[ad_1]

Hiiiii! Completely happy Friday! How was the week? I’m grateful that it was a brief one.. I’m prepared for the weekend already. We blasted proper again into college, dance, and obtained to see Nate Bargatze final evening. SO hilarious and good.

This weekend will likely be spent cleansing up the San Diego aftermath, and I’m trying ahead to a few low-key days. We additionally begin our neighborhood detox on Monday! It’s not too late to hitch in. You can get your kit here (7,14, or 21 days use FITNESSISTA10) and be a part of our closed Facebook group here. Fairly just a few of us are doing an extended detox, so there’ll nonetheless be pals taking part everytime you get your package.

San Diego was the BEST. We loved 4 days in one in all our very favourite locations and in addition loved some new adventures. We skilled LEGOLAND for the primary time, took the ladies paddle boarding and kayaking (twice as a result of they cherished it a lot!) and we came upon P shouldn’t be a fan of Melting Pot lol.

We obtained in on Friday afternoon and determined to spend the afternoon purchasing at UTC, after which loved dinner at Seasons 52. We haven’t been to at least one in years – I maintain wishing Tucson will get one! – and it lived as much as the fond reminiscences. After all, the ladies cherished the mini desserts.

We known as it an earlier evening, and the following day, we awoke and it was raining. It not often rains in San Diego, regardless of June Gloom and Might Gray, and after being within the scorching Tucson warmth, it was fairly pretty.

I caught a Lagree class

whereas the crew grabbed Higher Buzz for all of us,

after which we headed out to paddleboard and kayak because the solar was popping out. P sat on the entrance of my board, and Liv used her personal kayak! We had been out on the ocean for an hour, and noticed jellyfish, leaping fish, and two sting rays. It was wild!

After paddleboarding, we went to Pacific Seashore for the remainder of the afternoon to swim and play within the waves. It’s humorous as a result of whereas we lived in San Diego, we averted the seashores throughout vacation weekends as a result of they had been so busy. Now, we don’t care in any respect. We’re simply glad to be there. 😉

Lunch was acai bowls in watermelons, salads, and low,

and dinner was at Melting Pot. We wandered round Gaslamp and since we didn’t have dinner reservations, Melting Pot appeared like it will be a enjoyable novelty possibility. Liv ended up loving it, and P was NOT into it. She was like, “Why on earth do I’ve to cook dinner my very own meals… this can be a restaurant?”

This explicit meal wasn’t my fave, both. The entire expertise lasted means too lengthy (and the youngsters had been drained on the finish of the day) and the meals wasn’t nearly as good because it has been up to now. We used to find it irresistible again within the day, however now, we’re not into poaching meat in a lukewarm pot lol. I might return only for the dessert course, however every part else was meh.

Sunday, we grabbed breakfast on the highway:

(the chocolate acai bowl from Nekter is LIFE)

after which spent the day at LEGOLAND.

P loves all issues legos, so we needed to take her earlier than she was too outdated, as a result of it’s undoubtedly geared in direction of youthful children. All of us ended up having a blast. The rides had been tremendous cute and enjoyable, the meals was surprisingly superior, and we had been all blown away by the unimaginable Lego sculptures and mini cities.

We did the entire main rides, loved lunch, and walked round exploring. Dinner was Pizza Port within the resort room, which was 10/10 as all the time.

Monday morning, we had been out on the water once more.

(Shorts, sports bra, and tank are right here. Livi’s jumpsuit is here. Additionally, I get a kick out of the truth that P can put on lululemon now)

This time, P and the Pilot did a tandem kayak, Liv had her personal, and I used to be on the SUP. It was the right approach to cap off our journey earlier than grabbing Nice Maple to-go and hitting the highway. We noticed SO many canines out on paddle boards whereas we had been there, too. I must take Maisey subsequent time!!

It was undoubtedly a visit for the books, though it was a brief one, we made probably the most of it. I hope you loved your Labor Day weekend, too!

TBH, I haven’t executed one of the best job fueling myself for the previous 5 months. The attention points have added a layer of stress to my life that was first characterised by skipping meals – I used to be too confused to eat – after which swinging in the exact opposite route, and simply consuming brown, comforting meals, and sweets. My blood work results had been a wakeup name that I must deal with myself the identical means I might deal with anybody in my household, or encourage these I like and coach to care about themselves.
