Fridaze 056

Happy Friday, and happy Fridaze. Also happy first day of September! Can't believe we're almost officially in the fall season. While I'm sad to say goodbye to Summer, I'm also really excited for all the fall activities (and drinks...cough cough PSL).

As Summer winds down a bit, things tend to slow down for me. And honestly, I'm not complaining! As an Introvert, I love have slower weeks with some busier days sprinkled into it. Let's chat how this week's gone for me.

Staying home instead of going out

As I mentioned in recent posts, I've been feeling a lil overwhelmed by how busy the Summer's been. Last weekend, it was one of J's friend's birthdays. While I was invited, I didn't have to go. He was indifferent on whether I went or not, and by the end of it I decided to stay home.

It was honestly great, I played the Sims, had a few drinks, read, and had a lil dance party with Luca (my dog). It was a great time, and what I needed. Not having to put on makeup and get dressed up, instead putting on my PJs and staying comfy was my perfect Saturday night last week.

Pool Days

My parents have a pool, so over the weekend J, Luca, and I went over. The water was perfect, and it felt nice to spend the day outside. While we still have a few more months of good weather, it won't be this warm for that long.

I'm trying to go to the pool again this weekend!

Christina

I'm always trying to prioritize hanging out with my friends, and this week Christina and I checked out a new Thai spot! The restaurant itself was super cute, and the food was delicious. It's really close to my house, so I will 100% be back. As always, Christina and I got caught up with life, books, and TV. It's always nice sitting down and chatting with a friend for hours (even after we paid for the check!)

Working Out

This has been sprinkled in the past 3 weeks. I've gotten back into mindful eating working out. I have gotten to a weight that I'm not proud of. My clothes don't fit right, and I don't feel good about myself. I have been doing Madfit workouts and adding cardio once a week.

In the span of a little over a month, I have lost 5lbs! To reach my goal, I need to lose 6 more pounds. If I stay consistent, I will be able to hit my goal. It's easier to hit my goals once Summer is over, so I'm not too worried.
