Amazing Giveaways, 6.5 miles, P90X Ab Ripper, What I'm doing Tonight!!

Thanks for the sweet comments on my reunion pics! We had such a fun time! And those two dresses were two of my new ones from White House Black Market - only $60 each! Yay!! I'm still recovering from the trip - blah. I hate lack of sleep! So, like I mentioned, I got home on Sunday to THREE packages. 1: My pendant lights for the kitchen (more info later!). 2: My book club book Drusilla Campbell's Wildwood from Amazon.com and 3:A GIVEAWAY!

So…. Biz hosted the PERFECT giveaway for ME! She was literally giving away 30+ cooking magazines – Cooking Light, Clean Eating – you name it! I was SO pumped and I won- woo! She mailed the magazines out and guess what? She also included other great treats (two books she thought I would like, La Cruset measuring bowls, wood planks for grilling, fine grain sea salt and MORE) – Love her! The best part was definitely her super sweet note. Thanks, Biz!! Check out the loot….

Oh the hours of fun in this stack!

I mean really - could Biz be more sweet and generous?!

Then....I kid you not.... I won a second giveaway! The fabulous Kelly O hosted a GREAT giveaway for the EVO 2010 conference social media conference in Park City, UT! Her giveaway PAID for the conference. Like done! Only issue? It's June 24 -26 and this weekend I have a friend in town from NY and i'm co-hosting Stacy's shower on Saturday. SAD! While I would have loved to go, I had to pass it up. Can't wait to hear about Kelly's fun there though, and thanks again for the great giveaway, Kelly!

So aside from winning fabulous giveaways and getting inspired to do one of my own, here's what I've been up to! Monday I felt like the living dead. Still totally sleep deprived. Boo. I worked, then during lunch instead of working out we hit up Uncle Julio’s! I had chicken fajitas, having chips, salsa, rice, 1 taco and 1 extra tortilla. I was full! I worked more then headed home, having one more taco for dinner. Random! I guess some days it’s just the way it is! I ended the night with laundry and an EARLY bed time – no blog reading – sad! I ended up at (an estimate) 1,918 calories, 193 carbs, 94 fat grams and 81 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Tuesday I was ready to get to work and get GOING – I felt behind. I got to work and apparently that wasn’t the plan – my hard drive was kaput and my computer didn’t load. Enter 2 hours with desktop support group and a new but SLOW computer. Sigh. I worked, walked 4 miles during lunch, worked more, then me and Stacy headed over for 2.5 miles and ab ripper! My mileage was 5 minutes walking at 4.0, 18 minutes running at 6.3, 1 minute running at 7.5, 1 minute running at 6.3 and 1 minute walking at 4.0 – 26 minutes for 2.5 miles – WOO! 20 minutes straight of running is the most i've done in a while - yay! P90 followed and KILLED. Great workout! Then I headed home, paid bills with Austin, watched some Harry Potter and read blogs. Great evening! I ended up at 1,613 calories, 181 carbs, 47 fat grams and 113 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Speaking of giveaways... a co-worker was given extra concert tickets for a promotion we did a few months back and could no longer make it... so he sent an email out to my department (about 95 peeps) and was like first come, first serve. I raced over there and got them - two tickets to Collective Soul at Chastain Park - yay!!

I'm so excited! I absolutely love that band and didn't even know they would be in town. So a nice surprise for sure! And guess what I LOVE about this venue??? You can bring your own food/alcohol - FABULOUS!

Q: Won any giveaways, concert tickets, eBay bids, etc., lately??

Q: Do you think the world would be a better place if you could bring your own food/alcohol everywhere??? Clearly... I do... :)

Q: What are you doing tonight?! Happy Wednesday!
