The Productive Weekend Of The Summer!

Well, as most of my friends have an awesome four day weekend, I’m sulking in the corner because I DON’T! We have Tuesday off but we have to work Monday. How silly. Anyways! I’m happy either way because our weekend was productive and we FINALLY checked off a bunch of stuff off our to-do list around the house.

I tried to run but was too sore. We settled for a quick walk!

Saturday

Throughout the week, I heard about this amazing place in town offering Cryotherapy. I know there’s plenty of businesses in Houston that offer this service but a friend visited this specific location and had an awesome experience. Plus, they offered compression therapy with the Normatec boots! I’ve seen professional runners swear by these and I was super excited to have found a place where you could walk in and get the therapy without needed to have a referral or go through a physical therapist.

Jordan walks a lot at work and he has been complaining of stiffness in his calves and shins so I dragged him along. We chose to do the Compression Therapy and the Cryotherapy! I’ll have a full post up on this on Wednesday but it was such a blast. I really like trying out new things with Jordan and even though he was nervous at first, he really enjoyed it. He wants to go back soon!

Jordan LOVED cryotherapy!

After our session at The Athletic Room, we drove down the road to try a juice and smoothie place. I had seen this place as it was being built and I was curious to try it. Jordan normally doesn’t go for places like this but he was willing to try a smoothie that was mostly fruit, haha! You have to have ninja skills to get him to eat his greens sometimes!

We made a quick pit stop on the way home at Lowe’s to pick up some materials for our yard work. Our backyard is looking better each time we work on it but it seems like it’s never ending. Well, especially when you have a certain way you want it to look! Since we got home around 1 in the afternoon after all our adventures, we decided to relax a bit and wait for the sun to go down before starting the yard work.

It took us about two hours to tackle the back yard. My husband mowed while I moved my mom’s plant into a new planter. I have no idea what it is but we think it’s a shrub of some sort. I literally cannot grow anything but tomatoes so I’m hoping this little stick lasts a while! My job was ripping the vines off our back fence. The previous owner just let it grow wild and the tree trimmers only took off so much. It was a combination of hacking and pulling but I got most of it off. Unfortunately, I found out that it’s coming from our neighbor’s yard so I can’t dose it with fire and burn it to the ground. Kidding! It was very frustrating to say the least!

Sunday

For some strange reason my phone reset itself overnight so my alarm did not go off when I needed it to. Jordan and I went for a quick walk around the park but I wasn’t feeling too hot. After breakfast, we stayed home and worked around the house. Jordan cleaned the closet out and his mancave. While I worked on my blog and my computer. It was nice to finally take some time to get some work done. I had been putting it off way too long.

Jordan and I went out for lunch. We stopped at Lowe’s yet again for some more supplies. We were taking advantage of all the sunlight we had. Especially since the rain lately has been spontaneous.

What’s a Sunday afternoon without a nap? Jordan was sweet enough to let me nap for a glorious two hours. I’ve been so tired lately and I don’t understand. I’ll have to keep an eye on it because being tired all the time isn’t fun, y’all!

The second session of yard work was for the front yard. We have a big magnolia tree up front so we try to make our yard look put together. We’re the only house in the neighborhood that does their own yard work so the pressure is on!

We finished the evening with pizza and movie time. It was busy but fun! I love weekends like this. I’m ready to enjoy myself this week. 

What are your plans for the week?
