Weekend In Review – Flywheel, Blue Apron and Death by Bike Ride!

Hello there!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that it was at least somewhat sunny where you are! I actually had a pretty jam packed weekend full of time with friends and family, so I’m a happy girl. The only thing that could have made it better would have been more time! Isn’t that always the case though? Anywhoo…

I’ve been exploring some new to me fitness studios in the area lately and had the chance to check out Flywheel for the first time this weekend. I’m planning on writing about my experience in a separate post, but I can say that I’m absolutely addicted and trying to figure out how I can fit in enough classes this month to make it into the 2,000 power point group! I already have 261, so I only have 1,739 left to go!

I also had a chance to check out Blue Apron this weekend. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Blue Apron, it’s a meal delivery service where the ingredients and recipes for the selected number of recipes are delivered straight to your door step for your tasting pleasure.

I thought this would be a good way to try some new recipes and venture out of my culinary comfort zone. The first meal I tried was the spiced turkey meatball pitas and I still have two more meals to go. So far, I like the convenience of having meals delivered to my door, the healthy fresh ingredients they use and the variety it adds to my meals but I’m not sure it’s something I would do on a regular basis.

I spent most of Saturday shopping with my mom and aunt for some decorations to make my apartment feel a little more homey. I’ve been in my new apartment for almost a month now and have yet to hang a single thing on the walls. I am happy to report I picked up three new wall decorations. Now all I have to do is hang them up! 🙂 While I was shopping, I came across this sign and thought it was too cute not to share!

On Sunday morning I met up with Matt and Jenica to attempt to learn how to ride my bike before the 25 mile Tulip Pedal next weekend. Eeekkk. I found out that when I took my bike in to get a tune up done on it a couple of months ago, they forgot to tighten up the handlebars so they came loose a few blocks away from my apartment, which put an end to our ride since I didn’t have the tools on hand to fix it. It was a mildly terrifying experience but hopefully I will get the hang of riding it, once the handlebars are fixed.

The three of us met up again later on in the day to make some funfetti popcorn balls and a delicious homemade pizza for dinner. YUM!
