Week in Review - 7/30

Most of the week was kind of ho-hum. I had a little trouble recovering from BlogFest. I was so tired all week. It was a week that normally order Bountiful Baskets to pick up Saturday morning, but the thought of waking up at 5 AM was just too much for me, so I skipped it this week. It felt so good to sleep in until 8AM yesterday.

I'm feeling a bit more refreshed after sleeping in yesterday and kinda taking it easy. Plus the weekend ended pretty great with a Saturday evening hike and a super fun Sunday morning.

But first...

Highlights of the Week:

A book and a pedicure
Monday night I finally started reading a book. It's one of the bonus activities for my birthday challenge, and, for me, probably the most challenging one! I need to carve out more time to read, if I'm going to finish in the next 12 days.

Running & Fig Toast
I enjoyed a couple fun runs this week. Tuesday was a pretty dreary morning, but at least the temps were a bit cooler. Thursday was surprisingly a sub-10 pace run, which always makes me happy. This morning's run was fabulous going out, but the headwind coming back sucked the life out of me.

Sunday's Run

I followed Thursday's run with some delicious fig & peanut butter toast.

Birthday Challenge
I'm having so much fun with my challenge! There have been a couple days when I nearly missed doing the exercise, but so far I haven't missed a single day! There are just 12 more days (including today, which I've already finished), but feel free to jump in and celebrate with me any time!

I've been posting the exercises each day on Instagram and Twitter, or you can download the calendar here.

I meant to post a preview of Days 11-20, but here it is day 18 and I'm just getting the video uploaded. Here's the Part 2 review video instead.



Saturday evening hike
It's the end of the month, and we still had to get in a new hike! We wanted to take it easy, so we went to Exploration Peak Park. The hike up to the peak is only about 1/2 mile, so it sounded perfect! Here's a little video of our hike.



Tone It Up Vegas Meetup
I was nervous about attending this meetup. I'm not always so good in groups, but it started with yoga, so I decided to take a chance. I'm so glad I went! I'd met a few girls back in April at a meetup that was a boot camp style workout, but it was difficult to really get to know any of the girls (other than the one I was partnered with). Today's meetup was yoga at the M Resort, but most of us hung out at the resort's pool afterwards. It was a ton of fun to chitchat with so many amazing women! And total icing to get "recognized."

We even FaceTimed with Kat herself!

The whole morning was so much fun! Well, except that I forgot to reapply sunscreen to my face and it's a little red now.

How was your week?
Do you get anxious about group meetups when you don't know a lot of people?
