I had a fabulous weekend. Considering that my new roommate that came in on Wednesday locked herself in her room over the weekend and is leaving for home tonight and has made my house feel super awkward since her arrival, it was fantastic.
On friday, walking home from work, there were two moose blocking my way so I called my neighbor to pick me up (I was literally just half a block but there was a sow and a calf and well... its icy and I didn't like my chances). She pulled up, and I slipped getting in to her car. I caught myself "breakdance style" but still partially slid under her car. I thought for a moment I might have sprained my wrist.
Eating wise, Friday was not so good. I had gone out to lunch and gotten a salad. Just before dinner I had a long conversation with my roommate, trying to convince her to stay. She wasn't having any of it. Went to Spenard Roadhouse, grabbed some alcohol and a burger with avocado and tots (which they're FAMOUS for) then headed off to Sugar Spoon where I got a 12 oz. skinny chai latte and a slice of chocolate crumble cheese cake.
That meal of course is what prompted me to go to the gym on Saturday, which I left feeling awesome. I am excreting awesomeness even now. I did realize as I was walking down the stairs that my thigh hurt a bit, it took me a while to realize it was from the fall the day before. That didn't stop me from 35 minutes on the elliptical and 20 minutes on the treadmill, 5 of which I spent RUNNING. Awesome. I can't wait til its the whole 20 minutes! I bought some apple juice, and a protein shake and went to town on both of them once I got home.
Then I cleaned around the house for a bit, before going to see Narnia: The Dawn Treader. I'm not really into the Narnia fandom, and haven't seen the second one. It was in 3d and I couldn't understand why, but other than that I really enjoyed it. For dinner I had rice and bean tacos with gaucamole. It was nice.
Sunday I did a lot of laundry, watched a couple of movies, and then finally went on a mini road trip down to Portage Glacier with my neighbor and her friend. The drive from Anchorage to Girdwood is one of the prettiest drives in the country. I become so awe-inspired every time I get to go, and I feel honored to view the majesty of Alaska. Surely there are prettier places in Alaska, but that this one is so accessible just adds to its beauty, I think.
I came home, made vegetarian stroganoff (which I couldn't decide if it was good or not... I didn't go back for seconds.) finished doing some laundry and hit the sack. It was exactly how a two day weekend should go. Busy, but relaxing. Fun, with a side of cleaning. And somehow managed to lose some weight. Quite impressed!
