Get Outside!

The weather this week has been gorgeous! I'm so ready for summer.

Tuesday after work, I took the dog out for a nice little walk. I decided to ignore my phone and just unwind. Much needed!

Yesterday, I hit the trails at work after some weightlifting. Thankful that it's so easy to workout during work! 

Apparently, I overdid it on the weights yesterday- because I am super sore today. So, I hit up Sworkit for some yoga to stretch out my muscles. That hit the spot. 

Excited to be outside this weekend too. Baseball game Friday night. Garage sale Saturday. It's gonna be busy! 

Dogwood Canyon

Get me outside!! That's my general feeling of the week. So bestie and I roadtripped down to Dogwood Canyon south of Branson, Mo. GORGEOUS. Couldn't have asked for a better day! Just wish I would have taken more photos, but I was trying to soak it all in!

So many waterfalls! This one below was actually in Arkansas!

We hiked all the way to Arkansas! Okay... it was only a 7 mile hike round trip, but still- Arkansas!

Kicking myself for not exploring the new tree house. They've also added a mill, a restaurant, and a bar. Can this place get any better? 

And of course- the bestie. Doesn't get any better than that. Great friend, great conversation, great day!

San Antonio Continued..

Started off Wednseday morning with sunrise yoga. Great instructor, but a tad chilly out. Still felt good to stretch and clear my head before a busy day!

Beautiful view from my room.

Snack break in the middle of all my meetings. I couldn't resist! These are my favorite. 

Reward for a long day of meetings? A massage at Lantana Spa. It was fabulous! 

After a relaxing evening, I decided to stay in again. Chicken strips hit the spot. 

Thursday morning, I was up bright and early for a run. The weather couldn't have been better. I love when hotels have jogging maps like this one. So handy! 

Seriously- the weather was perfect.

Cactus! 

Now catching a late flight home and am ready to be snuggled in my own bed with my little family! 

San Antonio

Another week at work! Thankful for no flight delays for the first trip so far this year. Not even kidding!

Loving my room at the JW Marriott. It's secluded but nice. Easy to relax here.

So much so that I just wanted to relax in my room!

Hello, room service. Quesadilla was a little weird- smoked chicken wasn't doing it for me. The cheesecake, on the other hand... 

Never stood a chance. Not bad for a Tuesday.

Another Busy Weekend!

We kicked off the weekend a little early, on Thursday night, for the NFL Draft. We hit up Buffalo Wild Wings for some nachos and football action. I can't wait until it's football season again!!

Friday night was cold and stormy, so we just stayed at home. I relaxed with some candles, and this hot chocolate that totally hit the spot. 

Saturday morning, I headed out to the Girls on the Run Spring 5k. Thankfully the rain held off, and I had a great run with my buddy. I love being a part of that organization. It's so fun to see the girls get so excited about running and to watch their self esteem grow.

Hubbs surprised me with another date night Saturday even though we went out Thursday. We hit up dinner at The Order. I was too hungry to think about photos- but we polished off some burgers, fries, and their amazing duck aioli. I had way too much. Don't even care.  

For dessert, we hit up Andy's for custard. I had cheesecake and cookie dough. Talk about being in my happy place. Then, we were driving home and saw that one of the local fireworks stores was doing a display that night. So we found an empty parking lot nearby to finish our ice cream while watching fireworks. Best date night ever!!

Saturday morning, we hit up brunch with my bestie at the Aviary. Again, too hungry to think about food photos. Then, we hit up the trails at Galloway. It was a great weekend to be out and about! 

A great weekend- now off to San Antonio to work, work, work, work, work!

Weekday Workout

The weather was gorgeous yesterday, so I hit one of the trails at my work during lunch. It was almost a little hot, but I am super thankful for the sunshine!

This song has always been my jam. It gets me pumped. I have issues, I know.

Another great reason to get out and run for even a little bit is that I can use my workout to donate to a cause close to my heart. You have to check out the Charity Miles app! It lets you pick a cause to donate to every time you run! Can't beat that! 

Another good day and workout in the books. It left me with some motivation and momentum to get through the rest of the day!

Another Weekend!

Apparently I'm a slacker and only do weekend posts. Oh well. This weekend was a busy one! 

I spent Friday at the Senior PGA tournament at Top of the Rock. The weather couldn't have been better. I actually got out and walked the course this year too, so it was nice to get some exercise in the sun!

If you ever get out to Top of the Rock, you have to do the Cave Tour. It's my favorite part. So many beautiful waterfalls! 

Plus, there's a beautiful cave. And it has a bar at the entrance. Can't beat that!!

It was seriously a gorgeous weekend for some golf!

Friday night we hit up happy hour at our favorite sushi place- Haruno. My favorites are Sex and the City and Miami. And they just so happen to be the two rolls on special. Win win.

Saturday morning, I hit Common Grounds for coffee with the besties. Then, the bestie and I headed out to hike at Busiek State Park. How in the world did I not know about these trails? They were packed with people too! It was a decent hike, some uphill to get the legs burning, and we had to cross a creek- so that was kinda fun. It felt good to get a little wet and cool off. I'll definitely be back here soon! 

After our hike, we headed to the Great American Taco Company for lunch on their patio. I'm serious about soaking up the weather! I had the Veggie SoCal taco. Delicious!! And a ridiculous amount of guacamole. 

Sunday was a pretty lazy day. I don't think I even went outside- sad since the weather was gorgeous again. I did manage some meal prep for the week. Hello veggies! 

And now, on to another week! Have a great one!
