I hope your weekend is getting off to a good start.
On Saturday, mine is likely going to include some baking
I love to bake and create…
…But hate doing the dishes and kitchen cleanup.
Then again, who says, ‘Oh, I just love doing dirty dishes.’
I’ll be unrolling my yoga mat at home and working on some of my yoga goals
Maybe I’ll make some pancakes (vegan, GF) on a cool, fall weekend morning. I’d say lazy weekend morning but there’s nothing lazy about life here. Weekends are no exception.
What will likely end up happening is that a Microwave Banana Oatmeal Cake will stand in for the pancakes.
Gotta love the microwave, right?
And I also love these new pants. Well, they’re about 3 weeks old or so now and I can say they are my new favorite piece of fall workout wear and favorite workout pants I’ve owned in ages.
They fit like a glove without being too snug.
There’s a difference between fitted and secure and feeling like a stuffed sausage.
These pants are the perfect balance.
They’re also on the thin side and they are knee-length so they’re perfect for SoCal fall weather. I try to hang with shorts as long as I possibly can because I’d rather be chilly than have that overly constricted feeling on my legs but these pants don’t do that to me at all. Bonus!
Another bonus will be spending time with my family over the weekend.
Hopefully we can get to the park and enjoy the weather and watch the waterfalls and just chill out together.
Til then..
I’m going to enjoy one of these
Questions:
1. What’s on your weekend agenda? How’s your weekend so far? Do you have Monday off in light of Columbus Day?
2. Do you have any favorite cooler weather workout attire? Pants, shirts, light jackets or vests?
There’s nothing worse for me than wearing pants that are too thick or heavy for the weather and then sweating profusely which takes a run from fun to miserable. Overheating just slows you down.
I also hate to be underdressed and chilly, which can make it tricky to dress for fall/early winter outdoor workouts. The temperature you are when leaving the house is not at the temperature you are 20 minutes later, compound that with direct sunlight or wind variables, and it’s no wonder I stick to the same 10 year old running shirts and old Nike vest I’ve had for a decade.
Most times when I buy new shirts or new workout pants (with the exception of the ones I mentioned in this post), they are never an improvement on what I own so I just stick with my tried and true clothes. But sooner or later, everything needs replacing.
What’s in your fall workout-wear arsenal?

Enjoy your (long) weekend and Happy Thanksgiving to Canadian readers!
I had today (Monday) off, but it was for Thanksgiving.
Those pants are super cute! Confession: I live in running pants and yoga pants. Real pants are overrated. ;)
100% agreed. I live in my Be Present yoga pants or other workout pants or shorts if it’s summertime. Comfort trumps all!
I L.O.V.E your microwave banana oatmeal cakes. I make them at least 2 times a week!
Also, kudos on your recent ceation: Pumpkin peanut butter oatmeal bars. I made them on Monday and now, on Saturday, the whole pan is just about all gone!
thanks for LMK you are enjoying the recipes…the microwave banana oatmeal cakes are super convenient and the pumpkin bars…you can freeze them, too :) I make 2 pans at a time and slice/freeze one pan. Just in case you ever are in a big batch-making mood.
I LOVE those nike pro leggings! I have the shorts (very short!) version and I do love them, sooo comfy!! However they are just a little too tiny for me! Need to invest in the longer version!
I tried on the shorts version in the store and yes…VERY short. haha!
oh i LOVE that skylar is getting all ready for halloween! she’s so cute looking for her costume. i think you should make a tremendous amount of your caramel apple bars and give them out to the little kiddies who come knocking. i have off on monday which i could totally use because i’m super tired right now and need a few more nights of vegetation haha
Sounds like your weekend is going to turn out nice! Ours is a lazy Saturday with a family outing to Sea World this evening. :-) A good run & a coffee date with my hubby tomorow. So, a great weekend around here! Have a great one too!:-D
It’s a busy weekend over here and I am very tired….lots of baking and photos before I head to the mountains to photograph snow & leaves this Monday :)
well I wish I was jet setting off to the mountains..I know that is your happy place AND that you’re doing photography…you deserve it. HAVE FUN!! :)
I bought those pants in the shorts version for hot yoga. Love em!
Plans for the weekend include cleaning and playing with my new kitten :)
have fun w/ the new kitty and I tried on the shorts version of the pants but have other tiny shorts for hot yoga and didnt want to spend$ more but I wanted to…badly!
