Last summer my boyfriend and I went on a short bikepacking ride. It was my first time bikepacking and it was in an area that we were not familiar with, so of course there would be some things I would change for next time. Every area that we slept in was a little bit sketchy and the order that we went in was probably not the best. In the future we should reverse the direction. But I would still lov... » Continue Reading
I just wanted to post some pictures here of a girls night my friends and I had recently. It was so much fun. We went to a wine cellar type of place, and we got a nosh board. I have never heard of it being called a nosh board, but it was just the same as a charcuterie board. » Continue Reading
Did my first Frosty Bike Ride a bit ago! It wasn't actually too frosty because there was no actual snow on the ground and the temperature was 50 degrees. We rode from a brewery in town to a bike shop. At the bike shop they had hot chocolate for the riders and then back at the brewery they provided lunch. I think there were around thirty or more people. It was really nice hanging out with everyone ... » Continue Reading
I'm so excited it's Friday! Today I'm planning on just hanging out at home and reading a good portion of my newest book I'm on. Probably will also watch a funny movie too. Of course, this will be all after I go to the gym and take my shower. I'm also excited for tomorrow. Me and my girlfriends are going to do a Galentine's Day. We're planning on going to this Wonderbowl place. It's basically like ... » Continue Reading
So with my TickTick I've been reading every day and it's helped sooo much. I started the app at the end of the year last year and I've already gotten through three books and I'm on my fourth. Here are the books I've read, a quick summary with no spoilers, and what I thought of them. Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke (Eric LaRocca) Summary: This book has three separate stories within it;... » Continue Reading
Just got back from a walk with my dogs. It's really nice out with a high of 58 degrees. I can't wait for it to warm up and for the sun to stay out longer than 5:50 p.m. I need to finish up some laundry and read more of my book. Today I'm planning on doing a fish/veggie rice bowl. I haven't made one of those in a while, so I'm excited for that. I do Cilantro lime rice, tilapia, mixed vegetables, an... » Continue Reading
There are only 45 days left until Spring!!! I'm so excited for the sun to be out and for longer days for more outside activities. I feel like I have so many things I want to do during Spring, but I need to write it down. It's all just too jumbled up in my head. Things I Want to Do This Spring: I want to bike more and drive less.(I got a rear bike rack, I just need a basket and cords now!) Go on as... » Continue Reading
Right now, I'm eating homemade chili and half of a cinnamon roll after doing a walk around the park with one of my friends. The sunny was out and it got to a high of 52 degrees. It was soooo nice out. But of course, with the sun being out comes all the melted snow turned into puddles. It made the walk a little bit more technical, but it was still fun. My Converse shoes were probably not the best c... » Continue Reading
So I've added more weight and an extra mile to my workout and I've definitely started sweating more my last couple of workouts. I'm going to keep pushing myself and just make sure I'm not getting too comfy at the gym. Tomorrow I'm going to the gym with my friend, then we're going to meet our other friend at the library to check out some books. I'm excited because I haven't checked out a book at th... » Continue Reading
Over the last couple of days I have been thinking I need to push myself harder at the gym. When I leave the gym and days after working out, I do feel sore, but I never leave the gym sweating. I also notice when I'm on some machines I feel like I could put more weight on. Yesterday and today I put more weight on some machines I was feeling too comfortable on and added another mile to my inclined wa... » Continue Reading
Just got back home from the gym and just so happy to not be at work right now. Today was my first day back from my long weekend and it dragged. I feel like I'm just so excited for it to be spring already so my days can be longer, and I can be outside more. I think I've just never cared about spring and summer before until now, and I'm just ready for winter to be done. I wouldn't want to live somew... » Continue Reading
Back home from a mini vacation. I did a girls trip with friends over this weekend. It was really fun and nice just to hang out in a cabin. Definitely could have been a longer vacation, but I was really excited to get back to routine. I didn't go really off the rails with eating and kept taking my vitamins, and read still, but was happy to get back to normal. I ended up taking today off to just han... » Continue Reading
