Monday Two-a-Days, Dance Central

Hola! I hope you all had good Mondays! Mine was okay, not nearly as nice as my Sunday in which I did nothing! Well, I worked on recipes and danced. Yes, Austin move the Kinect so I can use my xBox while he's playing on the other! I danced and during all of the 'free styles' I did jumping jacks. I worked up a SWEAT!

Yes, I'm a 14-year-old girl. Oh well! My HRM said I burned 210!

This is seriously about all I did on Sunday. LOL Today I got up early and worked out! I ran 1.25 miles at 6.3, then walked it out to 1.5 miles. Then I did abs, biceps and shoulders before heading to the locker room and taking a picture of myself post-workout. duh.

Had the gym to myself - gotta love spring break. yes, it would be cooler if I was ON spring break. This is NOT lost on me. :)

Then I got ready and decided today was the day to debut my new watch at work - love it!

Loving it! 

I worked throughout the a.m., then during lunch Stacy and I went down and walked 3 miles. Yay - 4.5 miles for the day! Then it was back up to work before heading home to make this new loaded potato recipe - fab.

Recipe coming soon! And sidebar: sweet potatoes are fast becoming my BESTIES.

Q: Ever played with the kinect/dance central? I love it! Glad I get to play it more now - considering getting the zumba game... thoughts? I'll def see how often I play what I currently have!


Q: Hats while working out: yay or nay? I'm not a huge fan, but on Monday mornings I look like shiiizzz so since i'm at the work gym I figure it's a must!

Color-Changing Pups, Two-A-Days

Happy Sunday! I hope you're having a great day! I'm relaxing at home after getting back in town from Alabama - am having a great weekend! Tracking back, Friday ended up being a pretty good day. Awesome? No - but not too shabby. I got up early with a massive headache. Ugh. But I went to the gym and met Stacy there! I walked 1/4 mile, ran 2 miles at 6.3 mph, then walked 1/2 mile - 2.75 miles in 30 minutes. Not bad! Then I showered, worked, then me and Stacy went back during lunch for a 1 1/4 mile walk (taking me to 4 miles for the day - 2 walking and 2 running) and shoulders, triceps and biceps. Great workout and nice to be done with exercise by 1 p.m.! Then I just worked more, had meetings, and headed straight home at 5 p.m. to the family! I made a new recipe, ran a load of laundry, hung out with Austin and played with the pups. And thankfully my headache escaped me - yessss.

Speaking of puppers, I've been marveling lately at how much they've changed colors. Reuben was a major color changer. I got a brown pup, and ended up with a black and gray one...

Reuben 16 weeks old - day 2 of having him in September 2007

I mean really! LOL Little posing poodle

Reuben over the holidays!

Then came Remy - a little brown & white pup:

her at 10 weeks

her at 16 weeks - much lighter and her brown turned more of a caramel color

her in April. Seriously - she is turning so white!

Regardless, I love my two little color changers! Even if I did go from two mostly-brown pups to ebony & ivory! :) (May 2011)

Q: Do you have a color-changer?

Q: What are you up to this weekend? We stayed in Friday night, went to Birmingham for a wedding Saturday and just got back in town today! I'll post pics from the wedding tomorrow - great time with great friends!

Book Review, Two-A-Days, Meal Planning

So I think I must have been the last to know about orange chicken! My first time having it was when I made it -I had to look to Austin to ensure it tasted right! haha So I don't know about you but my Wednesday was much better than Tuesday - woo! I got up early, and did 15 minutes of spinning, a 1/4 mile walk, 1 1/4 mile run, and a 1/4 mile walk. HRM said: 34 minutes, 265 calories, 4 fat-burning minutes, 30 fitness minutes, average HR 150, and max HR 180. Then I just headed to work and got tons done, before heading back to the gym during lunch for a 2 1/4 mile walk and this leg and shoulder workout:

Good stuff! Then it was just more work before heading home to do some cooking catch up! Austin got dinner going and we made the following for the remainder of the week and weekend:

4 Coconut Curry Soups

6 Brunch pizza squares

4 Sweet & Sour Chickens

4 Pepperoni Pitzas

4 Chicken Mac & Cheeses

Great teamwork - when he helps me I swear it's even easier and the kitchen is cleaned up like that! I really appreciate his help! Now I only have one more breakfast recipe to make - woo!

So before I left for Destin I finished Sophie Kinsella's Mini Shopaholic. I've read the entire series and while she drives me insane sometimes because i'm like just. tell. the truth., I do love Becky Bloomwood, the main character, and her cute relationship with her husband Luke Brandon. Now, I wasn't a fan of the movie; they made it a too silly for me and I think there's more to the book than that - it's almost endearing and quirky. When I read the book I enjoyed picturing the main characters though - I thought Isla Fisher and Hugh Dancy were awesome. Okay, anyway, back to the book. Now Becky is on a new adventure - she is the mother of a toddler, trying to raise her right, while still working and trying to get out of her parents home! (her family is living with her parents while trying to find a house). Lots of fun storylines with her job, her mother, and her baby girl. Yes, a few things were a bit too silly for me, but the main character has so much heart that even when you want to shake her and ask her to be honest, you want her to succeed! I give this one a 4/5 - it kept me interested and happy!

I'm now reading Karin Alvtegen's Missing - it's really good so far! I'll probably finish it this weekend, and then I've got to get back on our book club book - eek!

Q: Do you eat soups in the summer? It doesn't bother me at all! I do have a hard time eating like heavy/beefy chilis, but light veggie/chicken soups don't bother me!'

Q: Are you a fan of the shopaholic series?

Q: Are you yourself a shopaholic?! :) I define a shopaholic as someone who enjoys shopping, not someone who buys things they don't need and/or can't afford (both are Becky's problems - eek!). So yes, per my definition i'm definitely a shopahloic. And that reminds me that I need to take pictures of my outlet finds. Will post tomorrow!

B'ham Family Trip, Book Review

Happy Hump Day! Today I'm back at home, busy as a bee on my last day of vacation trying to get the house back to normal! Where did I leave off? Monday morning we left Gulf Shores and headed to Birmingham. We went from this...

To This....

So good to get to B'ham to celebrate E! I will say, we had a long, long drive, especially since it took us 1.5 hours to go about 3 miles. MAJOR traffic back up - we were literally stuck in Gulf Shores in our car. Such a mess! But nothing a Starbucks drink couldn't fix, and we switched off drivers, and I got to finish an audio book - awesome. :) We got in town around 6 central time, visited with the family, unpacked, had an awesome grilled dinner outside, hopped in the hot tub and got in bed where I slept SO good.

Tuesday I slept in, showered, and then headed to the gym. It was hard - I hadn't worked out since Friday! But I pushed it, and was able to walk 1 mile, run 2 miles straight, and do chest and shoulders. HRM said:1 hour, 381 calories, 15 fat-burning minutes, 45 fitness minutes; Average HR: 133/Max HR: 212. After my workout, Austin's mom, grandfather and his friend met me at the country club for a quick bite, then we all headed back home, got ready and it was time for graduation pictures and to see Elliot off! We took lots of pics, then got to the site 1.5 hours early to save a spot. We saw E graduate - it was amazing all that he and his class has accomplished. I mean really, these kids! There were over 90 (out of about 400) who had GPAs over 4.0 - and he was one of them. They work hard and I know he's going to do so well at AU! After graduation we celebrated with some awesome champagne and a few glasses of wine, and an awesome pasta dinner from Leonardo's - everything was great! Here's some pics:

Austin and his bros

Lots of support for E

Such a cute family!

Me & Austin at the service (and lots of water)

Outside at Austin's parents house - so nice to eat dinner at home in the great weather!

And have some wine!

E was very happy with the champagne toast - it was great!

As was the food!

Michelle had a perfect set up as always! Their backyard is amazing

After dinner, E's exit to go party with his friends and some cookie cake - it was time to go to bed, where I finished Emily Giffin's Something Borrowed. Yes, I'd read it before but it had been over 4 years. After seeing the movie (review here!), I just had to read it again and remind myself of the story I'd enjoyed so much. Even the second time and after the film, it didn't disappoint. Quick Review: I just love the story. I think it's interesting when you find yourself sympathizing with characters you would normally dislike (i.e. a man who cheats on his fiance and a woman who cheats with her best friend's fiance). I had also forgotten about several of the characters in the book that didn't appear in the movie - although I think they did a good job in the movie meshing together characters to still tell the story. I think I mostly just like that it felt real, it rang true and I could really empathize with the characters or see myself reacting the same way to things - fun to read. I also bought it - I believed their love for each other and that makes a good book for me. I give this one a 5/5 - it's a complete and total favorite and page turner for me.

Q: What do you prefer: fiction or nonfiction - why? I prefer fiction - I'm all about escapism! I can't wait to see what happens in a book and don't feel you get that level of suspense with nonfiction.

Q: When did you graduate high school? What do you remember most about your graduation? I finished up in May 2000 - seems like forever ago and yesterday at the same time. I remember the ride over with my friend Jenny, the heat, who attended to support me and not wanting to throw my hat. I just remember being READY and certain. I was starting college classes the following week and couldn't wait!

New Indian Recipe & Leg Day

WOW - loving all of the great responses to the Cabot Cheese Giveaway! It's open until next Saturday so you still have time enter if you haven't! Mac & Cheese and grilled cheese were my favorite recent write-ins! And you guys - this month is Grilled Cheese Month - did you know? I'm working on some yummy grilled cheese sammies in celebration! I just noticed I many exclamation points were in that opening paragraph - sorry, friends. :) Also thanks for your thoughts on music - I'm with Kacy- NO techno for me - eek!

So yesterday was a pretty classic Tuesday. Just worked then worked out during lunch walking 2 miles at 4 mph and did this leg/shoulder workout.

I think I love doing upper body while doing lower - it's like it distracts me from my pain? haha After my workout I just worked more then headed straight home to my family and to my kitchen to make a yummy, new Indian dish i've been DYING to try! It met my expectations! But I apologize in advance for the not-so-fabulous pic - I left my camera at work and had to use a low-pixilated one! :(

Indian Chicken and Spinach Curry
Recipe adapted from Food and Wine Magazine/Cooking Light
Makes 4 Servings

Nutritional Information: 410 calories, 44 carbs, 12 fat grams and 31 protein grams.

We really loved it, mostly because of the fire with the jalapenos and the heavy cream which made it taste super sinful. I also loved that it had spinach and tomatoes in it - loving those veggies! Check out the recipe on Healthified Kitchen.

Q: Are you celebrating grilled cheese month? What's your favorite kind of grilled cheese? I love a plain jane cheese, bread and butter grilled cheese, but am also excited to try a more fancy one with veggies and a homemade spread. yummmm

Q: What's your favorite way to use spinch? I seem to always throw out at least 1/2 a bag and I HATE that! Any ideas are welcome!!

Commute Rant, New Mexican Recipe, 7 Miles, Upper Body ST

Thanks for your suggestions on the posting, guys! I decided that i'd post the full recipe on Healthified Kitchen - but put the picture, serving size and review over here and just link over there - why not? haha Thanks for your feedback and for reals - EASY peasy bake. Loves. So cool that so many of you have already tried it and loved it!! Yesterday was pretty chill, just work, 4 miles during lunch with Stacy, more work and then a 1-mile walk + 2-mile run after work. Not too bad. Then I did this chest, tricep, shoulder workout again. OMG.

After ST I went ahead and showered and blowdried my hair at the gym because OMG my traffic has been HORRIBLE this week. Like no 1-hour roundtrip commute, more like 2-hour roundtrip commute. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving some James Patterson 8th Confession audio book but this is just ridiculous! :( I stayed at the gym until 7:30 p.m. and traffic was STILL bad. Sigh. Anywho, enough complaining. Here is another new recipe I whipped up this weekend:

Ranchero Macaroni Bake
Recipe adapted from a Recipes for Moms recipe
Makes 6 Servings

Nutritional Information: 401 calories, 47 carbs, 6 fat grams and 32 protein grams.

Review: Very good. The green salsa really added some extra fire that I think I would have missed if I hadn't added. The soupiness helped - I was nervous at first to stir before adding the chips, but it made a big difference and helped it cook more evenly. I liked the chip layer too - very crunchy, especially against the pasta/soupiness of the rest of the recipe. All in all, I would make this again and wouldn't change anything, great pastsa bake!

Check out the recipe here!

Needless to say, once I got home at 8:15 (after talking with my mom the whole way home!), I just had dinner, got in bed and had a piece of cake and some milk. No joke - I needed a dessert like no other! We settled in for Duplicity with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. It wasn't bad or anything but I passed out about one hour in. Oops!

Q: What's your commute like? Mine is usually 30 - 40 minutes to work and 20-30 minutes home. So an hour. Except for Friday's - it's WIDE open, like I can do round-trip in 40 minutes - woo! For the record, i'm exactly 16 miles from my office.

P.S. Only tell me if your commute is as bad or worse than mine. J/k!

Hot Chicken Salad Recipe, 5.5 Miles, Chest + Triceps + Shoulders, Remy!

Thanks fellow quinoa lovers! Sounds like there are a lot of us out there!! Love the ideas you gave me - especially Jenn with her breakfast quinoa idea - i'm SO going to try it. And thank you for your support on the Maintain don't Gain challenge I joined. I hope I can do it - I think I can!! Yesterday was pretty chill - just work, 3.5 mile-walk during lunch with Stacy, more work, and then a 1-mile run + 1-mile walk with Stacy. We also did this chest, tricep, shoulder workout. It KILLED.

After our workout I headed home and chilled with the family - great, restful evening! This was pretty much how chill it was:

Little Remy LOVES Reuben's orange toy. Not so much to play with, but to sleep on. The two are doing great and getting along better every day. Reuben got a bit jealous, but we think it was just him being insecure so we're continuing to make sure to give Reuben just as much if not more attention! Love those puppers!

Today was pretty chill too. Just work... and lots of it. We got off at 2 p.m. so I worked through lunch.I had plans to go to the gym but just wasn't feeling it so I headed home and have just been resting and hanging out with the fam, getting my chill on before tomorrow when we head to Lake Lanier to Aunt Sharon and Uncle Terry's FABULOUS lake house. Can't wait to see everyone, visit with Austin's fam and brothers and eat fabulous food. Speaking of fabulous food, I was over at The Weigh I am and she had linked to a recipe at Fabulessly Frugal. I had never been to the site before and found TONS of recipes and inspiration. In fact, I found a recipe that looked so good I ran downstairs and made it. I'm so psycho kitchen-obsessed. Here goes...

Hot Chicken Salad
Adapted from a Fabulessly Frugal recipe

Makes 4 Servings

1 pound chicken, cooked and cubed
1 tbsp lemon juice
15 grams slivered almonds (2 tbsp)
½ cup fat-free mayonnaise
½ cup celery, finely diced
½ cup fat-free cream of chicken soup
½ tsp minced onion, dried
28 grams Cabot 75% cheddar cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
1 oz. potato chips, crumbled
4 Mission tortillas, burrito size

Toast almonds on cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for 7 minutes. While toasting, mix all the ingredients except cheese and potato chips. Remove almonds and add to mixture, then set the oven to 400 degrees. Place mixture in baking dish and add cheese then chips to the top of mixture. Bake for 20 minutes Serve in wraps.

After baking - could easily spoon over noodles or rice instead! I wouldn't recommend lettuce though - I think it would make it welt. The recipe suggested croissants.

Nutritional Information: 451 calories, 48 carbs, 13 fat grams and 37 protein grams.

Review: Loved! These were insanely filling, which was awesome. The casserole could easily be put on rice or noodles, but we liked them in wraps. They were warm and gooey - the mayonnaise, cream of chicken, cheese mix really tasted like it was so bad for you, but 450 is great! Next time I may even try barbeque chips for a little kick!

K- off to watch a movie with the family. Happy Thanksgiving to you all - we all have SO much to be thankful for. I am so thankful for my family, my friends, my job, my health... the list goes on - I'm a happy lady!

Q: What are you doing for Thanksgiving? We'll be at the lake tomorrow, then Friday is Iron Bowl, then Saturday is Athens for the UGA vs. Tech game!

Q: Have you ever had hot chicken salad? I've only had cold before but hot is AMAZING. Thanks again, Fabulessly Frugal!

Book Review, 6 miles, Travel Diaries Part 2 of 2: Being Friendly in the Skies

Thanks you guys! It really was such a beautiful wedding and I was so happy to be a part of it and to spend time with some of my best friends!! As promised... Travel Diaries Part 2...
So... as you know I left my phone in my car - traumatic!! I get to the airport and barely make it on the plane. All is good. As i'm boarding a flight attendant tells me I have two personal items (a small laptop bag and a tiny coach purse). She's like put your purse in your other bag. I'm like okay I will.... trying to walk away (figure I can do it in the overhead bin). No go. She's like now. I'm like okay, I try to get off the plane to do it on the hallway-connect-to-the-airport-thingie. She's like no, do it here. I'm like here? (waving my hand in the 2'x2' area on the floor in front of first class) She's like YEAH, here. So, in a huff, I throw all my shiz down (coat, water bottle, rolling luggage), unzip my suitcase and put my purse in. And no, I can't get it zipped back up, yes, i'm sweating and of course, everyone is looking at me. I get up and she is staring at me and laughing with her co-worker. True story. I roll my eyes and go to my seat.

There I meet Rose, a nice lady, who's like what was that all about? I'm like oh, apparently a purse this size (indicated with hands) counts as a personal item and they wanted me to correct it right there on my hands and knees in front of everyone. We're chatting and that flight attendant comes back over and tells me to stop talking about it, it's federal law, etc. I'm like um, i'm talking to her, my new friend Rose, fellow passenger, NOT you, so you need to leave me alone now. She was like well you just need to let it go. I'm like again, I'm talking to her not you and she asked what happened and that was it. Did she let it go? No, she kept on going on about the law and I just stared her down until she left.

Okay, I knew she was being a bitch. I knew I was in no mood. But I saw her whispering, staring and pointing and was like shit, i'm going to get kicked off this flight. So about 10 minutes later I have to pee. I really do. In all of the stress I drank my entire camel bak. So I ask a different flight attendant if I can go, he says yes and i'm off. I'm about to close the door and there she is - DANG!

Her: "Mam, the fasten seatball sign is still lit, you're not to be about the cabin, it's federal law.

Me: "I'm sorry, I asked the guy and he said it was fine, I'm not trying to cause trouble... speaking of. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I offended you earlier. I was stressed out, I lost my phone, I was running late, but those aren't excuses for me to have behaved the way I did. I overreacted and was a bit bratty and I apologize."

Her: (her WHOLE FACE changed along with her voice) "Sweetie, I'm sorry too!"

Love it. I pee, I go back to my seat and she comes out of no where (again!).

Her: "Honey, would you like a cocktail?"

Me: "No thank you."

Her: "It's on me."

Me: "Chardonnay."

Yes, I got free wine and upgraded first-class snacks on her. I thanked her, and when we landed and I left the plane, tipsy, she told me to have a great day and thanked me again for saying I was sorry.

Lesson learned: throw a mini tantrum while boarding + honest apology = free alcohol.

Backing up to Monday - we got up, had a quick turkey/swiss muffin for breakfast and got on the road to the airport with Megan and Clint. We reminisced, chatted and laughed, then got some gummy bears and boarded the plane! I had a much less memorable return flight - just finished Karin Slaughter's Fractured. Book Review: I give this one a 4/5. It was part of the Will Trent series. The story started out with a bang - a suburban mother coming home to her daughter being murdered - murderer STILL in the home. From there, it took lots of turns and twists and surprises - I flew this one - couldn't wait to see what happened and the mystery didn't disappoint! The only reason it's a 4/5 rather than a 5/5 was because somewhere in the middle it slowed down too much for me and I was just kind of over it. But then it picked up and I loved it. I'd recommend it, but suggest you read the series in order!

After finishing my book we got in town, went straight home and I fell asleep from 4 - 8 p.m. No joke! Great nap. I took some more medicine (throat on fire; stuffy nose; cough), got ready for work and went to sleep! Pretty slow Monday for sure.

Tuesday was just catch up at work, 4-mile walk during lunch, more catch up and then a 2-mile walk after work and this chest, tricep, shoulder workout with Stacy.

After our work out I raced home and had a mini cooking marathon with Austin! We made 6 servings of veggie breakfast casserole, 4 servings of Red Thai Curry (i'm on a Thai kick), 4 servings of Chicken & Mushroom pesto and prepped a few other meals (i.e. diced chicken, cooked noodles, diced veggies, etc.) Then it was time for reading and bed - i'm now reading another Karin Slaughter book - Undone. SO good!

Q: Have you ever had a "dismal and/or degrading airport experience"?

Q: Have you ever read Karin Slaughter books?

More TV Pilots, 10K Training, Kirnfest

Hey ladies! How has your weekend been?! Mine has been great so far - loving that I still have a good bit of Sunday left!! Friday was just work, Seasons 52 during lunch with Stacy, work more and then after work I did this chest/tricep/shoulder workout, and a bit of abss.

After my workout I came home and hung out with the family, had a few beers, and watched some TV with Austin & Reuben! Great chill night - LOVED it.

Saturday I slept in a bit, cleaned a bit, then hit the gym for a 3.5-mile run - yay! I walked 1/4 mile, ran for 33.5 minutes straight at 6.3 mph, then walked another 1/4 mile.

Great workout - I think I'm ready to move to the next week in my running plan! Can't wait and am so excited at how well it's progressing!! After my workout we got ready and headed over to Mike & Mandy's for Kirn Fest! They do a beerfest each year at their home - good times, yard games, fun friends and flip cup - love it! We took a break from the festivities to watch the Auburn game - WAR DAMN EAGLE! It was a little touch & go but the Tigers pulled it off - yesssss. We're 4 and 0! Anywho, here's some pics:

someone brought Tiger beer hehe

Forgive the fact that this picture was taken a bit late night - but they had 3 of these tables with holes in them flled with buckets, then they would use the 6-packs to make labels to show drinkers which beers were in which tub - CLEVER! Cute set up.

Me, Austin & Reuben after the win!

Stacy helped us take care of Reuben all day - he loves her so much!

Me and the ladies!

After the win we stayed up WAY too late and then went to sleepy!

Today I got up around 8 a.m. and headed home from the Kirn's! So far we've had a lovely, lazy day with a bit of laundry, a bit of cooking and LOTS of TV pilots:

• The Event: C- I'll try it again but really didn't think it game me enough information.
• Shit My Dad Says: B- I want to like it. I love William Shatner. And I like all of the characters except the main guy - hate him. He's an annoying whiner so I don't know if I can watch again. Sad!
• Outsourced: A+ Loved it. Hilarious. Cute sitcom and different with it taking place in India. I think it's going to be funny - am definitely watching again.
• Hellcats: C I mean... it's bad. It's one tree hill meets bring it on. But I like bad/girly shows so i'm sure i'll watch it anyway! Great to have on while you're doing something else. Definitely doesn't require attention.
• Bluebloods: A+ LOVED so good to see Tom Selleck, loved the family dynamic of the cops + DA and thought that it really set up a lot of interesting storylines. Can't wait to see another episode!
• Other than the above, I also watched Parenthood for the first time - I liked it! I think i'm going to start watching it. And I watched Love Happens. What a sad, sweet little movie - I enjoyed it as well!

Q: What was the highlight of your weekend?

Q: Seen any of the shows above? If so - yay or nay?!

C25K Milestone, Wedding, Out with Friends

Thanks for your sweet comments about my video – I’m really enjoying making them!! I hope you all had wonderful weekends – mine was so fun!! It started out with a GREAT Friday you guys! Just worked, walked 2.5 miles during lunch + upper body ST + abs – did this circuit again.

Then after work I went over to our parent company’s gym planning to do C25K… and I did it you guys! Week 8, Workout #1 – 28 minutes straight at 6.3! I was SO pumped! I walked it out to get to 3.5 miles burning 213 calories in 35 minutes. I’m pretty THRILLED – I just can’t believe that two months ago a 5-minute run was daunting… now I feel like I can just GO! I’m on a cloud – perhaps it’s the endorphins! LOL After the workout I showered/got ready at the gym, picked up some sushi and hit up Monica/Andy’s house to visit with them and to see Katie and Kevin and baby Cullen in town from NC! They are doing so well and look awesome – SO good to see them and to see little man. And Lauren was there too – haven’t seen her in too long – great night. Austin came over to meet us too, and then me and him headed home around 11 or so.

Lauren, Katie, Mon, Me and Reuben!

Happy Friday indeed! I ended up at 1,785 calories, 176 carbs, 45 fat grams and 88 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.

Saturday was a great day! Woke up early feeling great to a beautiful day! Got ready, had a brunch pizza square, hit up BB&B for a wedding gift, stopped by Kroger to get more Claritin and headed down to Dallas, Ga., for a wedding of an old high school friend! So good to catch up with great friends in town from NY and Savannah! The wedding was sweet – great to see Tony get married! Then we headed home and Lindsey and Josh followed to stay over! We sat outside and had some drinkies, then Tyson, Jennifer, John, Jeff, his GF and two of their friends came over and it was time to go eat! We hit up Felinni’s then went to Buckhead to meet up with Mary and Scott – great night, good times at Fado and Park Bench! We stayed up way too late of course but I sure enjoyed our night and had fun chatting, dancing and catching up with everyone!


Jen, John, Lindz, Josh and Tys - we all went to high school together! :)

With Mary and Scott - love them!

Tys, Mar, Me and John at Fado!

The Lacoste boys - LOL - Tys and Scott had on the same one - this happens too frequently!

Lindz, Me and Jen

Austin and Tys!

They were apparently REALLY into that song! Too cute!


I ended up at 2,315 calories, 136 carbs, 79 fat grams and 60 protein grams. Here’s what I ate and drank.

Today I just got up, cooked breakfast for me/Austin/Tyson/Lindsey and Josh, sent them off, did laundry, made a meal plan, hit up the grocery store and now I’m reading! Great day so far! It’s another pretty one for sure.

How was your weekend?

What’s your favorite thing to do on Sundays?!
