Look After Yourself

Treat yoself!

Even if the only thing you do today is treat yourself, that’s more than enough!

Remember, treating yourself doesn’t have to mean eating something unhealthy or spending money you can’t afford. We don’t need to go overboard to enjoy a little self-care.

For example, today I really wanted a brownie, but I knew if I ate it, I’d get a sugar rush and then crash. That would ruin my afternoon and make it hard to get anything done.

So here’s what I had instead of that warm, chewy, fudgy brownie. Honestly, part of me still wishes I’d gone for it, but I’m sticking with my healthy choice and want to share it with you.

While putting the brownie away, I remembered I had just bought chocolate granola from Trader Joe’s. I grabbed it from the pantry, filled a small container with yogurt, and sprinkled the granola on top.

So yeah, I’m feeling pretty good about me right now. I’m crash-free and ready to take on this weekend!

How I plan to look after myself this weekend and have a little fun

Tonight I’ll kick things off with a two-mile run, then come home, shower, and have some wine with my wonderful husband. Saturday is game day, so I’ll be yelling at the TV and in person. Saturday night will be full of dancing and laughter as my husband and I act silly on the dance floor. On Sunday, I’ll be back cheering for my daughter at her soccer game.

I’m ready to turn up and have a blast, and I hope y’all are too. We are all so fortunate to see another weekend; how lucky are we?
