Last weekend included another successful day of skiing in the books, so I’m excited that Brian and I will be heading out to the slopes early tomorrow again!

The past two years, I have been very timid on the slopes and felt very anxious.  It honestly sucked a lot of the fun out of the experience. This year, I feel like I have found my groove and I am SO thankful!! 🙂

Other than skiing, our weekend is pretty free.  I know we will spend time playing with and walking the dogs and doing typical weekend things, but other than lunch with a friend on Sunday we don’t have any real commitments.  It feels kind of nice!

In true Friday spirit, I’ll share a Five Things Friday post!

Five Things I Ate:

• Lunch salad with greens, Kite Hill soft cheese, brown jasmine rice, lentils, radish, cucumber, olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing.

• Egg white banana oatmeal with a few chia seeds and powdered peanut butter.

• Nourish bowl (lentils, jasmine brown rice, steamed carrots, sautéed greens all topped with walnut oil and vinegar)

• Scrambled egg and egg white, side of frozen fruit topped with peanut butter and homemade cold brew coffee with almond milk.

• Clean out the fridge and call it soup – zucchini, turnips, rutabaga, homemade vegetable broth, chicken, spices and a Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Biscuit (<—delicious!!)

Five Workouts I Did:

• Ran for an hour
• Boot Camp
• Indoor Cycling
• Barre
• Walked the pups 🙂

Five Things Making Me Happy:

• I’m almost done with my internship application (yay!!!!) and I have a couple of fun experiential internships I am hoping to start next month.  I know one will work out to start next month, just hoping that both do!
• Getting back into my exercise routine.  Guys…I am just now realizing that getting in a GOOD workout makes all the difference in my productivity and positivity for the week.  Seriously.  Last week and this week were full of really good, muscle-fatiguing workouts and I feel like my focus is like a laser beam 🙂
• Finally feeling comfortable on the ski slopes.
• The show Fixer Upper.  I feel like I am a bit late in the game, but I just started watching this show in December and I can see why people love it so much!
• Walking these two fools with my sister 🙂 Sister time and puppy time.
