Weekend Recap: Big Bear Lake, the Beach & Healthy Bites
This past week has been extremely busy — but in the best way possible.
My parents came to visit mid-week and I’ve been having a great time catching up with them.
The fiance and I took an overnight trip this weekend to Big Bear Lake and enjoyed a ton of water sports with our friends while the parents Chow-sat.
I’ve been prepping for my Anatomy final, which I’ll take on Thursday before heading out to San Jose for the BlogHer conference — my first ever.
To top it all off, I’ve been spending ungodly amounts of time researching wedding venues — however, I already promised I wouldn’t bother you with those details!
So today (to give me time to study) instead of an informative post or a recipe, I’m sharing a roundup of fun #fitspo #MondayMotivation photos. Hopefully they’ll provide some inspiration of active ways to spend your summer.
I’ve always wanted to try SupYoga and haven’t ever gotten around to it.
Gave it a go on my own this weekend. Did you know paddle-boarding burns around 700 cals an hour?!
Enjoyed a delicious, al fresco pescatarian meal courtesy my friend Lejo.
Waterskied for the first time in years.
Indulged in the amazing views from our cabin on Big Bear Lake.
Hit the beach with the fam.
Father-daughter foot shot. I swear I don’t wear a size 13.5 like my dad.
Flexed my cranium with Cards Against Humanity
. These were the PG cards.
Finished off these scrumptious cookies.
Took a sunset stroll.
Mr. Chow anticipating a sprinkler attack.
All tuckered out.
Wishing you a wonderful week and a marvelous, motivated Monday!

Whitney English says:
Not uncool at all! I thought it was fun for all of 15 minutes…that’s when I decided to spice it up a bit with the back bend!

Thank you for sharing your experience, this kind of vacation is a real pleasure. My family and I also love to actively spend time on SUP boards, and the quality equipment from this store https://easy-surfshop.com/ brings even more pleasure.
