You guys ROCK! Have I said that before?! :) Thanks again for your sweet comments!! I really did have a great birthday yesterday! I got up, rolled into a work and got some work done! My sweet co-workers came by with $100 to Pottery Barn. It’s like they know me – loved it! Then I headed down for 4 miles during lunch. (the usual 4 mph incline between 2 and 0) then I worked more and my team came by at 3:30 with cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, cookies and mini canolis. It’s like they hate me. LOL
Part of the b-day grub!
I had a cupcake and too many strawberries, then they told me to leave early and I listened. I headed back to the gym and am officially building back up – I did a 25-minute run! I haven’t done one of those since April! Here’s what I did:

Walked 3 minutes at 4.0
Ran 25 minutes at 6.3
This 28 minutes was 2.82 miles… then I walked for 2 more minutes to get 3 miles.
Great workout! Afterwards I did upper body ST, then showered and got ready to go meet Austin, Devon, Zach, Monica, Andy and Stacy at Uncle Julio’s! They are SO sweet! We’re doing my birthday on Friday, but since they can’t make it they came on the day of. Love them! :)
ze group!
They also brought fabulous gifts – Monica/Andy got me these awesome apple green candles for my new outdoor scheme, and Devon this SWEET Martha Stewart drink dispenser! It’s perfect – can’t wait to use it! (she also threw in some yummy peach tea – fabulous!)

Pic taken later at my casa!
I had some chips/salsa, and made two tacos out of the fajuitas with rice, guacamole, chicken and onions – little bit of cheese. SO good. I also had two glasses of wine. Yum yummy! I had a great time with the group and really appreciated them all coming out on a weeknight to celebrate! Everyone travels so much in the summer so it was a blast to catch up! Afterwards I got home and Austin & Reuben’s gift was all set up waiting for me – NEW POTS & PANS! Yay! I’m so very excited.

See- me and Reuben were so excited!
I’ve been complaining about what I have and (you know) how much I cook now! But i’m still using hand-me-downs from college which, don’t get me wrong, have gotten the job done BUT they are really starting to fall apart. Literally. So it was just such a perfect gift with sweet cards and all. I love my family. Then me and Austin had one more glass of wine and attempted to get a picture of the two of us....
And finally a winner? Or the best of the group anyway. LOL
After that debacle we called it a night. Wondermous birthday! I ended up at an estimate of 1,925 calories, 192 carbs, 73 fat grams and 80 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
