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?
Your Turn
I’d love to hear how you’re taking care of yourself this weekend, so feel free to share every detail!
You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

You plan sounds good to me. I won’t run, maybe walk though. We will treat ourselves with good food, music (my husband) and crocheting (me). Last winter I started a crocheting spree that is still ongoing. I love to create clothes and work with beautiful colours. At our age, treating ourselbes is a bit more sedate. 😉
Enjoy yourself! ❤

Wow! What a weekend. Larry and I are continuing repairs at the lake house. Today is the dock. So far, it’s not looking good but we’re trying. Tonight we have an event at one of the local wineries and then we’re going out to dinner! I might even wash my hair! Hugs, C

I love this post, Bella! So full of gratitude and enjoying life! Your food choice looks good too, even though the brownie sounds delicious! 🙂 Last night, we enjoyed wine and dinner out. The rest of the weekend will be spent writing and doing things around the house. We’re going to sell next year, so we’re slowly purging and making improvements. Enjoy, and dance like non one is watching!
