Labor Day Weekend

Does it ever feel like when you have a long weekend, it actually makes the weekend go by so much faster? This weekend was a busy weekend for us, but we had a lot of fun with friends we don't get to hang out too much with, so it was perfect.

Friday night we went to the Greek Fest in Swansea. The weather was perfect and reminded me of a fall evening! I had to wear a jacket! Saturday we took part in the Greek Fest in downtown St. Louis and it was nice as well. Both nights I had my favorite, Greek salad, and at both places it was delicious! Saturday night we walked down to Central West End and had to go get a cupcake from The Cup (aka The Cupcakery). Definitely not on the diet, but SOO worth it!

Saturday we had our CrossFit workout and it wasn't too bad seeing that we had some newbies joining our group. We did 4 reps of 10 wall balls, 15 slams, and 20 jumpballs. Then occasionally we had to do 5 push ups when Greg would yell "PUSH UPS". Thankfully, I'm not as sore as normal. We got home and had enough time to let Gracie out and mom and dad came over. Dad came over to fix an outlet we had outside that wasn't working and to cut down some of the trees we had growing on the side of yard. A few hours later and a huge pile of trees later, we cut down all of the trees on the side of the yard and trimmed up the trees in the back of the yard. It was a beautiful day though, so I'm glad I got to spend it outside!

Sunday was a day of relaxing and the typical house chores. Monday, we woke up and looked at new laminate for a kitchen floor. We went and had a Denny's breakfast (eggwhite omelet). See! Still healthy!!! We ran by Omar's to pick up a workout plan for Matt and then headed to Sams for some grocery shopping. They had some pretty good sales for Labor Day, too! Monday evening we had some friends over for a barbecue and enjoyed hanging outside playing bocce ball and washers. Once the sun went down, and the bugs started biting we headed in and played euchre.

All in all a pretty good weekend! And to top it off I lost six pounds this week! Yay! We will see if I can keep that pace up for the rest of the month! Hope you all enjoyed your labor day!
