Happy Sunday, friendly faces!
I’m very much in need of a fantastical intro for this post, but I can’t seem to find one.

Thanks for sharing! Yayayay. Now more posts to tack on and read 🙂 Love it.
My weekend has been awesome! Went on a hike, explored more of my city, made our way to the beach, layed out by the pool, and then hung out with my niece and nephews for UFC fight night. Today I cleaned my house and went to visit my grandmother. She remembered me for a split second. It made my heart full considering she has Alzheimers.
You always share the best posts. Thanks for always giving me some great Sunday reads!
I’m glad you like them, Morgan! Thanks for letting me know 😀
When we go out for Mexican food, I literally eat the guacamole condiment with a fork, by itself. I am obsessed with avocados! All the other links look great too. 🙂
Hope there was something nut-free at the festival. Maybe bottled water?
There was, in fact, nut-free bottled water. And little else 😆
Yesterday: 10 mile run, 10 mile hike, ate my face off at a seafood place I love in Sausalito
Today: SoulCycle, farmer’s market, having a friend over for tacos + trashy TV
Great links, as always.
Yesterday: went to the Lakewood Summer Arts Festival, the farmers market, went for a run with the Hubby and made pesto.
Today (so far): washed an entire head of lettuce, made Banana Nut Muffins, did a load of laundry, unloaded the dishwasher, and balanced my checkbooks. Needless to say, I’m off to a great start,
Wow Amanda thank you so much for featuring my post! It makes me so happy to see the message of going beyond food/fitness and pursuing other life activities being spread <3. Hope you have an amazing Sunday!
It was a great post, girl! Hope your week is off to an awesome start 😀
Yesterday: work, nap, pizza night
Today: church, write, walk on the river with a friend
And just like that the weekend is over! Hope your week gets off to a great start!
Okay, I’ll be back for your more chatty post tomorrow then. Kidding ;). Thanks for sharing many great links again. Happy Sunday!
Blog blog blog for both days, at least it feels like it! Oh, and a long run. I’m hoping to get some more time outdoors today and detach from the computer.
I missed Meredith’s post. I’m off to read that now. Happy Sunday lady!
Thank you for sharing my link today 🙂 I hope it can help someone to see what’s really going on when we don’t get out period. Nothing will ever make me want to go camping by the way, nothing!
I have a hard time imagining you camping as well 😛 But what about glamping?
Yesterday: team taught BODYPUMP, consignment sale shopping, meal prepped
Today: made pancakes, going to Spin, baking bread
So many planks…so little time 😉 Perhaps I really should use this time off to work on core strength though with the running injuries I’ve had, probably can’t hurt!
Yesterday: went to the gym for the first time in ages, napped cuz that tired me out, binge watched all the youtube vids I missed while packing and moving last week
Today: hopefully heading to yoga soon, unpacking (maybe), grocery shopping (definitely)
Confession: I’ve been living in my current home for almost 4 years now and I -still- have a few boxed laying around that I haven’t unpacked 😆
