My workout...
Potholder - hehe only $1 since it's a bit off season
New Towels - love! I got two sets of 6!
And my favorite - an apron, my first one! Only $6!!
We also got fro-yo – fabulous! Shana had lots of luck with new work clothes – she starts a new job Monday, I’m so happy for her! I got home around 5:30, had dinner, showered and headed over to Scott and Mary’s! We hadn’t seen them in too long so it was great to catch up, have some drinks and chill. We went to Neighbor’s with them, Jay, Mark and Ruje and had a few more drinks and apps, then it was back home where we stayed up way too late chatting!
What a fun day! I ended up at 2,222 calories, 249 carbs, 34 fat grams and 85 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
Saturday Reuben woke us up at Scott and Mary’s ready to go HOME! So we got up, changed, brushed our teeth and headed out! We hit up Trader Joe’s on the way home. Love it. Then picked up Austin’s car and dropped it at the oil change place. I then made a meal plan and watched Gran Torino with Austin – SO good. I was so impressed with Clint Eastwood and the story and how I was constantly on the edge of my seat to see how it was all going to play out. Great movie, very reminiscent of Finding Forrester for us. We love that mentor/mentee relationship!
After that we watched Notorious… apparently we were feeling the gangsta/thug life films. It was okay – I’d honestly almost forgotten about all of that west coast/east coast stuff – such a huge deal. Crazy. I also didn’t realize he died at 24 OR that he was married to Faith Hill. Interesting. We then went to Kroger to finish up the grocery shopping, then back home to watch Jaws. Love it. I've always been obsessed with sharks!! What I loved more was going to Wikipedia to see the trivia – lots of great stuff!
I fell asleep watching the last part of Jaws – lovely! I must say, it was SO nice to stay home and chill with Austin and not go out. The weather was awful (very cold + very rainy = ew) which gave us a nice reason to stay in. We also made guacamole and I preceded to eat it for dinner – way too much of it (I forget how it adds up). It was awesome!! I need to post the recipe we used. I closed out Saturday at 1,828 calories, 206 carbs, 84 fat grams and 77 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
Today I slept in, finished up some Christmas presents, bummed around and then headed to the gym and walked 2 miles, ran 1 mile, walked 1 mile, hopped off and did chest/triceps and shoulders, then hopped back on to run 1 mile and walk 1 mile – great workout! It took me 1 hour and 42 minutes, and I burned 428 calories!
Then it was time to make meals: 4 servings of English muffin breakfast pizzas, 4 servings of a new sausage spaghetti, 4 servings of a new tortilla casserole, and 4 servings of lemon pepper chicken with artichokes and mushrooms. I also did laundry, dishes, and more – GREAT productive day. I ended up at 1,584 calories, 204 carbs, 57 fat grams and 75 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
Do you like guacamole? What ingredients do you use?
