A lazy weekend!
Sometimes being lazy is good, right? That is how I would describe this past weekend- a lazy weekend. 🙂 We had no concrete plans on our calendar and so were able to just relax and do whatever we wanted to do. So how did we spend our time? Here is a rundown on how our weekend went down.
But, before we jump into the weekend- on Friday I got to spend the entire day with KJ and Ryan- I was in Grandma Heaven! I get so much love from these little guys and when I am able to spend time with them, I fall in love all over again. 🙂
Friday night found us at a local grocery that has pre-made meals for sale. I had a Lemon Rice soup and Dave got a piece of chicken and a pasta salad, both meals were tasty. 🙂 We try to eat out our local grocery a few times a month- it’s similar to Whole Foods and it’s usually very healthy and quick.
That night we watched a few episodes of a thriller we have been sucked into. It’s called Chance on Hulu. Are you familiar with it? It’s started off slow, and we even thought we were wasting our time, but by the second episode we were hooked.
Saturday morning was very lazy. We made coffee and lit the fireplace and sat and talked for two hours. It was so nice not to rush off anywhere. I told Dave this is what retirement will be like and he can’t wait. 🙂 He played some music for me, his favorite Simon and Garfunkel, and I started menu planning for the week. We ran a few miles and did a quick workout at home. We grocery shopped and made turkey burgers for dinner and then proceeded to the basement to binge-watch Chance. I think we watched three episodes, which is three hours of sitting…that’s a lot of sitting. Oh, and did I mention we ate popcorn and drank beer while we were watching? Yeah, we were bad. But did I also mention that before we became comatose in front of the TV I whipped Dave in ping pong? Yeah, I finally beat him at his own game and I loved it!
Sunday morning was spent at our local health club with our biking coach, Emon. This guy works you till it hurts. He plays the best music and he is so motivating. We usually burn 400-500 calories and bike 14-16 miles in our one-hour class. Then a quick work out on the gym floor to work our muscles before heading home to eat lunch. We decided to go to the movies and see a double feature. More sitting in front of a screen, I guess we couldn’t get enough of that. Anyway, the movies we saw were The Wife with Glen Close and Serenity with Matthew McConaughey. Both good in their own right. The Wife was serious and created lots of discussion between us and Serenity was weird but in a good way. It also created lots of discussion. I liked it better than Dave, and now I want to research it to see if the movie is about what I think it is about.
Sunday night I beat Dave in a few games of Sequence, and then we found ourselves on the couch again watching Chance.
And that is it my friends our version of a lazy weekend!
We did at least exercise during our laziness. I ran 3 miles, Dave ran 5. We worked out at home and the gym and we biked with Emon on Sunday morning. We ate somewhat healthy, avoided all the Super Bowl parties and bad food, and we watched a ton of TV and even made time for a double feature at the theater.
Maybe it’s because we are usually so busy and running around like crazy people that a weekend in front of a screen and fireplace was needed.
What would be included in your lazy weekend?
As I look ahead to next weekend we only have one event on the calendar…Chances are we will be watching Chance. 🙂
Just a few months ago at the White House. We need to plan another trip.
