Book Recs, 4 Miles, Home Update (guest book!)

Hola!! How was your day today?! Mine was actually a pretty good day back to work! I got up, had a soysage/egg/cheese muffin and drove in to a 3-hour meeting offsite. My boss was back from maternity leave so it was great to see her! I had a turkey/swiss/mayo Sammy around 11 a.m. during the meeting, then me and Stacy walked 4 miles during lunch – great walk! I headed back to the office around 1, had taco soup, then headed to Roswell for another offsite meeting – random how those lined up! Then I had 3 chips ahoy cookies – yum! I got home around 4, got back online, then worked until Austin got home! We hung out, had stuffed shells for dinner, watched a Castle and called it a night! I ended up at 1,765 calories, 225 carbs, 45 fat grams and 112 protein grams. Here’s what I ate. Other random to-dos accomplished:

• Paying bills
• Finding 5 books for book club – woo! (we each take turns recommending 5 for the group to vote on!) Here’s what I suggested: Dean Koontz Intensity, Charlaine Harris Dead Until Dark, Joanne Fluke Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder, Brunonia Barry’s the Lace Reader and Marisa de los Santos Love Walked In. Special thanks to Faith Fitness Fun – I got the first two from her recommended reading list!
• 1 load of laundry
• 2 thank you cards

Also – I finally got some good pics of a new project – wall art! For our wedding we had guests sign a piece of canvas that my sister had written a big M on! Then, 2 years later, my lazy butt had it put on wooden backers at a framers. Now, it hangs proudly in our guest room – I love looking at it. It’s about 3’x5’ – and I personally think it looks better in person!

What’s your favorite guest book idea? I love all kinds – pieces of fabric to later make a quilt; photo books for guests to sign; framed photos to sign; travel or coffee table books – even recipe books – for guests to sign – you name it!

What are you looking forward to tomorrow?! I’m super excited about moving on in my C25K program! Thank you all so much for your support – it definitely motivates me! Tomorrow is Week 6/Day 2:

5 minute walk

10 minute run

3 minute walk

10 minute run

2 minute walk

Then Friday is a 5 minute walk and a 25 minute run – 2.5 miles which will be my longest run in one time! (longest so far: 2 miles or 20 minutes at 6.3 mph). Woo!! K – off to watch more bad TV – happy Tuesday!
