Weekend Recap: 11/3-11/4
5 Nov
Hey everyone! It’s been a few days, and I’m here to recap what I’ve been up to lately.
Friday Evening
After work on Friday, I made a quick stop at Target for some workout clothes shopping (more on that in a bit), and later my mom and I went to Yogo Crazy for some frozen yogurt.
My cup was filled with…
- Pumpkin, apple pie, and reduced-sugar frozen yogurt
- Cookie dough
- Lucky Charms
- Reeses pieces
Yes, it was a sugar bomb.
I literally went to bed almost as soon as I got home, around 8:30; I was so tired for some reason!
Saturday
Saturday morning I was up early and got dressed for the 5 mile run on my training schedule.
I got the compression tights, compression shirt, and zip-up from Target. Although they were C9 – which I consider to be relatively affordable – the whole ensemble added up to be pretty “expensive” (or at least to someone cheap like me!). I justified it by figuring I’d be getting a lot of use out of these pieces for all of my cold-weather runs.
It took me about an hour, but I completed just over 5 miles around my parents’ neighborhood (they live in a much larger neighborhood than I do, so I ran there instead of in my own ‘hood).
Later in the afternoon on Saturday, I met up with Kristin for lunch at a local restaurant, Say Cheese!
I didn’t take a picture of my sandwich, but I had the fig, arugula, and gorgonzola grilled cheese (so good!). Kristin and I ordered two desserts, and then split them – double the sweets!
Pumpkin cheesecake and crème brulee – both were so good!
It was great to meet Kristin (we live so close!) and I was so glad to finally try Say Cheese! (I already can’t wait to go back.)
The rest of my Saturday was spent grading papers…ugh.
Sunday
I didn’t take a single picture on Sunday.
The day started with church, followed by grocery shopping. The rest of our afternoon/evening was spent celebrating Chris’s brother’s birthday. We got home around 7:00PM and I ended my evening by passing out in a pile of book reports… ah, the life. 
**********
After a rather indulgent weekend, I was happy to get back to my “normal” routine today and managed to be pretty productive. I love a good, productive Monday; it really sets a positive tone for the rest of the week!
What was the yummiest thing you ate this weekend? This is a difficult one for me – cheesecake, crème brulee, frozen yogurt, birthday cake?! Ah, too many choices!
Sounds like a great weekend! And you should definitely invite Kristin to the next meet-up!
She’s coming!
Pumpkin and apple pie fro yo! yummmy! Those are some of my favorites too! (: I know what you mean about expensive workout gear! I don’t know how people afford lueluemon even on sale haha. Target is pretty good sometimes but I don’t want to spend a bunch of money on a bunch of workout gear even though I do know I need it!
I have 2 pieces of Lululemon stuff, but both were gifts from my sister!
Pumpkin & Apple together? Well doesn’t that sound like the most wonderful full dessert!
Glad to hear you had such a great and relaxing weekend. Way to knock out those 5 miles too girl.

Yum! I love cookie cake!!!
I’m really interested in compression tights. I just got compression socks. Man, are those things expensive!
The best thing I ate this weekend was a Italian beef sandwich from Portillo’s in Illinois with cheese fries
That could easily be my last meal!
Yum, sounds delicious!
Awesome work on that run, girl! Target makes my favorite cold-weather clothing – affordable and useful!

I always buy the C9 apparel! As expensive as the ensemble turned out to be, imagine how much MORE expensive it would’ve been with all brand name workout clothing

Very true!
That fro yo looks incredible! That is my kind of dessert! I think that the best thing I ate was some Haggan Daaz ice cream last night but I have peanut butter cookies on the brain.
