I'm loving this idea! I live by rules and you know what, sometimes you just have to chuck them out the window! The weekend is a rather perfect time to do this... thank you for the reminder :)
And wonderful workout too! Outdoor ones like this are great, you can obviously do them anywhere
Good for you my friend. We all need to really take the time to enjoy our weekends (all days really) more. Do a little for ourselves for a changes. It's not selfish at all, it's smart.
You two are so cute! No rules.. hmm now how do I do that??
I totally agree Tessa! Sometimes the perfectionist side of me says to be always be productive, but that's not always what we need, ya know?

Wish I could do NO Rules on the weekend. But at last, I had a full schedule today. Drove to Toledo, took a two hour test, packed some things into car, drove back home, laundry, dinner, abs workout(trying to tone stomach, any pointers on how to do that?) and now watching t.v. while playing on blogs and facebook.
I think it requires no kids, hehe! Jk.

love your workout!! i totally headed to school after my run to get some "work" in. I got a bit finished and then was just feeling tired. At first I tried to talk myself out of leaving but then I realized...I have a good book at home I want to be reading and it is summer so it is TOTALLY OKAY to take some time for myself after I already had a long week of work! :) Love your hiking pics!
And you TOTALLY deserve that R&R, especially after that long run! Whoa. Way to go Jules!

yayyy i like this. now follow the rules missy!
Good call! Have a fantastic weekend. :-) Oh, and I love your workout. Right up my alley.
Oh I love this! I hope you're having an incredible weekend! We are definitely trying to get to the point where we don't work so much. It's hard when you own your own business, but we are getting there.
Sounds like a perfect weekend to me! My weekend has been a no rules one too- sleeping in, watching mindless tv, snuggling up with my other half, talking, reading, playing, tickling, laughing- eating yummy food, reading blogs, enjoying leisurely walks around the neighbourhood, cooking... making the most of my last day of freedom before I return to uni tomorrow! I hope you can hold on to the essence of your no rules weekend in day to day life, even if you just set aside 10 minutes to do nothing it can make a difference! All the best xxx
I love those rules :) Sometimes they need to be made to pull ourselves away from the usual crazyness!
Enjoy your weekend!
Hahahah, with the Vegemite again!
I need this to be my new mantra. Now, how to do that...?
oh that does sound perfect claire! and yes, I am going to practice this during
week....hopefully.
:) Good idea!

The best part of weekends is that there ARE no rules! We get to hang out, be lazy, sleep in, take our time, workout if we feel like it, and just enjoy the extra time together!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend!!! It's fun when you have no rules and you can just hang out with no worries and do whatever moves you.
oh ya. You Madeline are the queen of living for weekends. I adore that! and will
follow in your footsteps. Cheers!
Lindsay

Thanks for another workout I am stealing for my highschool crew team I train outdoors at a local park =)
I hope you are taking your own advice and enjoying yourself with no rules today! It's my day off and we had a wedding last night, so we slept in and I just want to spend the day with my sweet Billy. No rules. Good food and relaxation. :)

I always have one day off from training and one full on cheat meal! The cheat meal usually includes more than a few cocktails and some delicious food. I love weekends and I enjoy myself. Today I slept in until almost 11:00 AM, which is so unheard of and it felt awesome. Apparently I was tired. HA! Have a wonderful Sunday! xoxo
Good for you!!!! I hope you are following through :) Great workout!
Great rules, now you better not break them. :) Have a great weekend!! Too bad your not in Utah we have an extra day for a state holiday. :) See how awesome Utah is. he he
YES!! I LOVE the your no rules rules for the weekend and I'm so glad you two have some time off to spend with one another :D
We've had a similarly wonderful weekend without too much structure but totally enjoying the outdoors. Walk with our pup around Newburyport yesterday. Today farmers market shopping plus bike riding along my favorite running routes from this past week :D it's so nice that my hubs is finally able to relax on weekends because he's out of grad school!
LOVE the workout, I am all for outdoor no equipment sweat sessions :)
Best rule ever! It is sso calming and good for the body just to turn everything off and focus on your life and the beautiful people in it. Its a fabulous way to spend the weekend. =)
I think life is stressful enough, so we have to take some time out for ourselves. Once we are well rested and relaxed then we can get back to business fully rejuvenated and ready for action. So I hope you had once super restful, relaxing weekend with the hubs!
I was supposed to be working all weekend... until I got sick. So I hear ya!!! And all this talk about vegemite... never had it before. I always see it at Cost Plus however :)
oh that sounds perfect. Teach me how to sleep in that late please!
Lindsay

so well deserved jenny. and I can't wait to see all your wonderful pictures.
Its nice to have a husband on the weekends now, right?! I totally get that!
Lindsay
________________________________
oh no I am sorry monique. Hope you feel better. But at least you didn't have to
work. haha.
Try vegemite, in small amounts. Its strong, but I like it on plain toast or
cooking. Let me know if you do!
Lindsay
________________________________
yes, and the hardest thing for me to turn off is my silly brain! So spending
time with others helps or just vegging out with a movie.
:)
Lindsay

It's great!!! :)
sounds perfect to me lindsay! i had a pretty low key weekend as well just doing what felt right. got in a long 50 mile ride yesterday but did nothing but work in the yard for a bit today. i am glad you were good to yourself :)
i am totally with you deary!
I had such a long week teaching summer camp that I was ready for a Saturday of just working out early in the morning and laying around all day...it felt wonderful! Although we had an engagement celebration dinner and a birthday party for one of our friends so it turned into a very long night.
I love that you consciously have a no-rules rule. Might take it up, would be a good way to kick-start another progression
Hmm..........
oh that makes me happy Kalli. I am so glad you enjoyed the weekend and a great
ride!
;)
Lindsay

Amen. :D
I, conversely, have to remind myself to at least do something slightly proactive during the weekends. I am a master relaxer. I love nothing more than having nothing to do....ahhhhh. Love the greenery in your pics
No rules sounds perfect to me...thats how I lived this wknd : ) I love all of your pictures from the afternoon out! I will definitely be doing this wrkout! I did the other one you posted a few weeks ago again, its so tough! Enjoy your evening Linds!
Love!

Lindsay

Lindsay

i love the idea of weekend no-rule rules! my weekends have been jam packed lately due to moving, etc. but i plan on sitting on my butt and doing nothing soon! mainly, i prep a lot on the weekends so that i don't have to do much during the week. that def helps make the weeks a breeze!
then maybe I need to come hang with you so you can show me your style. nothin
sounds golden!
Lindsay
________________________________
me too. I try get ahead on the weekends but I found myself just never resting.
My own fault. Sheesh, you think I'd learn after almost 30 yrs of life. haha.
mmmm, protein muffin calling my name.

Beautiful!!! I love love love your weekend rules! It just makes me so happy when people are taking good care of themselves, not stressing too much and taking time to relax and enjoy life! Yay for you Lindsay! Love you <3
Great rules! I'm back on my computer for the first time since Wednesday and it was nice to see your smiling face on this post. I hope you got some calm in your head and heart, if even for a few hours of the weekend. Wishing you a productive and less stressful week!
ps - I am still so excited that I got to meet you in person!
Did that "vegemite/butter" mean "it might be a vegemite sandwich OR a butter sandwich"? If so, I like how you roll. If not, I like it this way so let's go with it. ;)
Rules are meant to be broken. And no rules = skipping a step. Well done, you! Hope the pool was FAB!
i like how you roll, and I'm with you. skipping steps are SO NECESSARY! How was
your weekend S?

I love it, and I'm glad it was relaxing! We had a whole week of no rules, and just relaxing. I love summer vacation!:)
Your weekend looked great, Lindsay! So glad to hear/see that you guys enjoyed yourselves together and to read in your Monday post that you feel rested - WAHOO!...We spent some time together this weekend too and are feeling rested now...we had a great 55 km backpack over several mountain passes in the Rockies and now are content with having pushed hard and had fun. Isn't that so great to finish a weekend like that? Keep living well with your hubs, friend! :D
wow, what an amazing hike! and I hope you took tons of pictures to remember
those moments. thank you Bonnie, for always being an encouragement. ALWAYS
ALWAYS!!
