Happy Monday Friends!

It's the first full week of 2014! Whoop! How do you plan on making 2014 you're best year yet? My number one goal for this year is to live more in the moment and enjoy every single day to it's fullest potential! That means I have to cut down on my stinking worrying. It's a work in progess always. :)

I started that off by enjoying a wonderful weekend with the hubs! We went to dinner on Friday night at a delicious new sushi restaurant in southwest Austin called Yanagi. Their sushi was amazing and they had traditional Japanese entrees for E too.



It was delicious, and just what I was craving. We kept it low key the rest of the night and just watched a movie at home.

On Saturday, I got up around 7:30am and squeezed in a TRX and kettlebell workout plus 30 minutes on the treadmill. After that, we went and scoped out a new doggie day care for champ to stay at while we're in Tennessee in a few weeks. It turned out to be such a beautiful day that E and I decided to spend the afternoon hiking around Town Lake. We did a fun 4 mile loop around the lake. Most of Austin had the same idea! :)


Sunday, was very low key. Full of laundry, grocery shopping, and a quick workout in the afternoon. E and I both squeezed in a little work in the afternoon as well. All that working made my brain crave a little healthy fuel so it was time to whip out the blender. I mixed some of my favorite smoothie ingredients together and added in extra omega 3's and MUFA's thanks to chia seeds and 1/2 an avocado. It was delicious.
