My Favorite Things- Fitness Edition

Happy first day of summer! To me summer starts Memorial weekend but today is special because it's the first official day of summer!! I'm linking up today with Across the Hall in 2nd, My Favorite Things, this time fitness edition! What better time to be working on your fitness than bikini season?

A month ago my favorite things would be completely different. I would have said I love my gym, the fitness classes they offer and running inside and out. Since summer is here and I have moved I am no longer a member of my gym. It's also hard to find a time outside where it's not too hott to go running. I'm currently trying to change my fitness schedule and find something that works for me. Here is what I'm trying, keeping in mind I will not be joining back at the gym until August. 

Running Outside

early in the morning, or late in the evening

I don't want to let the heat stop me from running but I am going to adjust the time of day I go! 

Walking

When I just don't feel like running, walking is the perfect exercise. I plan on going on lots of walks this summer.. walking my dog, walking with my mom, walking on the beach, on local trails, the possibilities are endless! 

Indoor Ab exercises 

That's it for exercises but there are a few more fitness favorite on my list! 

What are your summer fitness favorites? Link up with Across the Hall in 2nd and share! 

Craig Woolard

Happy Thursday friends! Since I am on summer break I haven't been longing for the weekends like I used to, but I still find myself excited when I know it's almost Friday. I think I'm excited because I know my non teaching friends are ready for the weekend! 

I went shopping yesterday in hopes to find a new bathing suit top for a vacation to Orange Beach coming up. I did not find a bathing suit but I DID find lots of other goodies that I did not need but just had to have. It's hard to turn down a good deal at the outlet stores! My favorite purchase was this new watch I bought. I have been wanting it for a LONG time and held back but I finally gave in yesterday. 

I also scored this pink J-crew skirt that I wore out to see Craig Woolard last night! Some of my best friends were in town so we all went to see the Craig Woolard band at a local beach bar. I am a HUGE fan of this band and have seen them several a million times. We had an absolute blast, even making it on stage at one point during a tribute to the "ECU girls". I think our group was known since we were front row and dancing the entire time. 

Us with Craig himself, showing some Pirate pride! 

This blog post is coming a little late in the day because the girls rested up from our big night by laying out on the beach all day. Tough life right? I'll be enjoying my last night at the beach with Justin tonight before heading home tomorrow ): I can't be too sad though because I will be Orange Beach bound with my mom this weekend! Happy almost weekend!

Recap

I've been visiting Justin at the beach since Thursday of last week. The past couple of days have been nothing short of amazing! We have had SO much fun just hanging out and relaxing. There have been lots of good meals, some bike rides, some beach/pool time, and several movies taking up our time. 

Convertible Cruising(:

We made a visit to Wilmington to see some of my friends last weekend. There was a free outdoor Zack Brown Band cover concert downtown. Downtown Wilmington is such a gorgeous and fun place to be!! The atmosphere is definitely what made the night. 

My friend from my hometown 

I blogged a couple days ago about my moms green beans wrapped in bacon that were SO good. I attempted to copy her and made those, barbecue chicken, and squash for dinner one night. Delicious if I may say so myself!

Taco Tuesday! 

Tonight we are meeting a few friends to see Craig Woolard play. I'm a huge fan of his music and absolutely cannot wait!! There are few things better than summertime+good music+good company. Happy Wednesday!
