Yay for Friday, ya’ll. It feels like a good day to just chat it out + update you on life and all the random sh*t on my mind right now. Overall I'm feeling very productive + good about this week. Some weeks are the complete opposite so I always try to take advantage of recognizing the good things when they're happening, big or small. Here are a few positive moments about my week/month!
Let’s start with marathon month at Orangetheory- I’m getting *so* close to hitting my goal. I signed up to run a half marathon which also pushed me to bump up my membership to an elite plan. I was only going four times a month before and can go eight now. I’m just so excited and proud about my progress— I currently have 10.91 miles out of the 13.1 completed AND I still have three classes left! Coming from power walking in class just four times a month, this is major progress for me!
If you need some encouragement— it feels really good to do something new and push yourself. Just do it! It can be hard to start sometimes but trying new things is sort of like a domino effect. It often leads to other positive outcomes or changes you weren't expecting. Signing up for the marathon not only pushed me to add in the extra classes but also to start running during class + even going at different times. It sounds a little silly but I never thought I'd find myself at the 7:30am class on a Saturday, ya'll. I struggle with being a morning person so that's a big W and I felt great afterwards.
Today I went to the 5:45pm Friday class which was also new for me + then treated myself to a little solo date at Saladworks after. 💁♀️ Y’all know my obsession- it’s so good. I'm crossing my fingers they come out with a yummy fall salad soon-- I need gouda cheese back on the menu!

Guess who also played BINGO this week and WON TWICE. My Chick-fil-a hosts is every once in awhile and it's SO fun, ya'll. Totally get the hype! I even had my Mom and Dad come and play with me too, hahahahahhaha. It's giving Golden Girls Era but I'm here for it.
Update on the Salt & Stone deodorant-- love it so far. Smells great and has been holding up really well so far even during my workouts. If you missed the unboxing post, here it is!
I made some good progress decluttering this week too. I've been pushing it off for and finally just forced myself to go through and cleaned out the clothes in my dresser. I've been holding on to old stuff I never wear which has lead to zero room in my drawers + just chaos. I was also at the point where my drawers were so full, I could barely get them open. I ended up buying another jumbo storage tote for pieces I don't wear much + made a separate trash pile. For some reason clothes are hard to purge- I think there's a level of nostalgic attachment involved that makes us hold on to them. I'm nowhere near done but inch by inch, right?
Is it sad that the highlight of my week is decluttering and playing bingo?? Lol. I know this week and post are super rando and all over the place. Real talk though-- I'm constantly reminded that the little things bring the most joy. Things like winning a bingo prize or eating a yummy salad. I hope you've also had some little bright spots in your week! Let me know what you've been up to + if you have any exciting weekend plans? I've been on a little bit of a Netflix rom com so I plan to relax and watch another movie!
What was the best part of your week?
