Weekends Are For Living.

I seriously had one of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time.

I ate a lot of desserts. I didn’t work out. I spent so much time with friends.

I was a happy girl.

Friday: At work, I declared it “sit on an exercise ball and eat froyo” day. Why not?

Do you sit on an exercise ball at work? I almost flew off the thing several times whenever Skrillex came on Pandora. Things got a little too bouncy.

That evening, I went to Happy Hour at the Harbour Club with my dear friend Holly and then rounded out the evening with a beet salad from Il Cortile de Re.

Saturday: I woke up wanting avocado dip. So while eating my cereal, I made some. At 10 a.m. — I was excited!

The weather was beautiful, so Rachel and I went to the pool for a couple of hours and then Chick-fil-A for lunch. I splurged (just kidding) on a kid’s meal with grilled nuggets and fruit. IMAG2635

Yes, that is a side of pickles, and yes, we brought the avocado dip with us to use on the nuggets. And YES, I had an IceDream. IMAG2636

After lunch, we went to Target where I bought a cute new bikini…among other things.image

Then Kaye came into town! I love when she visits because we act like our true selves around each other: loud, silly, and filter-free. We have so much fun, it’s ridiculous. DSC00311

So much fun that at 2:30 in the morning when our legs were too tired from dancing, we  just leaned on trees. Hey, it’s just being environmentally friendly, right?DSC00319

PS: I love her little dominatrix Barbie outfit. But by the end of the evening, I was calling her funeral Barbie. So much black for Charleston!

Boding took good care of us though – as both our photographer and DD. He even sent us to bed with a giant glass of water. DSC00314

On Sunday, the three of us went to brunch at Crave. I asked Chef Landen for “something healthy, like eggs and veggies .” I received a giant spinach omelet, lots of grilled veggies, potatoes, fruit, and a side salad. IMAG2646

Needless to say, I have leftovers to hold me over for the next couple of meals.

What was the highlight of YOUR weekend?

Who is your friend that you can be 100% yourself around? How do you act?

    Such a great weekend! I love your dress and new kini. I had no idea that chickfila made grilled nuggets- a must try! Crave!! We haven’t been there since Easter- love. The salad looks yummy. Is that their new summer salad? I was obsessed with last years. Highlight of my weekend? Josh coming back from travel! And teaching Body step for the first time in forever ever.

    What a great weekend! It’s usually the ones that involve lots of dessert and no exercise that are the best ones! ;)

    The highlight of my weekend was going to a blogger meet up!

    I had an exercise ball at work and I LOVED it, but when I moved desks, I forgot to take it with me :( Wahhh!! Now someone else is bouncing around on my ball! (haha)

    OK…Am I able to get that omelet from Crave or is it special requested?? I need to try out so many places! Come with me?

    I was just talking to my Best Friends, Marion and Joy, about how sometimes it sucks meeting new people because you don’t want to scare people by being 100% yourself. LOL….We’re goofy, sarcastic and dance.

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

      they have a create your own omelet, so yes! let me know when you’re going next!

    1. What’s not to love about this post?!
    2. I LOVE your outfit in the first photo. I’m obsessed with white pants and still haven’t purchased a pair!
    3.I tried sitting on an exercise ball while working last week and I felt uncomfortable ha ha. It was too hard to draw and balance at the same time.
    4. I love Target’s line of swimwear and 90 percent of my bathing suits come from there. I saw the cutest one yesterday it brown and coral and I wanted to get it except I hardly ever swim so I got pajamas instead. It was this one here! http://www.target.com/p/xhilaration-juniors-multicolored-2-piece-crochet-accent-bikini-swimsuit/-/A-13986974

    5. That breakfast looks amazing! Love all the variety! 

    Hope you have a great week!

    Food looks delicious! I indulged big time this weekend! 

    Michal and I are like that. We have known each other for 24 years or something like that (since kinder). She is staying in town this weekend so I know we will have a wild weekend! Glad y’all had fun!

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

  • http://www.icouldbeordinary.com amanda

    awesome weekend!  i want to come work at your place. hiring? i think i’ve asked that before…haha.

    one of the editors i used to work for ALWAYS sat on an exercise ball. i loved it.

    cuteeee suit!

    luckily, i have a handful of FABULOUS friends who know me inside and out. and vice versa. we’re super weird and goofy and boozy and loud and simply outrageous. in my humble opinion, of course!

  • http://profiles.google.com/bamorris4 Brittan Morris

    Are you still not eating meat?? I recently vowed not to eat eggs. If you think about it, if you weren’t eating it, it’d be a baby bird. Just no.

    Love the bikini.

    Love friends like that. My cousin and I have always been close and our personalities are pretty much identical. We act like straight crazy people when we are together. I love it.

    Glad you had a nice weekend. :)  

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

      nah, i am again. that only lasted 2 months. :) i got really sick of eggs at one point too. just go with it!! :)

  • Erica Jordan

    love that hot pink/white pant number..so fashionista i can’t even handle it!

    oh and avocado dip…yes please! i could eat avocados like apples.

    xoxoxo

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

      hahaha i love youuuuuuuuuuu, come visit

  • http://twitter.com/CoupleofTravels Christina

    Is avocado dip the same as guacamole, or something different? I am wondering if the naming is an East Coast/West Coast thing?! Either way, can’t go wrong with avocados!! Love Target suits!

    Love that bathing suit! I almost bought it yesterday.
