What I Love About Sunday

this past week, I was in Cincinnati for work and pretty busy after. the summer is coming to an end and it feels like we're all trying to squeeze as much in as we can! Fall is starting to look pretty nice (I know, I said it).

the BEST prize 'basket' I ever did see :) the perks of bridal showers.

What I Love About Sunday

Just as we thought summer was coming to a close (and it technically is), the weather surprised us and warmed back up to 80 degrees this weekend. Buffalo will do that to you.

YouTube just doesn't cooperate sometimes, and forces me to link the video.
I was introduced to Bear Mountain about a week ago and instantly downloaded their album.
Here's one of my faves.

My Week with Food

I know it's only Wednesday, but so far, my week with food has been quite an eye opener.
I've been on a really good path with eating healthy, going to the gym 4-5 times a week and really focusing on myself. I am my own worst critic, and always thought I could be doing better.
Until this week. My job (department, specifically) deals with a lot of television and radio sales reps. This week involves previewing new fall programming, as well as many, many delicious but unhealthy lunches.
I guess I really was doing great before, because I have literally felt like CRAP this entire week. I know I should be able to control my portions. I know I should be able to balance this shitty food with healthier, greener foods when I get home. But once you have a meatball sandwich, why stop there, right? (WRONG).

I've tried the good old 'get up early and work out before work' thing, and let's face it, that doesn't happen. So, here's to another heavy lunch, and the county fair later, and to most likely gaining 5 pounds just this week.

this bright orange/coral blush; not as shocking as it looks

the county fair; a true sign of summer and that it's coming to an end

Slowing it down a little. So glad they released a new album :)

Outside of the Box

Lately, I feel like I'm getting stuck in the same, boring routine week to week.
That's one of the many disadvantages of having an office job; you work, go home, have 3-4 hours to do whatever you have to do, go to bed and repeat. For 5 days.
No wonder why the weekend comes and I'm rushing to run a bunch of errands, wanting to drink the week away and sleep all at the same time.
To solve that, I've been pushing myself to do more things during the week - why not? Who needs 8 hours of sleep, really. Get out there, do things. Go to the movies on a Wednesday. Get drinks with friends on a Thursday. I didn't say I was getting crazy.
Some week days, I'll get really daring and swap out the lunch-from-home with an hour out of the office.
Do you know how many people are just hanging out? In parks, riding their bikes, walking their dogs, enjoying the sunshine?
WHAT DO THEY DO!? I become instantly envious of this life they have, this life that I just made up, because really, who knows what their situation is. But they aren't in an office 9 hours a day (or at least going to be soon). They are outside, soaking up the sun, and that's all that matters. I bet they aren't rushing to get 4 loads of laundry done in one day.
