Well hello there! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I’ve been in Kansas City for almost a week now, and I’m heading back to Chicago this afternoon! It’s been quite a weekend and I got to spend a lot of time with family and friends so I haven’t been on my computer or taking many pictures, but I do have a few to share!
On Thursday I did the Turkey Trot 5K with my Dad (more to come later):
And that evening we headed to my cousins’ for Thanksgiving dinner. My mom and I realized we were almost outfit twins!
Friday I had lunch with a friend and went to an engagement party (congrats Bailey and Vince). Then on Saturday I got some work done at my favorite coffee shop, The Roasterie.
I was also inspired by Carly to take a selfie because I thought I just looked so darn cute. I love my hair curly but I got a haircut that I hate… so I might be straightening it a bit over the next few weeks.
After the Roasterie I headed to The Legends, which is where a bunch of outlet stores are. I got some great deals at JCrew and Ann Taylor LOFT, including this Peplum dress for 60% off! Who says you have to face the crowds on Black Friday?
While shopping my friend Bailey texted me to see if I wanted to go see Catching Fire. I am a big Hunger Games Triology fan and hadn’t seen it, so of course I was in! We started with some frozen yogurt (a must) and then headed to the theater. Before we walked in I saw this sticker on a car!
If you know what that means, then we can be friends.
The movie was AMAZING. Seriously. And I am again in love with Peeta. Love him. Moving on, Sunday morning I needed to get my 8 mile long run in, so I ran along the Trolley Trail in the Brookside area of KCMO.
It was a chilly but gorgeous morning and I cooled off even more with a nice ice bath! Refreshing…
Then it was back to the Roasterie for some coffee with another friend and then the CHIEFS GAME!
We won’t discuss that.
Now on to workouts! I have to say I really dropped the ball on Purley Fit Workouts this week. I kept up with my running but just never had either the time or the drive to do the Purely Fit workout afterwards!
Monday: Yoga
Tuesday: 3 miles + Purely Inspire Workout 14 (weights)
Wednesday: Purely Inspire Workout 15 (HIIT bodyweight workout)
Thursday: Turkey Trot 5K with my Dad! + Purely Life Workout
Friday: 4 miles + Purely Life Workout #35
Saturday: REST
Sunday: 8 Miles
And now here’s what I have going on this week:
Monday: Purely Fit Butt Workout
Tuesday: 3 miles + 20 min Purely Fit Low Impact Workout
Wednesday: REST
Thursday: 4 Miles
Friday: 3 miles + Purely Fit 21 Jump Rope Interval
Saturday: My schedule says 5K race, but I think I’ll just do speed intervals for 3 miles since I don’t really want to pay for a race… haha + Purely Inspire Workout 11
Sunday: REST
Do you have a hard time getting in your scheduled workouts when you’re visiting family or on vacation?
Have you ever taken an ice bath?
Did you get in any shopping over the weekend?
I rarely even try with official workouts on vacations or visits anymore – there’s always other things I’d rather do! Glad to hear that you had a great holiday at home and the dress is super cute!
Haha exactly – it’s hard to fit workouts in unless I literally have nothing going on!
Love that bumper sticker. I just bought the 8-disc set and have been re-watching them! Love the pics! Looks like a great trip 🙂
Oh now that is a good purchase!
i have watched SO much harry potter this weekend and i watched the chiefs (sorry about that btw) so i thought of you many times over the past few days! glad to hear you had a great break and seriously i’m in awe that you can get into an ice bath when it’s cold outside. i can’t even do it when it’s hot out!
The worst part was getting in and out, as long as you have something to distract you the middle part isn’t so bad.
I had full intentions of working out a lot over Thanksgiving break at my parents but I only ended up squeezing in a 3 mile run and a short upper body workout. I didn’t have the drive and figured it wasn’t worth it to force myself to do anything on “vacation”!
Looks like you had a nice time in KC!
Better to enjoy the time with your family!
That sticker is awesome. My favorite movies are Prisoner of Azkaban and Order of the Phoenix.
haha my favorite are all of them! Well, I do really like the Goblet of Fire
That Harry Potter sticker is awesome, I love it!! I’ve never done an ice bath. It terrifies me of how cold it’s going to be. I have a hard enough time with regular icing. LOL
You just have to grit your teeth and get in! The getting is the worst part
I WANT TO SEE Catching Fire SO SO SO SO SO SO BAD!!!!
Way to go on your 8 miler!
And yep, 93/4 is def from HP. Love that they had that on their car!
Oh my gosh it was so good. I hated when everyone said that though before I saw it.
Just saw Catching Fire tonight…ILOVEDIT!
ah so good!
This is random but what size do you wear in those Nike shorts? I want a pair and can’t decide if I should get a M or L.
I wear a medium and they’ve fit me through all my size changes over the past years, anywhere from 6-10 I’d say, but I have a larger stomach and smaller legs/hips. Lol I hope that helps!
