This weekend may have been low key, but sometimes you just need one of those. I got to catch up with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while, get some great workouts in, watch a couple good movies, give the apartment a good cleaning, do some shopping, restock the fridges with fresh fruits and veggies, and come up with a couple new recipes. I wouldn’t call that a bad time!
Some eats from the weekend:
{chicken tacos while catching up with my girl Ash <3}
{soup and bread because my allergies have been keeping me down}
{homemade popcorn and a good movie}
{club soda with fresh strawberries for a little something sweet and sparkly}
{fruity, chocolatey baked oatmeal with Greek yogurt on a chilly morning}
{more American chop suey to use up the leftovers before a new week starts}
{cinnamon sugar baked pita chips drizzled with chocolate sauce and fruit}
If you missed the above pita chips recipe or the Cookie Butter cookie recipe, make sure you check them out!

I’m really excited for the week ahead and all the great stuff that’s going to come with it: my last few days at work after three and a half years, my last few days as an undergrad student, walking at my college graduation ceremony, and plenty of celebrations with friends and family.
And along with all that will also be plenty of normal stuff: I’m looking forward to some more great workouts this week (although I’m still sore from last week’s, but I’ll call that a success!), I’ll be trying my hardest to keep my allergies in check, Billy’s still got to get through finals (which is never a fun time). and there’s some baseball games to attend.
With everything going on, it’s going to be difficult to stay focused on the things I try to achieve on a daily basis, like better health and fitness, but there’s also something to be said about enjoying life and where it takes you. This is certainly going to be one of those “turning point” weeks, not only for me, but for plenty of other college graduates out there as well, so here’s a little mix of life-spiration and fitspiration to carry us into May, and into new beginnings:
{how I’ve felt about both school and working out at many points along the way}
{you go, girl!}
It’s important to remember that inspirations like these can be applied to so many different aspects of our lives, and we’ve got to give it all we’ve got whenever and wherever we can. Whether it’s in regards to working out, eating right, school, work, family, friends, relationships, setting or achieving goals, or anything else that’s important to you, always remember that if it’s important to you, it’s worth your time and effort. You can achieve great things and still maintain balance in your life if you just set your mind to it!
So with all that said, the fridge is packed, meals are planned, the apartment is clean, I’m good and rested, and overall, I’m ready to make it a good week!
I hope you are too!!
