7 Things

I kicked off our weekend with a 4 mile walk with Stella. Amazingly, she held up really well and actually seemed to love it! I’m also equally excited that I’m finally able to put my hair up in a crazy-high messy bun. I know it’s not flattering, but it’s taken me almost a year to get it to this point!

Friday night we decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner at White Mountain Cider Co. I’ve been wanting to try their dinner for years now and it did NOT disappoint! It was so good. We ended up doing a few appetizers, a salad, and then a delicious dessert. The meat and cheese platter was incredible.

But honestly, nothing beat this desert. Warm Apple Cider Donuts, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Caramel Sauce. It. Was. Amazing. Kinda also wish that I had my own portion ; )

We then told Brady that we were going to try Vegan for a week and he was very un-impressed.

We ended up watching The Game Changers Documentary on Netflix (I actually watched it twice because Alex was away at his parents Saturday night) and it really did change my entire perspective on our diet. I’m technically one ‘full day’ in (Saturday morning I realized that my ‘non-dairy creamer’ I had been using actually HAD dairy in it?!?) and already feel like I have way more energy throughout the day and my sleep has felt better too. I had this pizza Saturday night and it was honestly SO good. Like, maybe better than other non-vegan frozen pizzas I’ve had?!

My mom is also away at a Wedding this weekend in Austin, so I offered to check in on her cat (my old cat!). She still remembers me. Gosh, aren’t animals just the best mood picker-uppers?!

And started my new tradition of beginning my mornings with yoga, meditation, and journaling on Saturday. I really love this new habit since I’ve still got two more weeks off of running! While I definitely miss lacing up and getting sweaty, I’m also really enjoying just trying new things and having more flexibility in my day.

I’ve got the day off school because it’s Veteran’s Day (THANK YOU to all of our Veterans out there for sacrificing their lives for us!) and the weather is supposed to turn to snow/ice later so I’m getting as much school work done as I can and then hoping to do more meal prep for the week ahead.
