Happy Monday, friends!\u00a0 I hope you all had as fabulous as a weekend as I did.\u00a0 Why was my weekend fabulous?\u00a0 Well, mostly because I did not have to RUSH around anywhere.\u00a0 You know what I am talking about, those weekends where you have so much going on and then you end up being exhausted by Sunday night?\u00a0 That is pretty much most weekends for me, but every once in a while I have a weekend with no set plans and it’s awesome.\u00a0 I literally did not do my hair, put on makeup and wore workout clothes all weekend. Bliss.<\/p>\n

Friday night Shain and I stayed in and ordered pizza from this new spot in town and it was yummmmy.\u00a0 We love to support our local small business and Firehouse Pizza will for sure be on our Friday night menu again in the future.<\/p>\n

Saturday I went to an 8am class at Crossfit Oswego and then a group of us headed to Crossfit Plainfield to celebrate their grand opening with a team WOD.\u00a0 It was SO fun.\u00a0 The workout was “Murph” which is a warrior WOD.\u00a0 A warrior workout in Crossfit is typically long and grueling which is our way of paying respects to a fallen soldier.\u00a0 “Murph” is a 1 mile run, 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 air squats &\u00a0 another 1 mile run.\u00a0 What, that doesn’t sound fun to you? That’s okay, this means you are normal.\u00a0 The good news is we did this in partners, so we each did 1\/2.\u00a0 Probably a good thing, because my body already hurts today so I cannot imagine what I would feel like if I had to do the whole thing!\u00a0 It was such a fun atmosphere, crossfit gyms from all around the area came to support and join in the “fun”.<\/p>\n

OH and I almost forgot the best part, the PALEO TREATS.\u00a0 There were these amazing paleo cupcakes that I DEVOURED.\u00a0 I actually had one before the workout because they were staring me down saying EAT ME I AM AWESOME.\u00a0 Cupcakes don’t lie.\u00a0 The treats were made by Cindy and Bernie\u00a0 who are CFO members that run a Paleo catering business.\u00a0 They literally make meals for people every week.\u00a0 If you are in the Aurora\/Oswego area, check them out on facebook: Cinderellapaleo Catering<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did have to head into the office to work a project, but somehow that did not feel as bad since it was Saturday and I was not required to look nice \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Later that night, I did my big grocery shop and cook-up for the week.\u00a0 I love blasting music, drinking wine and cooking up my food.\u00a0 It was a bonus that my good friend Michelle came over while I was doing this, so I had good company!\u00a0 On the menu this week is meatza, seasoned chicken with kale & potatoes, rutabaga hash-browns & pistachio encrusted salmon.\u00a0 YUM. The goal is to make sure Shain doesn’t eat everything before Tuesday (yes this has happened, especially with meatza).<\/p>\n

Sunday I had a full day of awesome clients and then Shain and I literally laid around the house. I was able to get some reading in and write a few blog posts for this week, yay!\u00a0 I feel energized and ready to have productive week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
