Since it's Friday I'm joining the Friday Five Linkup with Eat Pray Run DC, Mar on the Run and You Signed Up for What?!. This week's theme is: Five Things About Me. But I already did a post on that which pretty much exhausted my ability to say little known and funny things about myself. So, instead I'm sharing five awesome things that happened to me this week. Who doesn't love awesome?
4. Cooking (and eating, obvs) some delicious food
Even though I didn't have time to meal prep, I made an effort to step my food game up and elevate my normal salads and stir fries. Exhibit A: asparagus, edamame, and tomato topped with a runny fried egg. Exhibit B: cruciferous crunch with steak, beets, cheese, pepitas and pomegranate vinegar.
5. Getting back into Blogilates videos
I'm a huge fan of Casey Ho from Blogilates and love all the videos on her YouTube channel. For some reason, I hadn't been following them for awhile but I did a ton this week and loved getting back into it. I got on a roll on Tuesday and did all of the below videos in one night!
Q: What was the most awesome thing about your week? Any awesome plans for the weekend? Or other things that are awesome in general?
1. I got kind of famous
As you may have seen (because I have been blasting it everywhere) I was interviewed in an article on Self.com. Pretty much the highlight of my week. Not that it's a big deal or anything.
2. The US men's national soccer team advanced in the world cup
Despite losing to Germany, the US men managed to survive the group of death and make it to the round of 16 in the world cup! Which means we get to watch our favoriteeye candy players for at least another match. Kyle Beckerman seems to be a crowd favorite with my friends.
I get it, but I'm not really into the whole super hairy look. I'm more into the "I just won a street fight/got kicked in the face and have a broken nose look". Luckily team USA has something for everyone :)
3. And we got to watch the game at work!
Yet another reason why I have the coolest office ever!As you may have seen (because I have been blasting it everywhere) I was interviewed in an article on Self.com. Pretty much the highlight of my week. Not that it's a big deal or anything.

yaaas for the eye candy AND blogilates! happy friday!
ReplyDeleteHaha yes thanks! Who's your favorite eye candy Lindsay? :)
DeleteI watched the game at work yesterday too (they even brought in pizza!), and that was really fun!
ReplyDeleteOh pizza sounds awesome! It was at 9:00 AM over here on the west coast so we had breakfast baked goods instead :)
DeleteLOL #2 is cracking me UP!! yes, a little something for everyone... personally, our goalie is H-O-T but that's just me ;)
ReplyDeleteYes agree! Not a fan of the bushy beard, but it also helps that he is such a great keeper!
DeleteYou do have a cool office - if there is even mention of anything healthy or athletic in my office, I think an angel looses their wings. These people do NOT appreciate anything good for you.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad! Most people in my office are very into health and fitness. We're a child-health focused nonprofit, so I think that helps. Plus Santa Barbara seems to be very into healthy living.
Deletemost awesome thing in my week is still to come -- a couples' massage tomorrow. woot woot!
ReplyDeleteOoh so jealous! You married people have all the fun :)
DeleteThe food looks amazing! I've never tried a blogilates video. I'm going to have to take a look at the YouTube video. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chaitali! I highly recommend the workouts! Let me know what you think :)
DeleteOh holllerrrrrr at the Self.com celeb!! Congrats!! :) That Bey GIF sums up how I feel every morning - love it!
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks Michelle! I love that you wake up feeling like Beyonce. I'm not a morning person so I mostly feel like death. Will try channeling that Bey vibe to change that though :)
DeleteI love watching the world cup and keeping fingers crossed that the US advances. So cool you can watch the matches in your office.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Maybe if we send enough good vibes their way...I believe we will win. I believe we will win. :)
DeletePretty cool about self.com, congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteKyle Beckerman is pretty hot! I live in SL where he plays and I have seen him in person he is pretty cute. But I kinda love watching the dreads fly around on the field as he runs:)
Thanks! Your in-person Beckerman sighting would make some of my friends very jealous. When I see his dreads flying all I think is "that can't be very aerodynamic". Lol.
DeleteClint all the way!! My awesome plans include some summer cleaning of the closets and apartment! I am actually wayy too excited about that! Another one of those late 20s/30s vs. early 20 moments.
ReplyDeleteYay glad you are a Dempsey man too! Haha love the late vs early 20s reminders :)
DeleteYour stir fries look amazing! Making me hungry over here... that's cool that you got to see the game at work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cynthia!
DeleteOh I want to try Blogilates! And so cool that you got to watch the game at work!
ReplyDeleteYea highly recommend it! Can't wait until tomorrow's game!
