10K Training, Trip to B'ham/Football Weekend, Birthday Partay!

Happy Monday! Hope you all had great weekends! Mine was awesome - great way to kick off the new fall season!! Friday was just work, walked 4 miles during lunch, worked more and then around 4 p.m. we headed over to Birmingham for Austin’s brother’s football game! Great to see the whole fam, see Elliot win, etc. – good times!!

After the game we went back to Paul & Michelle’s, had a beer, then called it an early night. I ended up at 1,784 calories, 184 carbs, 55 fat grams and 108 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Saturday I got up early and hit the gym at Vestavia Country Club to do my run. It was SOOOO hot – not sure if something was up with the AC or what but I had a bad run. :( Had wanted to do 3 miles and was only able to squeeze out 2.5 miles. So I walked ¼ mile at 4 mph, ran 2.5 miles at 6.3 mph, then walked another ¼ mile at 4 mph – 3 mile total. Then I did biceps, triceps, shoulders, back and chest - an upper body circuit – then headed back to get ready. My sis and bro-in-law got in town around 1 and then we headed over to celebrate baby Emma’s first birthday party at an Auburn-tailgate-themed shindig! They had a wonderful turn out, great food, tons of cold beer and a beautiful, happy baby who had the time of her life! We had a great time visiting, watching football, and chillin’.

Birthday girl!

Baby Emma smashes the cake!

The ladies! (ensuring that we 'broke up' the orange and blue - love it!)

Love my T & Mar!

Besties! Me, Austin, Jimmy, Mary, Emma, Forrest, Teresa, Dev & Zach

We headed home around 5 for a recharge, then went back over at 7:30/8 for some drinkies with Jimmy/Mary/Teresa/Forrest/Dev & Zach – so much fun! We had a slumber party and it was so fun staying up late talking to the girls! I ended up at (an estimation of) 2,192 calories, 165 carbs, 71 fat grams and 117 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Sunday we got up, visited and said good byes, had breakfast with Devon/Zach and then got on the road to Atlanta. Austin stayed up a bit too late with the boys, so I drove and listened to my audio book while he and Reuben dozed off. We got home around 4, cleaned a bit, unpacked, did some laundry and watched TV – lazy family night indeed! I ended up at 1,752 calories, 189 carbs, 68 fat grams and 71 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Today I hope to get in some great workouts and have a cooking marathon!! We’ll see!

Q: What was the best thing you ate all weekend? I had a few too many buckeyes- i.e. chocolate covered peanutbutter balls. O. M. G. I swear I gained a pound on them and it may have been worth it!

Q: Did you work out this weekend?
