Pie, Cake, Gelato {& Weekly Workouts x 2}

Workouts lately have been a bit low-key. I think traveling to see P/the fam two weekends in a row has something to do with it, but no excuse making here. Running has been feeling pretty good, but not in the high 90 degree dry heat.

I would rather get my sweat on via a shorter, heavier at-home workout followed by a “finisher” of running up and down my apartment building stairs.

Labor Day weekend 2014 involved a lot of sweet treats – including Blue Bottle Coffee gelato, Mom’s homemade peach pie (with local peaches and almond extract), and a trio of decadent restaurant desserts including a fudgy chocolate torte, creme brûlée, and lemon tarte.

Surprisingly, my body is not feeling majorly out of balance. Perhaps it was the plethora of fresh green juice I guzzled for a week straight prior to celebrating Grandma’s birthday with all the sugar.

Your body knows best.

It will keep itself in balance, when given the chance.

I am not sweatin’ the extra sugar consumed last weekend, or the lighter workouts of late; because while I indulged often, I also ate a hemp and greens burger, inhaled heirloom tomato salads, laughed with my family, and ate/exercised intuitively.

Stressing about it is 100 times worse than just enjoying the specialty scoop of gelato or buttery pie crust.
