Well Monday is here and for the first time in a while I am not mad about it! I still have one more day of vacation left so I am going to enjoy it. This week is going to be so short for me since I have Thursday and Friday off so another four-day weekend is coming up for me. So excited! Before I get ahead of myself let me tell you what I have been up to this weekend.
Friday
I went to Dick’s sporting goods to pick up some new roller blades. I was so hoping to get out and use them but then I realized it has been a while since I have went rollerblading so I need to practice a little bit before hitting the roads. I went to Target to pick up a few items and the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred video. I also stopped at the library to pick up some books I had on hold and then to pick up my beach tag. Since the weather was a little cloudy and rainy I didn’t get to hit the beach but I got to catch up on some reading.
Saturday
I hit up the $1 Flip flop sale at Old Navy where I got a few pairs and two shirts. Let me tell you it was a scene!! I hate crowds since I get very claustrophobic and the line was wrapped around the store like 5 times. It was crazy.
I headed to my first ever Farmer’s Market and I have to say I was so disappointed. I guess I was hoping for a lot more vendors. I thought there was going to be an abundance of fruits and vegetables but all I got was this bunch of strawberries. So sad.
I got to break in my new DVD’s. I did the Level One of the 30 Day Shred and then the Punch and Knee portion of the Taebo Express DVD. Both were a really good workout. I am hoping to do the 30 day shred in the mornings as a supplement to my Half-Marathon training.
Sunday
I actually got to sleep in until 7:30 am and let me tell you it was glorious! I made a hearty breakfast and headed out for a hike.
I ended up going to some new trails and it lasted about 2 hours. The 95% humidity didn’t help but I burned a ton of calories. After the hike I head to Lowe’s for some Adirondack chairs and a new grill. Unfortunately the sales person couldn’t figure out where the grill I wanted was located and after waiting around for 45 minutes I gave up. I was hungry from the hike and needed to go grocery shopping.
I took Seamus for a walk and then mowed the lawn. A poor bird nest fell out of the tree and landed in my yard. Poor birdie.
I set up the chairs and Seamus and I soaked up some rays. I had to play the grown-up and vacuum upstairs and did dishes.
That is all for now, I am going to try to go enjoy my last day of vacation! Hoping to get in a bike ride, beach trip or go kayaking if the rain stays away! Happy Monday!

Glad you are enjoying your vacation! I might have to pick up that work out video too to incorporate into my diet!
It was a really good workout! Tougher than I thought it would be!!
Lucky you – two 40-day weekends 🙂 Glad you are enjoying your time off. I bought the Jillian Michaels DVD years ago and have only used it a few times. I seriously need to bust it out 🙂
Thanks for linking up!
I was surprised at how much I liked the DVD. You should totally bust it out. I am so looking forward to this next weekend since the weather is supposed to be better.
I want to roller blade SO BAD but I don’t want to do it by myself & Darren is convinced he’ll fall every five seconds so he won’t do it with me 🙁 AND I missed the $1 flip flop sale at Old Navy. Booooo
I am totally afraid of breaking something so I practiced in my living room on the hardwood floors. Hehe. They roller blades just feel so awkward. I wish I still had by white skates with 4 pink wheels. 🙂 The flip flop sale was CRAZY!! The lines were wrapped around the building but I did get a few cute things!
