A Cup of Catherine

Five Things Friday

by

Hi there, friends!

Although my days seem to run together now that I’m nearing my 6th week of staying home with a newborn (say what?…time is flying!), I’m excited that it’s finally Friday. I actually get to spend some time with my husband.

Since I’m severely slacking in the recipe, workout, and other blog-related activity lately, I thought I’d join in on Clare’s Five Things Friday link-up.

.Five Things I Ate.

Mellow Mushroom pizza (their crust is THE BEST but eating their pizza always makes me nostalgic for college days)

This giant honey crisp apple (so good!)

Too many doughnuts from Sugar Rush (maple bacon, French toast, and part of a Reese’s PB cup and apple fritter…YUM!)

ALL the satsumas (this bowl was more than twice as full a few days ago)

A chocolate covered cherry smoothie (with spinach added and some Greek yogurt in place of the cottage cheese)

.Five Pins.

I love Brussels sprouts, but these look incredible

I want this for Baby M (too bad it’s sold out)!

.Five Things I’m Looking Forward To.

Tonight’s Christmas tree lighting downtown. I’ve actually never been, but since the weather is pretty mild, we’re going to take Baby M for a stroll and enjoy the lights and festivities.

Next Tuesday’s 6-week appointment with my OB-Gyn (OK, I’m not looking forward to the appointment itself, but I am hoping that she gives me the all clear to start exercising and doing what I normally do.)

Thanksgiving (duh!)

Christmas tree friday!!! (It’s our tradition to go pick out our Christmas tree on Black Friday.)

My first Bikram yoga class since February when I found out I was pregnant (the studio offers free classes on Black Friday, so I’m going to give the morning one a try).

.Question for you.

What’s something you’re looking forward to?

    1. Hi Catherine, I’m coming to your blog for the first time via the link-up on Clare’s. Congratulations on your new baby! I hope you get the go ahead to get back into working out, but don’t go too hard too fast. I’m certified in Pre-and Post-Natal as a trainer, and I can tell you I’ve learned that women need to ease into things. Do your kegels too! Hope you have a great weekend:)

      • Thanks for stopping by & for the congrats!
        I will definitely take it easy with working out. Just doing an easy segment of my prenatal barre DVD this week wore me out, so I know I won’t be running or going anything hardcore!
