Happy Sunday friends! 😀
I didn’t really get a chance to spend more than 5 minutes at the computer this weekend, so no fancy intros for today’s post. It’s my last day at Blend so I’ll be savouring those last moments before shedding some tears and flying back home. Hope you guys are having an awesome day, and make sure to check out these great links!

Great links in this post! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Lindsey (cottercrunch) always has the best posts!!
I’m digging the 10 lame fitness rules. So very true. I also loved Lindsay’s post on being an adrenaline junkie. So very on point. It took me a long time to learn how to balance my type A nature with a more balanced side and to be able to relax guilt free, but man it’s worth it every time.
Missing you already! 😥
Can’t wait to hear all about Blend!
Yesterday: Went to Pittsburgh Arts Fest with my dad, had Mexican dinner with my dad, long run (blah, boring)
Today: Went hiking with Angela and Erin, went to Whole Foods, watching Orange is the New Black 🙂
I’m excited to hear about blend! Lots of pictures please!
On the topic of those lame fitness rules, I keep hearing about this new 5:2 diet. You eat whatever you want 5 days a week and the other 2 days you eat just 500 calories. I wish I was making this up 🙁
Cheers for the link love and i hope Meg made you try that vegemite!
Cannot wait to read about your recapsssssss

Yesterday I: went to St. Jacob’s farmers market with JZ, made chipotle hummus, and had a going away party for Hayley
Today I: worked on some nutrition education sessions I’m in charge of, bought a few new dresses, and went out for sushi!
I miss you already!
Awesome list of links Amanda:) THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING ME!!!:) Hope you’re enjoying blend and have a great week!
Blend sounds like so much fun. I would love to go one of these years and meet everyone I’ve worked with/made friends with!
It took me a few years to work up the nerve to go, but it really is amazing to be able to meet people in person!
Don’t shed those tears! Remember it’s never goodbye but just see you later. Just start counting down until HLS already. (:
Blends sounds like a great retreat! Taking a break and just getting to know one another! What a great idea! Thanks for hosting and enjoy your break!
As always, love your links! The 10 Forgotten Truths was my favorite this week. Yesterday I went to the Farmer’s Market with my mom, took a nap, and showed some out-of-town friends around Dallas! Today I am going to go for a run, see a client, and watch the NBA Finals!
Yesterday: made a spreadsheet for $60, tanned, and made the best brownie fudgey UGH delicious cookies ever.
Today: tanning, reflecting, relaxing.
I hope you had a GREAT time at Blend! Safe travels home so you can make those sweet tater fries 😀
Those sweet potato fries… oh my! Can’t wait to hear all about Blend!!
