Words cannot express how excited I am for the weekend ahead. Not for anything super exciting in particular (although we are going skiing for the first time this season), more to just reset and relax before the craziness of the holiday’s hit.
With that said: Time for My Friday Round Up!
Favorite Run
Without a doubt my night run with Zach. I am still adjusting to running in the dark, but there was something about the quiet and stillness of the dark that made it relaxing for me and the boys :). Now if only my legs hadn’t been lead…
Favorite Treat
The pistachio cake from Whole foods. I was SO excited to pick that up yesterday, and am crossing my fingers that Zach doesn’t finish it off today while I’m at work 🙂
Favorite Eat
Last nights meal…honestly. I don’t know if it was all the love the hubbie but into it, or if it was just darn good. But seriously, the chicken was perfectly done and the acorn squash and quinoa? Hello!
Favorite Moment
Date night 🙂 Man I love date night, and Freshcraft treated us well this week!
And of course, a quick round up of the rest of the eats for the week 🙂 Because I love to make you drool!
And finally, my friday favorites and things I’m thankful for this Friday
- Snow — yes, it’s cold and I am not a cold blooded girl. But man it’s pretty, the hubby gets all excited to ski, and it just signifies so much for me. Love it
- Forgiveness — yup. I am thankful for forgiveness this week.
- Running — because my running shoes have gotten me through a lot lately!
- Friends — Hello amazing weekend with Friends last weekend. Such a great reminder of the amazing people I have in my life.
- QuestBars- – just found em, and love them. If you want a healthy protein bar, you must find these! I found mine at GNC!
Question of the Afternoon: What is one Friday favorite from this week for you?
Chocolate Covered Race Medals 
I’ve been wanting to try the Quest Bars, I am going to hit up Whole Foods tonight and see if mine has some. Happy Friday!
They’re great! Happy Friday 🙂
This reminds me that I need to drag Kyle out on a run with me 🙂 STOP torturing me with pictures of that cake! Oh wait, it’s okay cause you’re shipping me one 😉 I’ve been wanting to try Quest bars for months now but I was waiting for someone I know to try them first and give me the deats lol. So it’s a go haha? Have fun skiing!!!
My favorite one so far was chocolate chip cookie dough, just ps 🙂
Haha thanks for the tip twin! I’ve wanted to try vanilla almond crunch, cinnamon roll, and apple pie!
Friday Favorite this week would be…the cookies I baked last night! Fantastic!
YUM!
Lots of good eats there!
Fav. moment this week was today, my husband received some pretty awesome news via snail mail. It’s been a long time in the progress, so we’re really excited about it (can’t talk/blog about it for a few weeks 😉
Have a great weekend!
Can’t wait to hear about it! Hope you get to celebrate!
I just ate my lunch but after seeing all your pictures I’m hungry again! It’s so cool that Zach cooks for you, enjoy lady! Oh, and be safe on your skiing trip! 🙂
Thank you! And I know, I’m a lucky lady :):) Have so much fun!!
Your pictures are making me hungry! It all looks so delicious! I will have to give those Quest bars a try. I have a few friends who like them. Always looking for good food! 🙂
I saw them all over the blog but didn’t actually find them until I was in Chicago last weekend. I know they’re at a lot of GNC’s if you’re interested! 🙂 Chocolate chip cookie dough has been my favorite so far 🙂
So fun! Enjoy your weekend and have fun skiing!
Thanks! You do the same 🙂
That acorn squash looks amazing!! My Friday favorite this week has been my Body Pump soreness… getting back to lifting weights has been awesome!
My best runs are in the dark, setting off at about 9pm on a Monday evening. Alas, winter is coming (as the House of Stark would put it) and I can see a period of non-running looming soon. Cold and (reasonable) rain, fine; snow and ice, no way. I can cope with cold, wet legs but I’d rather not risk breaking one!
I am totally supportive of running outdoors in bad weather, but ice is just asking for injury!
This post is making me super hungry, especially that acorn squash! Yum! My Friday favorite this week was getting a bit of my Christmas shopping out of the way! Stress relief!
Oh man haven’t even started on Christmas!
