After the circuit I changed clothes and me and Stacy went to meet her friend Jennie at Uncle Julio’s! Jennie and I are in Stacy’s wedding, so we all wanted to get together to chat with Stacy, catch up on wedding stuff, etc.! But then we all talked and talked about everything from our husbands to work and more – so much fun! But before I knew it 6:30 had changed into 10 p.m. – eek! So we all split up after our great girl dinner, and I headed home to bake my brunch pizza squares (6 servings) and pasta fagioli (4 servings) – then bed time FO SHO!
I ended up at 1,920 calories, 232 carbs, 60 fat grams and 81 protein grams. Here’s what I ate. Not too bad with the 343 calories burned, especially considering we went out to eat! (I had two chicken soft tacos and chips/salsa – had to estimate!).
Today was okay – traffic was horrendous so I was a bit late and today I was in an all-day training class. I’m all about some development, but I’m a bit behind at work so that kind of sucked! I had my brunch pizza square for breakfast, some carr’s/laughing cow for a snack and pasta fagioli for lunch. No workout during lunch – not enough time – but I had one more snack, iced oat cookies, then it was out of training and into the gym! I did C25K Week 7, Workout 2, a 5-minute walk and 25-minute run. It felt GREAT! It still freaks me out how much easier running gets the more you do it. Love it! I continued walking for another 30 minutes, getting me to 5 miles in 60 minutes burning 318 calories. Yay!
Afterwards I headed home, did some work, had slow-cooker chicken burritos for dinner, hung out with Austin and Reubs as per usual and called it a night! Haven't tallied stats yet - will post tomorrow!

I have a question for you re: C25K. Jason is on week 5 (I think) and it suddenly went from doing an 8 mile run, then a 5 minute walk and another 8 mile run (or something like that) to running 20 minutes straight. He's struggling with that. Seems like a big difference. Did you have trouble with that?
Funny how girls nights are always like that... they start at 5 or 6, and by the time anyone looks at their phone, it's late! Love it. Can't believe that you managed to go home and do some meal prep!
You are too sweet! I'm glad you liked the award! You are doing so good with your C25K - I will definitly get this on my iphone after this baby comes!
Congrats on the award! I've never seen that one before~very cool! :)
Great job on the running too! :)
Congrats on the award!
Great job on the C25K. Sounds like you had a fun girls night out! :)
Thank you so much for the award, so sweet of you!! I can't wait to post about it :)
Congrats on the great run! Seeing progress always motivates me to run more too. I have to say, I don't know too many back exercises, but I love "good mornings" as a lower back strengthener!!
Have a great hump day love!!
Congrats on the award! I'm excited to check out these other cool bloggers.
I love that you are kicking C25K butt! We'll have to get together and go for a run!
I love how you incorporate so much walking into your exercise routine. It's something I tend to overlook and don't do near enough of! Thanks for the reminder!
Love all the exercise you get in - next month I plan to kick it up a notch - I've only been doing cardio and I need to bring the strength training back in - love when you post your workouts - thanks!
Gosh I don't know how you deal with Atlanta traffic day in and day out...and people complain about Orlando!
We finally painted the entire interior of our condo (ceilings and all) which was a big goal of mine this year. Now I can really start decorating!
Thanks for the recognition. It warms my heart :)
Glad you had fun with the girls. It is always so fun to let loose with some friends and have excellent conversation. :)
Hehe, your chat with Stacy reminds me of the chat we had at starbucks that time! Before we knew it so much time had flown by! haha! ;) You're just so much fun to talk with!! :)
Way to go on all the great workouts, you are on a roll for sure! :)
I love rows too!
Thanks so much for the love! Your description of my humble little blog made me so happy- I'm grinning from ear to ear girl!
Sounds like you had fun out with the ladies :) I enjoy training too but hate when the sessions are super long. Favorite back exercise- clean & press!!! hmmmmmmm gotta think on the second one :)
Congrats on your award! You are inspiring me to run.
THANK YOU!! That was so sweet of you! I put up a post about it last night and yours is definitely one of my favorites so I really appreciate it! :) Also, my favorite arm exercises are the row and butterflies. Also, a trainer at the gym just taught me one for the back of my arm--major problem area there! I'm hoping to do it so the dress I wear to my friend's wedding agrees with my arms more. ;p
Just saw your Mexican Pizza recipe....looks fabulous!!
Are you sure you only burned 318 calories? When I run 5 miles I burn close to 600. I'm 5'10 and 145 pounds.
Hi! I'm not sure. :( I'm 5'2 and weigh about 120. Are you going by your HRM? Thanks for the help!
No, I really want to buy one. Maybe I'm not burning as many calories as I think. :)
