While I doubt you were waiting with bated breath for my daily recaps, I do apologize that I didn't blog all weekend, but this weekend was completely FULL!! Friday I was up earlier than when I go to work to have my car in for a recall (dropped it off at 7:00 a.m.!) My mom picked me up from the dealer and came back to my house with me, where we cleaned for 3 hours, then I made some breakfast, we watched the last 2 episodes of Friends (I had on the DVR and my Mom, a big fan, hasn't seen since it went of the air in 2004). I have not heard my Mom laugh like that in a while!! She even said, "oh I forgot how funny this show was, I miss Joey." LOL Her being up so early and then cleaning and then laughing so hard made her doze off for a while, so I finished up in the kitchen and let her sleep for about 30 minutes. We finished up at my house and went back for my car. I then made my monthly travel up to Trader Joe's in Marlton, then over to the Williamstown Farmers Market, back to the Mays Landing area where I had to make a few stops, then home to have a late lunch, shower and get to my nephew's hockey game, pick up his ice cream cake, back to my folks to sing happy birthday, then met some friends for a club soda (well, they had drinks, I had club soda), but I was home before midnight! (but I could feel myself yawning at 10:00 because I am used to going to bed at that time).
Saturday was non-stop, as well. Up early, small workout in, breakfast, shower, and Beth was at my house by 10:30 because we had a baby shower in Buena at 12. It was a wonderful shower for my friend Maria, really beautiful. I got to see some of my great friends that I haven't seen in over a month, so that was really nice. After the shower, Beth and I did a little shopping, went by the house she and her husband are buying (and looked in the windows lol). They go to closing tomorrow, so happy for them, it's beautiful. Made Beth dinner, and then we met those friends from the shower out for a few clubs sodas (for me! beers for them!) It was really great catching up and I laughed so much my cheeks hurt!!!
Sunday I woke a little later than usual, and was still pretty tired because I threw my sleep pattern off a little this weekend. I just sat on the couch watching a movie until I had to get ready for work at Chili's. I don't mind not getting a full workout in on the weekends, because Chili's takes care of that lol I worked, went home and showered, ate, and met 2 other friends I have seen, but haven't had a chance to hang out with. Sam I at least see every weekend, because she is a manager at Chili's (and one of my oldest friends), and Courtney I don't see as much because I no longer work Monday nights at Chili's. It was great getting to see them, and catching up with Courtney. Unfortunately, her cousin was horribly injured in the Boston bombings, but hearing the story of his resiliency was inspiring. She was telling us funny stories, and the people she met while visiting him. I really think he is going to be ok!
I told you all about my busy weekend in detail not to brag, but to show you that no matter how busy you get, or how many times you go out with friends, you can still find ways to be healthy. I still ate clean all weekend, and didn't drink (due to my 30-day challenge, not forever...there will be a blog post about this lol) Things went much better than I would have anticipated. Sure, I didn't get in as much exercise workouts as I would have liked, but since I was running around so much, I did get in my daily steps/miles/stairs climbed/calories burned...which is much more than sitting on the couch!
