Yesterday, while LONG, was great! I got up, worked, walked 3 miles before lunch and had a working during the lunch hour (Jason’s Deli – I ordered the turkey wrap with tortilla chips/salsa… but had a cookie!) After lunch I worked more, then headed over to our parent company’s gym for 3.5 miles, P90X ab ripper and upper body ST. For the mileage, I did 3 minutes at 4.0, 21 minutes at 6.3 and 1 minute at 7.5, then I walked at 4.0 until 3.5 miles! So 22 minutes/straight – still building back up! After the workout I showered at the gym, then hit up Trader Joe’s for a few items Austin couldn’t find at lunch at the other store, then met my mom at Nordstrom. I ran in and they were having a major sale – grabbed Austin another pair of Sevens & 3 Lacostes and a pair of shorts – great prices! Then we went out to the car and my mom gave me my first birthday gift for my upcoming 28th birthday on 7/7. OMG – greatest gift ever!!
Mini back story: I think I’ve mentioned that we’re trying to do more with the outdoors (i.e. color scheme: navy, apple green and yellow; bought a green umbrella; bought navy pillows… still need to do more). Well mom bought us GREAT Pottery Barn outdoor entertaining flatware (24 pieces in yellow/white), a large navy Tag bowl (for salads) and an awesome Pottery Barn condiment set with classic ketchup, mustard, relish and mayo. LOVE IT. Now I just need to have peeps over. LOL Thanks, Mom!!!

After the movie me and mom got lost in the parking deck, got found and then headed home. I got in at 11:30 p.m. beat, but not too exhausted to make Austin try on all of the clothes. The shirts were a hit, the pants too big and the shorts too long. 3/5 – I’m down with that! Then we opened up my gift – Austin loved it too!
I ended up at 2,045 calories, 177 fat grams, 97 carbs and 54 protein grams. Here’s what I ate. Too many calories fo sho but I admittedly can’t pass up movie theater popcorn (which partly explains why I rarely go! Haha j/k).
Today I just worked, stressed out a bit, walked 4 miles during lunch and read 50 more pages of Wildwood, worked then headed straight home to do the following:
- hung out with Reuben & Austin - duh
- Pre-cooked the following: 4 fiesta chicken, 4 beef taco mixes, 6 sausage and egg casserole (new!), 6 sausage and potato bake (new!), and 4 bacon/ranch slowcooker chicken pastas.
- Reorganized my kitchen cabinets (they were a mess! did this while the above was baking!)
- Ran a load of laundry
- Gave Reuben a new toy!
- Watched Make it or Break It (so glad it's back!)
