sidenote: I wrote this post Saturday afternoon, but it didn’t publish. So, I’m actually posting it Sunday night instead. Can’t let a post go to waste!! Recap of the rest of the weekend to come on Monday.
I have been having a serious itch to go biking lately. The problem is that I don’t own a bike. boo! So, I opted for the next best thing this morning and went to an 8am spin class. It was not fun dragging myself out of bed on the one morning I get to sleep in a little, but it was so worth it! I knew it would be – it always is, right? Anyway, I realy enjoyed spinning, and I’m definitely planning on hitting up another class this week. If you’ve never been before, I have to warn you – it is tough stuff! I went to my first spin class soon after we ran our marathon last year, and I thought it’d be a piece of cake. Boy, was I in for a suprise!
Speaking of our marathon, this weekend is the one year anniversary. I cannot believe it has been that long! My little cousin is running it this year, and we’re contemplating going to see him tomorrow. As you know, we have friends staying with us this weekend, though, so I’m not sure if we’ll be able to make it!
Ironically, the friends who stayed with us last night are the same friends that ran the half marathon last year. We met up with them before the race.

After spin this morning, we had a green monster partay!
The goods. You’ve gotta give people options! Everyone ended up going with my recommendation: cocoa bliss and frozen cherries…with the other usual staples of course. I loved getting to make gms for everyone…so fun!
Spreading the GM love totally made my day:)
Our friends, Jason and Emily, and their baby Kate are coming in this afternoon as well. We’ll be spending time with them this afternoon, and then we’re all slated to go to a friend’s wedding tonight. It’s an outdoor wedding on our university campus, so it should be fun!
I hope you all are having a great Saturday!
Hi! I’m Candice! Welcome to my blog, and thanks for stopping by. I am a 26 year-old high school English teacher by day, which keeps me pretty busy. When I’m not working on school projects, you’ll find me spending as much time as I can with my husband, Jon, who also happens to be my number one fan and takes care of the “behind the scenes” aspects of ChiaSeedMe. I love eating clean, cooking up new clean recipes, exercising, fixing up our house, playing with Olive (our yorkie) and blogging of course! I started this blog because I am passionate about healthy living and want to share my experiences in hope of inspiring someone else to improve their health and life. Also, I just love meeting other people through the blog world! I’d love to hear from you – so drop me a line in the comments or hit up my contact page!
I agree with you on spin being tough. I had no idea how hard it was going to be the first time I tried a class. It’s surprisingly fun though. I think it’s the music that always gets me through.
