Weekend Recap: PiYo, Shopping, Cooking and More!

Happy Monday friends!  Thanks for sharing your weekend plans last Friday – you guys are an active bunch!  I’ll announce the winner of the Onzie knot-back tank top giveaway tomorrow, so stay tuned.  For those who didn’t participate in the giveaway, how was your weekend?  Mine was a little bittersweet but overall fantastic.  Here’s the “run down” of what “went down”…

On Friday evening I hung out with my friends at Fossil Corporate HQ for their National Run at Work Day celebration.  We coordinated a “fun run” and enjoyed healthy snacks. Afterwards I was pretty tired so I just called it a night.  I had to wake up bright and early to teach my PiYo class.  This was my last class of the Summer (tear).  Two of my favorite students bought me a really nice Lululemon yoga mat and matching headband as an “end of the summer thank you” gift – so sweet!  My yoga mat is super raggedy and dirty so I needed a new one BADLY.  I was a so grateful that I cried like a baby before class.  There’s nothing better that doing something that you love  to do and helping people in the process.  I feel so purposeful when I’m teaching.  It’s my calling.  What do you love to do?

After class, I headed to Dallas’s North Park mall for a little shopping and walking around.  I spent way too much time in my new favorite activewear store, Lorna Jane.  Have you guys checked out their stuff?  It’s like Lululemon but brighter and funkier – I’m obsessed.  The clothes are super high quality and designed to flatter the female body while providing athletic support.  In particular, their yoga pants make me look like a have a booty – YES!  I highly recommend.

On Sunday I did my grocery shopping for the week.  I don’t have to travel for work this week, which means I get to cook real food at home.  I was instantly energized by the site of yummy fall veggies.  I love butternut squash and pumpkin-anything.  Over the next couple of weeks I’m going to explore some new healthy fall recipes.  What are some of your favorites fall dishes?

To wrap up the weekend my sister, Kortani, came over for dinner last night.  We made these super savory Tex-Mex chicken enchiladas (I’ll post the recipe tomorrow).  They were delicious and we have a lot left over, so I’ll enjoy them all week.

While our food was delicious and the vino was flowing, the best part of my Sunday night was the company.  I love my little sister so much and am so proud of the woman she has become.  Hopefully you got to spend some quality time this weekend with your friends and family too!
