This weekend was just about perfect and it's not over yet. Here's my original list w/ the things I accomplished crossed off:
Go hiking
Go for a bike ride*We biked the Usery Pass loop through a regional park so I got my outdoor fix of hiking along w/ a bike ride so I'm counting both. We also went for a long walk around our neighborhood Saturday night.
The bike ride was HELLA HARD! Oh my gosh, but I loved it. I love doing something where you can't quit (because we're 10 miles away from our car)- I am a little brat and start cursing like crazy but I also LOVE challenging myself physically. The ride was 22.5 miles long and we climbed 1,000 feet in elevation. My phone said I also burned about 1,000 calories so that's good!! Wahoo!!
Go out Saturday night w/ Michael just the 2 of us*I invited friends but they couldn't join us-luckily. As soon as I asked I thought to myself, "Why did I just do that?" I do that all the time- I'm more worried about making sure everyone else is happy, having a good time, enjoying themselves than I am myself sometimes!!
Go to the gym 1xNope! No gym trip for us :(
Pick fruit from my citrus treesPick up yard then relax in my hammock chair*I went to a used bookstore near my house & bought "Wild" by Cheryl Strayed which really just seemed to be the perfect book for me right now. We picked up the backyard and then I read for about 30 minutes in my hammock chairs- until I got sleepy then I went upstairs & took a nap!
Make a fire
Nope! But honestly, it was just too warm and not really necessary this weekend.
Call my girlfriends
Nope! They're on my list though! Just no time.
For next week---Meal plan & grocery shop
DONE!!! We cooked a bunch of meat on the grill along with a HUGE bowl of veggies. We also steamed some broccoli and then I pre-made a bunch of salads too! Oh, I also cut up some fruit & broke that up into serving size baggies for the week. I wish I would have timed myself because between the two of us, I'm sure it took an hour tops. But BOY DOES IT FEEL GREAT to have that done. I know I'll make good decisions this week because I can quickly grab and go!
Exercise plan
I'm working on this now so it will be done!! I was going to bike to the office tomorrow but I have a feeling I'm barely going to be able to walk, let along bike 15 miles. So, not happening.
Overall, I feel like it was such an amazing weekend. Productive, Health-focused, Relaxing, etc. A HUGE part of this was because I didn't work at all. That is so crucial and I realize it so clearly.
So, let's hope for a productive week at the office so I can continue to make the most of my weekends and non-work hours!
