This tittle pretty much sums up the post. Well it it’s more like weekly snippets, but you get the picture.
As I mentioned last week, I took the week off from work. Self employed work. I only taught 2 classes at the gym and the rest of the time was spent reading, baking and cooking (not healthy bites), hanging out, catching up on domesticating, and spending time with family. Oh Turkey Trotting. My first race back in 2 years! I didn’t even wear a watch for that race either. Yup!
And as I sit here typing this, I am refreshed. I’ve got a lot of work this week, but I am so ready, mentally and physically. I am thankful and I am content. Ahhh, breathe it in, breathe it out.
Okay onto the pictures. I’ll probably explain more about these later, but for now, here’s a wordless snippet. 
Oh, and that last picture. Ya, that’s a new recipe. I accidently messed up a healthy bite batch yesterday so I added in an egg, milk, and more flour to create a Coconut Rum Raisin Dough Ball. Freakin UNREAL! A mistake that made me happy.
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday, slow and savory!
Cheers,
LC
p.s.
I posted a Small Business Saturday Special on my Healthy Bites Facebook page. Feel free to check it out. Ends Monday night!
I too had such a refreshing weekend!! I came back at it totally refreshed today and happy and calm. I want to capture this feeling and harness it anytime I get that uber stressy feeling. Or not allow myself ot get to that point in the first place!
So true. Stress prevention perhaps? Hehe
Wow fun first races back =)
Yes, I missed them!!
Hooray for relaxing & recharging week[end]s! Much deserved too!
P.S. Looks like you definitely learned from your “mistake”- cannot wait to try them!
huge mistake turned delicious. Love those!

LOVE life’s accidents, especially when they’re edible. Coconut Rum Raisin Dough Ball?! Yes.

You and you husband are adorable! That food looks so good!

Reading, baking, and hanging out with the family? Sounds like time well spent to me 😀 I actually think that I need a rest after my weekend, but I’m looking forward to the week… as long as ample amounts of coffee are involved!
i am with you on the coffee! i had 2 cups this morning!
Yay for your first race back! Isn’t it nice to run without a watch? You’re gorgeous lady!
its the best feeling! freeing!
I really needed this break, too. We head back Tuesday morning, and I love the feeling of losing track of the days and completely ignoring my “to do” list. 🙂 Glad you’re feeling refreshed!
i know, i kept thinking it was saturday on friday. LOVE THAT!
Sounds like the perfect way to savor the holiday! Glad you gave yourself time to recharge and enjoy what you LOVE!

This post made me smile. 🙂 I’m so glad you feel rejuvenated after your week off! Love all the photos too!
thank you friend. And we do need more of this rejuvenation! Yes!
You didn’t tell me you had dough balls. I would have totally stopped through on my way back home. 😉
Love these posts with all the pics – they speak volumes!
My Thanksgiving was very similar to yours and it’s amazing how refreshed you can feel when you just take a break. Sometimes we are forced to take one, but it’s worth it in the long run. I can’t wait for my Healthy Bites. WAHOO! xoxo
I’m so happy to hear you let yourself rest this week and took off everything worse wise. It must have been a beautiful reset to get your mind back in the game. Especially throughout the Thanksgiving week. The weekend looks like it was a blessing for you! Beautiful weather, people, and food!
GAH! you and your hubby are so cute together – and good for you for taking time off. we all need that!
Slow weekends are the best!!! LOVE all the pics of you guys, so sweet!!! Frame those!
Love you and happy Sunday love!
I’ve been loving a slower weekend pace myself, especially the nice lonnnnng weekend we’ve been having. I can’t say I’m thrilled entirely to get back to normal routine this week BUT on the other hand, every day turns into a blessing in and of itself so I’m choosing to look at the week ahead from that perspective. I’m taking YOUR words and putting them to good use over here, clearly. 🙂
PS LOVE the pics of you and the hubs, so cute!
