The weekend has finally coming to a close. Got a lot of things done, but also spent a lot of time taking my time. After being so busy these past couple of weeks/weekends, I can’t complain…ready and refreshed for another week! Let’s jump in to the week’s #FiveThings…
The Skimm
I understand that I’m a little late jumping on this train…but I’m officially obsessed with The Skimm. It’s perfect for those on the go, with honest and funny {honestly, it’s funny} recaps of what’s going on in today’s world. Their tagline? “We read. You Skimm”
I read it on breaks at work, and it catches me up on need to know info. Even election/midterm news, which is extremely important if you’re living in NC…Tillis/Hagan…Hagan/Tillis…things are heatin’ up down in North Cakalacky.
Work Salad
If I said I eat this 4 out of the 5 days of the work week, I’d be telling the truth. The cafe at my job has a variety of amazingly delicious food {and it’s subsidized…work perk}. However, since I sit all dang day, I try to be as healthy as I can. This curried kale salad has been my saving grace…
It’s full to the brim {the salad line people hook me up}. The ingredients?: Baby kale, cucumbers, carrots, red onion, real bacon bits, beets, mandarin oranges, blueberries, chopped blackened chicken, almonds and cashews, topped with curried dressing {they still won’t tell me the ‘secret’ ingredients in the dressing}.
After 5+ months, I haven’t gotten tired of it, I’m a creature of habit, what can I say? If anyone knows any good curry dressing recipes, let me know. 🙂
Nick Jonas
I’m a sucker for bad music.
But really, where did Nick Jonas come from? Left field, that’s where. {Almost} completely shaking his Jo-Bro sound, I can’t get enough of his new music. I love listening to it when I workout. My current favorite? “Chains”…
Split Jumps/Jumping Lunges
Call them what you want, but split jumps are in my top five of workout moves…ever. I’m not sure exactly what it is about them, but I always find myself completing three sets of twenty of these babies before my workout is done, most days of the week.
My New Cooz
Last weekend, when I went to Miami, my brother went home to Durham to participate in the Bull City Racefest. After the race there were, as always, a variety of vendors and sponsors where you could pick up some free SWAG {or as Michael Scott would say, “Stuff We All Get”}. Ryan decided to be a nice sibling and bring me back a themed Durham/Running coozie.
Classic. And extremely fitting for a place like Durham, if you’re not from there you probably won’t understand. Stay weird, Durham.
So there ya have it, what are your #FiveThings for the week?
