This weekend was amazing! I ran my first 5k of 2017 (and beat my fastest time by 30 seconds), and we had zero responsibilities the rest of the weekend. It was wonderful, but now we’re back to having something going on every weekend for about the next month. Great while it lasted, right?
I decided to try Aldi’s version of protein powder because it was a bit cheaper than the other brand I’d been using. I haven’t had it yet, but I heard it’s not too bad so I’ll let you know how it is! I’m also working hard on getting that $10.00 Ibotta bonus that expires at the end of the month. I need to get 3 more rebates by Friday night, which should be doable! Other than that, it was a pretty normal shopping week. Here’s what I bought:
