Fab Friday: New Outfit, Q and A, 4 Miles

Hola amigas! Happy Saturday of a holiday weekend. Heart! Yesterday I drove into work feeling MUCH better (thanks for the feel better wishes!). I had a great, productive morning, walked 4 miles during lunch, then I got an amazing email: Happy Labor Day – you can begin celebrating at 2 p.m. SWEET – it was already 1:15 p.m. and I hadn’t eaten lunch yet! So I had lunch, had a diet pepsi, wrapped up what I was working on and was OFF! I hit up the bank, liquor store and mall – I wanted a new outfit! Why? I don’t know –nothing expensive just something fun. I’ve been wanting a high-waisted skirt so I was a girl on a mission. I went to the usual suspects: Macy’s Forever 21, Black House White Market, Gap and H&M. These skirts apparently don’t exist. Sad. Just as I was about to give up I saw this gem tucked into the racks between shirts and dresses (of which there were plenty). I got the little white shirt and a couple of fun bracelets – woo!


From the side with bracelet!



hehe it's so tacky it's cute, right?!



And another fun bracelet - love!!

I got home to a squeaky clean house and a container of enchiladas I made the night before. Sweet!

We had dinner, rested up and then had a couple of friends over for pool/chill night. I had a few drinks but think I did pretty good! I ended up at 2,021 calories, 185 carbs, 26 fat grams and 101 protein grams – not awful at all! Here’s what I ate.

Today I’ve just been lounging around in bed. Love it! It’s after 2 p.m. and I’m still in PJ’s! I got up and had a Morningstar sausage/egg/cheese sandwich on a half a piece of toast.Yums. Then I watched some crap TV and had a little bit of pasta salad. Nom. Nom. Nom. Now I’m trying to decide what to do today! I have the whole day and weekend ahead of me – yessss. Today all I know I want to do is go got he gym and go over to Linc/Shana’s for some SEC football! For those who don’t know – me and Austin are Auburn fans/alumni/etc. – it’s where we met and where we go back home to at least 3-4 times each fall. We love it, love the city and are ready to kick off the season…. Even if it is with Alabama fans! Haha I hope you’re all having wonderful weekends!

One more thing – I got a couple of really good questions on my last post, so I thought I’d answer them here! And if you have any other questions ask and I shall answer!! Here are two questions from Kimberly: Where are you getting the workout calendar for post? Second question is a bit of time management... do you cook a bunch of meals up front and freeze them? Ration ingredients?

Answer: For the calendars, I make them! I actually use word tables and just copy/paste in exercises that I find online, in books, in magazines, on your wonderful blogs, etc. Then I use the program ‘snag it’ to capture a jpg image to post on here! I hope this helps – I’m happy to email anyone the template I use if you want it! For cooking, I’ve actually never frozen anything. On Sunday I cook most of the meals to get me to Dinner on Wednesday. Then Thursday I work from home so I use that lunch to cook lunch for Thursday, then food to get me until Saturday evening. Sometimes I don’t cook the whole meal – I just prep all of the veggies, mix the sauce, chop the chicken, etc. Or I’ll, for instance, put together the enchiladas but instead of cooking I just pop them in the fridge. If you guys want more specifics around this let me know and I’ll show you a sample week of what we do!

K –I’m off to read bloggies– bye friends!
