, I thought it would be awesome to meet up and discuss what we have accomplished while eating a healthy meal!

I had a Veggie & Hummus wrap with guacamole added. :)

It was da bomb and I intend on having our next month's meet up there as well! Some suggested we go bi-weekly! :o)

Later that day, I managed to get a run in. It was warmer that afternoon, so I was able to hit the streets rather than subject myself to another treadmill run! I decided to switch my long run day to Sunday and do 6.2 miles that afternoon since I still had a ton of stuff to do around the house. No harm done.

But once our day began to settle, I got around to making this gem.

This was great! I, personally, would lighten up on the cheese in the future. But that's just me. You can find the recipe here if you want to give it a try!

So new week equals new food plans and workout plans, but I will share the details tomorrow. Right now, I gotta hit my yoga mat for one last practice at Yoga Camp. *sigh*

Keep it real, guys!


Do you do wine and yoga practices? 

Do you have any local restaurants that are all about clean eating? What do they serve?

What was a good meal that you ate this weekend? Recipes please!!!
