1. I am completely out of nut butter. How must I start my day?
2. I can’t keep up with my overflowing laundry basket now that I’m exercising regularly again. It doesn’t help that my new apartment has an itty bitty washer and six loads per week is the norm.
3. Yesterday – after I deadlifted 145 pounds and Rx’ed the WOD – I scolded myself for scrutinizing my body in spandex.
4. This weekend, I will get to be with ALL of my family for my grandpa’s memorial. I couldn’t be happier.
5. Banana Walnut Chocolate Cookie Cake is going to happen in my kitchen real soon. It will be joyous. Want to come over? I’ll make extra strong coffee, too.
6. My mother keeps me on my toes. After receiving not one, but two, emails from my mom written in her (much appreciated) “red pen”, I made a couple of changes to Weekend Things - one regarding a “PG-13″ reference, and the second, for a silly spelling slip. What would would I do without her?
7. Also happening this weekend… a Whole Foods excursion. I hope I can manage not to break the bank!
8. I’m okay with permanent blisters on my palms if it means I get to play at the box and sport toned arms this Spring.
What are ya’ll doing this weekend?
Favorite Whole Foods items?

Whoa! You’re outta nut butter? I don’t think I’d wake up if I was, haha. I wanna come over for #5 and I completely agree with your #8! I’m proud of my callused hands.
Hillary.
I really admire your courage to blog about what really goes on in your head about your body. I know I have those same thoughts too, but I only blog about the positive stuff. Thanks for sharing those details; it reminds me I’m not alone!!
But in other news, I’d come eat cake with you!! You gotta post about that if you make it :)
This weekend I’m looking forward to my sorority’s formal function the “Cream Rose Ball” aka 2 hours of dancing :) I’m going with my friend Darien and I can’t wait to shake it all night long!
I hope you have fun with your family! Have a great Thursday too, doll!!
Have fun at your formal! :)
Deadlifting 145 lbs is super impressive – I can’t even comprehend that much weight! Have fun on your Whole Foods excursion! I am totally jealous. And that Cookie Cake sounds sorta like one of the best things ever. Can it be dessert for another game night?
I like that idea :)
I used to live in an apartment with a stackable washer/dryer and hated it! Bad memories. I allow Whole Foods to rob me weekly and love everything, especially the vegan donuts from the bakery. They’re dangerous! I hope you have a nice time at your grandfather’s memorial. :)
haha my parents inform me of my spelling errors on my blog, too! : )
Awesome job with 145 lbs! That’s hard core!
No nut butter?!? That sounds pretty darn tragic, if you ask me! :(
I just started following your blog recently. You are awesome! I recently moved across the country, and I wish I could find a workout partner like you. Just know that you inspire so many people!
Aww, thank you Sandra!! :) Where abouts did you move from/to?
I moved from Wyoming to Arkansas. The climate is so different here. I love that I can run (more like trot!) outside in March, but I know the summers are going to be SO SO SO hot! :) Love your blog, keep it up!!
I pray Whole Foods doesn’t break the bank every time I go too! :) The hubby and I are going to a baseball game, I’m going to get my cycle on, and hopefully do a Pinterest project I’ve been eyeballing!
mmm cookie cake and extra strong coffee sound pretty good right now! I feel you on always doing laundry… mine is always only workout clothes or my army uniform. Putting on ‘real clothes’ is a rare occurrence around these parts!
yes please, i’m coming over for banana walnut chocolate cookie cake ASAP! :)
