5 Miles + Legs, P90X Experience, Couples Retreat, S. O. R. E.

K - you've officially inspired me to spring clean my closet (i.e. get rid of some dresses.... eek!)! Mom, let's set a date! And prettyface - love your ideas for getting rid of stuff! And Lauradishes- omg - I was like that HAS to be her... maybe? No... I'll shoot her a note but SURELY it wasn't. Such a small world girl! :)

Backing up a bit, Friday was a great day! I got up, worked, walked 3 miles during lunch and did upper body ST, worked more, then after work we walked 5 minutes, ran 10 minutes (6.3 mph), ran 1 minute (7.5 mph) and then walked to get to 2 miles. Then me and Stacy did legs:

3 sets of Adductor Machine (inner thigh) – 50 pounds
3 sets of Abductor Machine (outer thigh) – 50 pounds
3 sets of 24 lunges
3 sets of 20 calf raises
3 sets of ball roll in
A little bit of pilates (lying side kicks, bicycle, wide/small circles and hot potato)

GREAT workout! Afterwards I showered at the gym then Austin and Reuben came to get me and we were off to Auburn! On the way we stopped at Trader Joe’s to pick up some stuff for Teresa/Forrest, and I got a salad that was SO good (Walnuts, cranberries, raspberry dressing, grilled chicken, etc.). Loved it! We got to Auburn around 8:30, visited with Teresa/Forrest and their pups and had a great time catching up! We went in a little early to rest up for Jimmy/Mary’s early morning arrival and a full pool day! I ended up at 1,759 calories, 172 carbs, 53 fat grams and 92 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Saturday me and Teresa got up and did P90X Ab Ripper X. WOW. It was such an intense workout – I can’t wait to do it again!! I think I’m going to try to do it like 3 days/week now – I was sore like immediately!! Anywho, after ab ripper she showed me P90X’s Plyos CD – WHOA. Then Austin got up, Mary/Jimmy got in town with baby Emma and we all headed to the pool across the street for a fun day of sun bathing, catching up, drinking and chilling. Awesome!

Gotta love twinkie Auburn coolers!

Must feed Miss Emma before the pool - she looks so much like her dad, Jimmy!

Ah yes, back at the pool with a sweet tea vodka!

Ready for fun!

Could little Emma's pool float be cuter? T had fun with her the water, and introduced 9-month-old Emma Catherine to her neighbor's daughter - 4-year-old Emma Catherine!

Mary, T and Me are silly...

And always have a blast together!

These two are hilarious together - although we missed Forrest (he had to work that afternoon - boo!)

Austin had fun hangin' with baby Emma!

She was pooped - how cute!

We were in and out of the pool all day and before we knew it it was time for dinner! We went back, Jennifer/Trey came over with their daughter Anne Morgan, Forrest got home from work, and then we had a yummy grilled dinner, great convoss and a fun game of ‘Things.’ Great night, that of course went a little too late –oopsie! I ended up at 2,133 calories, 190 fat grams, 49 carbs and 86 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Today we got up and visited with the group, had brunch pizza squares and orange rolls, watched this extreme biking show and then went to an old favorite restaurant in Auburn, Niffers. Ah, how I had missed the Nif. I got my usual chicken plate – grilled chicken, baked potato, side salad with FF ranch and a piece of garlic toast. Yum. SO filling. Then we said our goodbyes and headed back to Atlanta. Sad! Always hate ending a great weekend with great friends! I must say – I am SO sore. Like my core is on fire, as are my inner thighs – eek. Definitely going to take it easy tonight!
