Friday Fours

Cheers to surviving another week everyone! Before I jump into my usual Friday post, I wanted to talk about a new thing I'm adding to my weekly post. After reading over your thoughts and recommendations from  the survey I posted last week, I thought I would mix up my Friday Fours a bit and add my "Friday Finds" to the end of the post! I want to make sure you're loving what you're reading, and I think this addition will help to keep things fresh and interesting. I hope you enjoy it!

My friends and I had such a fun time at Dads Weekend last week! Even though it was pretty much a million degrees the entire time, it was super fun bringing my dad to a darty (aka day party at a fraternity!), tailgate and football game. We were able to do a little grocery shopping to stock up on some food for my room which was super nice, and we went to some awesome new-to-me restaurants too! Overall it was a blast spending time with my friends and all of our dads.

After what has seemed like endless days of 90 degree weather, it has finally cooled down for a bit here in Bloomington! I never realize how much of a struggle it is living in a warmer climate until September hits, but now that October is so close, I'm hoping the cooler weather is here to stay.

I have fiiinally found a way to balance healthy eating, working out and occasionally treating myself this week. I've been really trying to take advantage of the fresh salad bar and fruit that we have and honestly, it makes me feel a lot better to eat it than the carb-loaded main courses like pasta and pizza. In addition to eating, I've been prioritizing working out by scheduling it into my day. I'm trying a spinning class this morning and hopefully a class at Orange Theory some time this weekend. And when I'm busy during the week, an hour or so at the gym is a perfect pick-me-up!

My ~sisters~ and I have been spending a lot of time on our front patio lately, and it really makes me stop and enjoy my day more than I would normally. Things get so busy running around all day long, and it's great coming home to sit outside with my friends and talking about our day. 

FRIDAY FINDS:

Have a great weekend!
