Thursday Nutshell: No gym. No nothing – just TV catch up time with my buddy Reuben, naturally. I DID move about 40 or so summer only dresses to a different closet - it's officially over and they were in my way! I ended up at 1,671 calories, 232 carbs, 44 fat grams and 81 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
Friday Nutshell: walked 3 miles during lunch (4 mph), then headed to Viking Olympics (AKA make an idiot out of yourself playing odd games in the hot, hot sun). Left there at 4 p.m. for NOT the bar! I passed the bar outing to go back to the gym for legs and abs. Wanted to walk another mile, but had to shower as I was SO nasty from the Olympics. Showered, grabbed sushi, drove to Birmingham, went to a high school football game, had some wine, read some of a new book (Catching Fire – second installment of Suzanne Collins trilogy– LOVE it) and passed out. I ended up at 1,815 calories, 263 carbs, 26 fat grams and 107 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
Saturday…. Little more than a nutshell: got up thinking it was 9 a.m. – this gave me 8 hours of sleep. I got on my gym clothes ready to hit the treadmill. I went upstairs and realized it was 7 a.m. The clock was wrong. GRRRR. At this point I’m like whatever – I’m going. Me and Austin’s dad head over – I walk 2.5 miles (4 mph), run 1.5 miles (6.3 – 7.3 mph), then walk another .5 miles (4 mph). Great workout! HRM said I burned 322 calories! Got home, showered, ate lunch, watched some football then regrouped with Austin’s mom. She is so proud of Austin and his weight loss and wanted to do something nice for him. I’m thinking a small gift, maybe a new watch or something? Nope – a new wardrobe! Me and her headed out and hit up Macy’s, an outdoor store and Gus Meyer. Exactly 1.5 hours later we had the following in the car:
2 Lacoste collared shirts
2 Burberry collared shirts
4 Vineyard Vines collared shirt (one that has an Auburn emblem with the whale on the sleeve instead!)
1 long sleeved pullover
1 Northface ski jacket with fleece insert
1 new black belt
4 Ralph Lauren/Nautica wool slacks
2 Club Room white dress shirts
1 Polo white dress shirt
2 pairs of Joe’s Jeans
A pair of Maui Jim’s sunglasses
A packet of collar stays
This woman! I mean – it was crazy! We got home and he tried it all on and EVERYTHING but one pair of work pants fit to a tee. This makes me hate men. I mean really?! If someone went out shopping for me in 90 minutes and came back I would be doing good if 3 out of 10 things fit! haha I’m SUPER happy for him – and motivated to get him a few things myself (casual wear – he’s either in jeans and a collared shirt or high school football sweat pants!). Do you buy your boyfriend/husband/significant other clothes? Does he go shopping with you?? Austin NEVER goes – I swear he would have kept wearing his 36’s if no one had stepped in!
Pics of all of the stuff he got - lucky boy!!
After the shopping extravaganza we had wine, good conversation, hung out by the outdoor fireplace and watched football, then got a ride from his 17-year-old brother to our friend Kelly and Ryan’s house (they’re Auburn/FL peeps – getting married in December!). We had so much fun hanging out with them, seeing all of the awesome work they had done on the house, playing Frisbee with their pup pup and having drinkies – great times!! I ended up at 2,193 calories, 228 carbs, 34 fat grams and 84 protein grams. Here’s what I ate and drank.
Sunday Nutshell: I woke up on 5 hours of sleep feeling like poo. We got a ride back to the house, showered, and worked on wedding pictures with Austin’s mom. Then we were off to ATL to reunite with Reuben, unpack and CHIIILLLL (read/blog/watch TV!!). Then I watched Wanted… it was dang good! (in a CRAZY way!) Have you seen it? I was pretty into it, but then I had nightmares. I hate that!! I ended up at 1,737 calories, 207 carbs, 70 fat grams and 86 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
Overall: I’m honestly kind of disappointed in myself. I ate off meal plan, I had too much to drink, I didn’t get enough sleep, etc. I’m glad I worked out Saturday, and it was great (1.5 miles is the longest I’ve ever run straight!), but the eats are a problem. I couldn’t weigh this weekend but today I was 121! Definitely ready to get to the gym today and eat right. I'm just over this self sabotaging I do almost every weekend! And with this coming weekend in Auburn i'm like uh-oh! Today is NASTY too – pouring rain, dark, etc. BLAH!!! Sorry for the long post! Back to regular (shorter!) updates tomorrow! I hope you all had great weekends. I’ll post the new meal plan tomorrow along with a home chest/triceps/shoulder workout I plan to do tonight!
