Hey yo! If you took the day off yesterday you can find my Week #1 training recap for Chicago HERE.
While Memorial Day is much more than just a day off of work, I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in until 11am on a Monday! Cecil did too!
Adam and I went out for some lunch and then got our grocery shopping done. I don’t know about you, but when I’m just moseying around on the weekend I hate lugging my big purse with me. I usually just bring a little wristlet when we go out.
A couple of weeks ago JimmyCase reached out to see if I would be interested in trying out one of their phone wallets. Of course I said yes, I mean how convenient does this look?! You can fit up to six cards along with cash in the case with ease!
I asked for the gold and maroon case because it reminds me of my house, Gryffindor ;). It comes in a variety of other colors if you’re not a Harry Potter fan though!
I have the iPhone 6S Plus which is quite big, but even with the case on it still fits in my wristlet with plenty of room to spare.
Without having to stuff a wallet or a card case in there along with my phone I can now fit my keys and even a few makeup essentials. Thanks JimmyCase, I really love it! I think I’m going to get my dad one for Father’s Day!
After Adam and I got home from running errands we hit up the gym.
Monday is my designated rest/cross training day. I plan to make it a total rest day most weeks, but I felt a bit lazy since we didn’t do anything all day so I did some light cross training. A little bit of “hiking” on the treadmill with incline and then 35 minutes fat burner on the elliptical followed by my stretching routine.
When we got home I sunk into the couch and enjoyed that “nothing to do on a Monday” feeling! I probably should have taken a shower first but, YOLO! I know you guys won’t judge me for this. I can’t be the only one who has ever done it!
I hope that you had a relaxing Monday too – or a productive one!
Let me know what you got up to in the comments below!
Did you have a relaxing or productive Monday?
Who else BBQ’d this weekend?
I definitely had a relaxing Monday! i kept thinking it was Sunday so its nice that now its already Tuesday! I should have worked out yesterday and made today a rest day, but oh well, it felt good to relax on a Monday without work!

I’m right there with ya, it’s definitely nice that it’s already Tuesday although I don’t know how I’m going to get a full week’s worth of work into four days! I should have prepared better last week!
Wristlets are very cute! I have several but rarely use them because I do like lugging around a bunch of stuff. 😉 I generally use them for weddings because I don’t have any purses that go with my very fancy dresses.
My Monday was both productive and relaxing!

OMG you’re crazy! 😀 I hate lugging around a big purse. If women’s pockets were as big as men’s pockets I would probably just stuff everything in there and not even use a wristlet! Where is the pocket equality?! It’s 2016!
Gryffindor, yay for the Harry Potter reference lol.
We did a remembrance run Monday morning then pretty much relaxed the rest of the day. We head up north this week so we will have a pretty crazy week.

Ohhh how exciting that you’re heading up this week!
Hahah yes as soon as I saw the gold and maroon I knew which one I wanted! 🙂
I did a whole lot of nothing yesterday. It was our first hot weekend of the year, so after being active on Sat/Sun and the heat finally catching up to me Sunday night, it was nice to take it easy on Monday. I did get a lot of blog writing done, if that counts as being productive!
I use a wristlet because I HATE purses. I hate lugging them around everywhere and I hate how they become so full of junk. Ugh.

Advanced blog writing DEFINITELY counts as being productive! I think some non-bloggers believe writing up a post takes five minutes and zero thought but even my simple posts take a good hour to write and select photos for!
I’m so with you on the junk part! When I was younger I used to switch my purse every day to match my outfit which helped me keep my bag decluttered, but these days I use the same purse for weeks on end and it ends up with EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink in it!
I love that wristlet. I carry a big bag into work each day but when I go out, I throw my phone, my $$, credit cards and a lipstick into my wristlet–works so great! Your day sounds great. We were busy from bell to bell on Monday–run, hike, BBQ x 2. By the time 8 pm rolled around I was exhausted but it was so fun and worth it.

Same, I love switching to the wristlet! I could probably use it all the time, I’m sure my purse is just filled with junk, but it feels more adult like to have a big purse …. hahha!
My big work bag is filled w/ food. Gotta keep the blood sugar up while at work!
I like the case!
I have a rule when we come home from the gym- nobody touches anything lol Peel off the clothes and straight to the shower! Kenny always teases he is going to sit in my spot. I usually wash the water bottles while he showers then I jump in lol
Author
Hahahah that’s a good rule to have! I try to live by that rule too, but yesterday I went bananas and just sat down! After my workout ended I had waited around for Adam for a little bit so I felt “dry” even though that just means the sweat had dried on me! I should go home and Fabreeze the couch!
I love that Gryffindor themed phone case!! I’m a reluctant Gryffindor… have been sorted into it twice, but in my hear I’m a Ravenclaw.
I think I have that exact same wristlet, very cute!
Author
I am the exact opposite! I’ve been sorted into RavenClaw but I’m totally a Gryffindor at heart!
