Thinking Out Loud

Happy Thursday!
I would say it's almost the weekend but.... well, it's been a never-ending weekend for me the last 2 weeks. ha.


1. Today is snow day #9. Work/school is potentially looking promising for tomorrow but we'll see. I said that last Thursday too and we see what happened there. If I was still in college living with my best friends, I'm almost positive that we'd be dead of liver failure. Or boredom.

2. I'm so excited for the next 2 weekends--can they get here already?! Next weekend I'm going to Atlanta for the Spartan Sprint (!! YES!) and the following weekend is my girls weekend in Asheville. When I was doing Student Activities/Outdoor Rec, I was practically gone every single weekend during the spring but this year, I've not really gone anywhere yet.


3. I'm obsessed with HGTV's Fixer Upper. Chip & Joanna are officially my favorites--how cute are they?! I wonder if they do road trips to Virginia?! Joanna's style is the BEST.

4. My boss & I did the Filthy 50 yesterday and it was awesome. It's one of my absolute favorite cross fit workouts and I'd forgotten just how much I love it. It's tough and even I'll admit I'm a little sore this morning... but only a little. ;)

5. I've been complaining for the last few days about not having a "routine" right now because of the snow days and how I'm ready to get back to normal but then I realized that, well, I've now got a new routine and it's going to be so hard to get back to regular schedule! I wake up, shower, leisurely have breakfast/watch the news, blog, blog read, head to the gym/work, etc. Do I really have to get back to waking up at 5:30am next week?! 

6. My cat is currently biting my arm as I type this. Ugh.

7. My mom's birthday was on Tuesday and I made brownies. And two of the ingredients were ice cream and hot fudge. Oh yeah--they were as good as they sound. I usually try and make clean cheats but I figured it wasn't my birthday and as much as I appreciate that kind of thing, not everyone in my family feels the same way. ha. It was a good move on my part--they were gone within seconds. 

8. I'm teaching my weekly Insanity class tonight. I always get nervous right before hand but once I get going and see people working hard, I love it. Hoping to get my personal training cert and/or group exercise cert soon so I can start teaching more! It's addicting. :)

There ya have it! Crossing my fingers that I'm back to work tomorrow! 

Have a great Thursday!

  3. Its so hard to get back to a routine after time off! I can't believe how many snow days you have had. I remember having a week off in college for snow and it was the best time ever!

  4. I love Fixer Upper too!!! I agree that Chip & Joanna are simply adorable!! I'd love to live in any of the houses they remodel and she decorates..they are just full of lovely ideas. Another show we love to watch on HGTV is Holmes on Homes. He's so good about pointing out issues and then fixing them. I could sure use him in our basement bathroom!
    Good luck teaching Insanity!

      and thank you!!

  5. It's crazy how easy it is to fall out of a normal routine after just a few days off! But I have to say that I'm kind of jealous of your snow days! I don't think I've -ever- had a snow day... Even when it's -40, it's still business as usual :/

    1. Shew, I can't believe we have gotten this many!! It's crazy. I'm so ready to go back to work! And I have no idea what I'd do if it were -40 out! I thought it was bad enough when it was -15 last week! Lol

  6. I'm so excited for you with your Spartan Race! Is this going to be your first one? I just did my first at the Tampa Sprint a few weeks ago and I loved it! Very challenging but definitely a worthwhile experience. I can't wait until next weekend because I go on vacation to run my second Tough Mudder! Hope the snow clears up for you soon!

    1. It will be my second sprint! I LOVE spartan races! I'm going to work on my trifecta this year! And I'm still debating on whether or not I'm going to do another TM! Hopefully I can fit it in!!
