<\/a>Scott and I had the most relaxing weekend. \u00a0Friday was my birthday and I tried to take the day off and enjoy some things l love.<\/p>\nThat didn’t quite work out as planned, everything from getting a walk cut short to over cooking some steaks. \u00a0Bah! I wasn’t going to let that one day dictate how the whole weekend was going to be though.<\/p>\n
Saturday we headed out because I wanted to hike Horsetooth. \u00a0I know it’s a popular trail but it is really pretty and we have yet to hike that whole trail. \u00a0We arrived and the trailhead was full so it was closed off. \u00a0We drove around and found another trailhead that was still open and decided to check it out.<\/p>\n
So glad that we did! \u00a0We did about a 6 mile hike (out and back) and part of the trail was up a steep incline. \u00a0We weren’t able to go all the way to the top due to time constraints which was a bummer but we still had an awesome hike. \u00a0The weather was perfect with a slight breeze keeping us from getting too hot.<\/p>\n
We came home and had a really comforting meal of meatballs and polenta. \u00a0No picture because I was too busy stuffing my face!<\/p>\n
Sunday, the weather was even better! We had a sunny 80 degree day. \u00a0Scott and I, and the two punks, spent as much time as we could just lounging in the backyard soaking up all that glorious sun and warmth.<\/p>\n
Saturday I rarely checked my phone and Sunday I didn’t even go on my computer once.<\/p>\n
It was the perfect weekend.<\/p>\n
Taking time to unplug and just be present and in the moment is so important. \u00a0I think sometimes we get so focused on staying up to date and trying to document everything we forget to actually live it. \u00a0One of the weekly challenges in my accountability group is taking time to unplug.<\/p>\n
I love this idea so much that I will be running a challenge group focused on this concept. \u00a0The group will start in April and will be more introspective.\u00a0 Instead of focusing on food we will working\u00a0on self-care. Things like making sure to get enough sleep each night, taking time to unplug each day, and spending quality time with people we care about.<\/p>\n
Self-care is so important for our heath and well-being! \u00a0I try to incorporate this into each day. \u00a0If you’re interested in joining my April challenge group just let me know! \u00a0It’s a free group, there is nothing to purchase. \u00a0It will run for 21 Days and we will be doing little exercises each day that are geared towards self-care and taking time to unplug.<\/p>\n
