Weekly Wrap - Apr 15

Linking up with Holly and Wendy for the Weekly Wrap. Be sure to stop by their blogs to see what everyone else was up to last week.

I'm so happy to report that I finally filed our taxes. Yesterday. Finished that up with a few days to spare and it feels so good. LOL I never got around to them last weekend, so I'm glad I made the time this weekend, cuz time was no longer on my side. 😂

Workouts

I didn't feel super on Wed and especially not on Thurs. 😒 I ended up needing a rest day on Thursday, and I don't feel too bad about it. Sometimes, that's just life and you gotta be OK with it and move on.

One round = Streak Cred Two rounds = Bada$$ Three rounds = Ninja

Work can sometimes get so busy that I get sucked into projects and end up sitting way too long. Since the weather has been so perfect lately, I've been trying to get out for at least a 15-20 min walk a few times a week. I went for a walk on Mon & Tues during work. :-)

I wanted to run on Tue/Thu/Sat, but I just couldn't force myself out on Thu this week. Or Friday before work. Instead I grabbed running stuff so I could run after work before heading home. Other than some tech/user errors, it was a decent run! I paused every half mile or so for some triceps dips and incline push-ups.

@EnjoytheCourse threw in some extra walks and a hike with some coworkers. How were your workouts this past week? #weeklywrap

Yesterday was so gorgeous that I decided to take Sallie for a nice long walk. It ended up being about 2.5 miles and she was having such a great time! Me, too. :)

Last Week's Videos

With the 2 monthly challenges I'm doing this month plus running 3x per week, it's hard to get in any videos other than yoga. Maybe more variety will return next month. 😜

Core Power Morning Wakeup - 23 min - Yoga with Adriene

Slow Flow Jungle Yoga - 38 min - Five Parks Yoga ↠ This was incredibly slow moving. I found it difficult to concentrate on moving that slowly. I did get very sweaty, though, so it was definitely a good workout.
Head & Heart Reset - 24 min - Yoga with Adriene

Other Happenings

We had some bigwig visitors from our corporate offices in town this past week. One of them wanted to go hiking after work on Wed, so I was happy to plan something. It ended up only being 4 of us to go, but we had so much fun on our short, little hike. It had been pretty windy during the day but wasn't too bad for us while hiking. The weather was actually pretty perfect.

Thursday was a National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day, so I helped organize a little grilled cheese party at the office. We had 5 kinds of cheese (American, Provolone, Gouda, Sharp Cheddar, Mild Cheddar) as well as bacon, tomatoes, avocados, spinach, and some apple slices. Everyone made and grilled their own sandwich and said it was a fun idea.


It was also a fun mail week! I got some great socks for being a part of Club Tabio. I received 2 pairs of sports socks and one pair of fashion socks. I love the fashion socks. They're perfect for my workday walks when I don't bring walking shoes.

The April StrideBox arrived this week, too. I'm really excited to try the edamame spaghetti!

Not in the mail per se, but our corporate visitors brought us some company swag - SOCKS.
