This weekend I got to spend at home with my family in New Jersey. It flew by, and I really did not do much besides eat, which is the BEST. I wanted to blog but ended up just relaxing and unplugging a little bit. Considering it's already AUGUST (WTF!?!?) and school starts for me in a few weeks when I'll have no life, this weekend was marvelous . I decided to do this recap with accompanying hashtags because I love that they are short and sweet.
The bad
Being delayed on the train heading to my Philly because the train in front of us broke down. No bueno. #getmeoffthistrain
Monday mornings on work days. #seriouslywhereisthecoffee
No solid workouts besides my long runs. #restdayvibes

The good
Dooby's avocado toast (recipe here) for breakfast with a side of coffee. It is amazing and has tons of avocado on top of soft sourdough bread.

My sister has just returned from 6 months with the Disney College program, and it was fabulous to give her lots of big hugs.

Being greeted Thursday evening with a Philly cheesesteak from Geno's. I had a provolone, wit (that means I had mine with provolone cheese and onions on it!). It's been SO long-it was amazing, and I ate every last bite. #onlyinphillyfoods
Receiving my prize from a Fitfluential CALIA by Carrie Underwood giveaway for this beautiful top that is ridiculously soft and feels like pajamas (along with a pretty headband.) I've been dying to try out her line. #workoutclothesarerealclothes
I ate delicious chocolate cake three nights in a row. My mom made it for scratch for a belated birthday celebration for my sister. The frosting was like fudge and I may have eaten many spoonfuls of the leftovers. #ohmyyumwhatbikinibody
Sleeping in on Sunday mornings is still amazing. #homeiswheremybedis
Saturday morning solo long runs that feel great and include post-run watermelon juice Gundalow juice. #willrunforwatermelon

Sunday pasta and homemade gravy & meatballs with delicious garlic bread for dinner. I will never get sick of my mom's homemade meatballs. She is adorable and even makes the brown rice spaghetti for her and I after I introduced her to it. #mymomissecretlyitalian
How was your weekend? What was your favorite part?

Workout clothes totally are real clothes. It's called ATHLEISURE. I've been trendsetting that ish for YEARS.
ReplyDeleteAnd we don't talk about travel delays.
Ah true story. Once you give up real pants you're a goner.
DeleteSo glad you had such a great time at home!!! Nothing beats mom's home cooking. Nothing. And cake?!?! Ahhhh so jealous!
ReplyDeleteWell I was feeling slowwwww on my run this morning lol Home cooking is the best!
DeleteHmmm, let's see, chocolate cake vs. bikini body? Yeah, no competition.
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree :)
DeleteI would have taken the chocolate cake with me. Not even kidding. Actually I would've finished it while I was home. Shameless. : )
ReplyDeleteThere was only a small piece left and after already eating about a slice earlier I felt bad. I do regret it today though lol!
DeleteThat sounds like such a wonderful weekend! Smashed avo on sourdough is my all-time fave and finally, lunch twice this week. Love it with extra lime, bacon, and sliced tomatoes. BLT-ish.
ReplyDeleteWe had EPIC thunderstorms yesterday, which was a great way to end the weekend; reading on the couch listening to a few storms. It's a holiday here today, so, a nice easy way to get into a very busy week.
Ooh I need to make this BLT-style avo toast! Monday holidays do make the week much easier. Glad you are relaxing, dear!
DeleteI had no idea that Carrie Underwood had a line of workout clothes, but that is so pretty! What a great prize. :) I'm going to have to check out her stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt's a newer line sold at Dick's Sporting Goods! Everything is really pretty looking.
Deleteyou don't even understand how jealous I am that you had a Geno's philly cheesesteak! All that grease... Mmmm!!
ReplyDeleteSo good! I actually ate it when I got to my parents' house so my dad toasted up the bun for me. YUM.
DeleteThat outfit is really beautiful! I love watermelon after a long run as well, so refreshing!
ReplyDeleteIt's the best in the summer!
