C25K, 7 Miles, Fun Times with Friends

Thanks you guys! So glad you're with me on the trees. Ugh - they've GOT to go! Also, I'm glad you thought the pizza looked yum - I think pizza is my favorite thing to make!! (if someone else spreads out the dough! haha) Sounds like a lot of us have some 'fix-its' and 'to-dos' around the house. I'm with Sara - one thing at a time, one day at a time! It DOES get overwhelming when you see this monster list of everything to do! And inmytummy - yes - younghouselove is one of my FAVORITE blogs (I keep it on my home blog). I get so much inspiration from them!! Sunny, I LOVE the idea of a red front door and Jacy - yes, please send your before and after pics!

Backing up a bit, Friday was a bit of a blah day at first. Didn’t want to go to work. Went to work. Worked. Walked 4 miles during lunch (took 60 minutes; burned 178 calories). Worked more. Blah. I had a hard time staying motivated and definitely had to take some work home. Grrr. After work, me and Stacy went down for C25K. I did the Week 5, Day 1 work out again (3 5-minute runs) – this time I walked it out to 3 miles and burned 191 calories in 36 minutes. Definitely fun to hang out with Stacy – her wedding plans are coming along SO well which is super exciting!

Then I headed home, baked a breakfast strata for Saturday’s breakfast, showered, ate dinner and we headed over to Lincoln and Shana’s! Lincoln has been traveling so much (like weeks at a time) so it’s been so hard to get together with them – but we had SO much fun chatting, having some drinkies and catching up!! We even went to bed at a decent hour instead of our usual 4 a.m. debauchery. I was asleep by a respectable 12:45 a.m. I know! I ended up at 2,035 calories, 52 fat grams, 200 carbs and 96 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Saturday I got up around 9 and headed home. Then my mom came over and we ran some errands, did some shopping and had a blast! I got:

  • 2 new Crate & Barrel pans – I’m SO excited
  • 2 Crate & Barrel large square serving dishes (who knew i hadn't registered for bowls? all platters!)
  • A bigger TV for the kitchen at Best Buy (moved other TV to my office!)
  • My wedding guest book delivered to the framers – can’t wait to share with you guys!

GREAT day! Mom headed home around 6 or so then me and Austin got ready and headed to Buckhead to meet Andy and Monica at Fado. We got a great spot on the third floor, then they took the tables and chairs away so we headed to Park Bench – LOVE that place! It’s too loud but the live bands are always fun!






Afterwards we hit up Café Agora for some gyros and hummus. I had hummus – LOVE that place. Then we hopped in a cab and went to bed around 3. GREAT night –so good to catch up with Mon and Andy. I ended up at 2,034 calories, 194 carbs, 45 fat grams and 105 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

What did you do this weekend?

I'm not off to pick up our car, to the grocery stores, then back home to watch Twilight for 18th time - woo! Can't wait to read blogs - i'm still behind. :(

Anyone else grocery shopping today? I try to go once a week at most (sometimes once every two weeks) and I love to go on Saturday or Sunday!
