friday links: where I'll be on Aug. 25, 1 tee = 5 looks, faith in fitness

We had the chance to go to Panera for a long lunch date yesterday. It was lovely- we just sat on the patio and leisurely chatted over our Acai Berry iced teas {yum!}.

Our total came to $23 for two of us, but it was worth it- the food was really, really good! We ordered enough food to fill us both of us up {which is very difficult to do when we eat out these days!}. I had the greek salad and a bowl of vegetarian black bean soup, and it came paired with a little apple:

It was really yummy. I even ate half of my piece of bread! :D And the coolest part? I didn't really want more than that. I was okay eating just a little, which is such a huge change from when I could eat bread all day long a few months ago. Progress! :)

This week has been anything but what I planned- partially because I had two nights in a row where I couldn't sleep at all, and my brain was in a serious fog, and I'm still recovering. 

We've really been running around all this week, but it's okay! :D The to-do list will just have to wait a little longer. And the date was definitely better than painting any day!

Rob got contacts this week! :D i love them!

I wanted to share some fun news and links with you for your weekend browsing pleasure:
