Today I love...

1. Saturdays, first and foremost.
I woke up at 5:30 AM to workout before I went and taught boot camp and trained for the day. I ate my oatmeal and then remembered that my Saturday schedule was wide open and I could work out after boot camp, so I got back into my still warm bed...which I quickly decided is one of the BEST feelings in the world. Sleep does a body good.

2. Resistance Training & Friends. I know some of you are cardio fanatics, but I LOVE resistance training the most. After I taught Boot Camp I went to the gym by my house to burn a few more calories. I saw all of my favorite people there!! Benita and Janae I love you both.
Side note: I have to say THANKS again to Janae for the greatest lunch ever yesterday. We had massive salads and we sat and talked about how crazy we are for a couple of hours. I'm certain we could have stayed there all day.

 (Dear Janae...don't be mad I totally stole this pic from you blog. Also, don't be mad that I kinda look like I just woke up in the photo. Love you...Megs)
I also got to go with my amazing sister and her kids to enjoy some warm veggie soup at Jason's Deli last night for dinner. She is the greatest and I could hang out with her and her little munchkins ALL. DAY. LONG.

Seeing friends put me in the best mood and made me re-invigorated to burn some calories. I initially was going to go do some cardio, but I ended up doing some circuit work and lifting for another hour with Benita, and it was so much fun. We came home and played Dance Central with the Kinect and then went back to Pizza Factory for Salads AGAIN. Are you embarrassed for me? Don't be. It happens all the time. Am I a creature of habit? Yes. I told you...I really like salad bars.  It's so much more fun burning calories and eating healthy food when you are doing it with people you love.

3. My bed. Sometimes getting in bed with some sugar free hot chocolate and my computer makes me really really happy.

Oh and how blessed are long weekends? My work will be closed on Monday, so I get a three day weekend. I hope yours will be too...I feel good about that. Let's be honest, rest can be much needed and much appreciated.

3. Good Health. Today I watched the show, "Heavy," for the first time. Wow.
The people on the show were saying things like...

"I just want to be able to bend over and tie my shoes."
"I would like six jr. bacon cheese burgers, and 4 orders of chicken strips." (for one person)
"I feel like I have lost 40 years of my life..."

It is amazing how unhealthy America REALLY is. Sad, and also a great reminder to me that I want to active and healthy ALWAYS.

4. Peanut butter. Oh wait...that was a couple days ago...nope, that is actually EVERY DAY. :) I still have some of those healthy peanut butter cookies left over and I'm not mad about it.  I told you peanut butter is like the glue that holds this world together. But let's be honest, I just love food in general. 

5. Blogs. I am loving reading your inspirational posts, healthy delicious recipes, and awesome encouraging words of motivation. Please keep them coming. We can learn so much from each other.

What are you loving this weekend? I feel like my list is pretty descriptive of my day, and I feel reaaally good about it! I'll finish out the evening with a good meal and some fun plans with friends. Do you ever get back in your bed in the morning? I always have to be up and out the door so early I don't get the chance, so I definitely took it when I had it.  What are some of your favorite blogs to read? There are so many out there that I'm SURE I'm missing some of them! Fill me in peeps, and have an AWESOMELY relaxing weekend.
