We have rehearsed!

We had a good time last night at the rehearsal.

The rehearsal went well, I think I know what I have to do. YAY!  The wedding is going to be so beautiful.  I can't wait!!!

After we were done practicing, the rain started.  BOO!!  So we headed home for the dinner.   It was so cold, I didn't get to wear my new dress, but that is ok.  I don't think anyone wore what they had planned.  I had to even get out a jacket.  I'm praying for warmer weather and no rain on Saturday night! 

Our dinner was fantastic.  We kept it simple with all the kids' favorites.

It's almost here!!!

This week is going to FLY by!

Goodness, I am just now getting to sit down for a minute.   It's been a busy day to say the least, but I know that my whole week is going to be that way and it is going to fly by!

Started my morning off with my shake - I really need to get to the store because I am completely out of fruit.  So, it was just a plain ol' peanut butter shakeology - I forget how wonderful that tastes!!!  Just like a Reese's Cup.

Workout this morning was TurboFire Fire 30 and ChaLEAN Extreme Burn Circuit 1.  Then I hit the ground running.  We are getting taxes ready for the accountant to finish up, then we rented a duplex, we ran errands, and then I was starving.

Lunch was a big salad with veggies and hummus and balsamic vinegarette and some portabello chili with a couple of crackers.

I love soups and chilis.  I could eat it everyday.  Maybe I will for a while... mmmmm, broccoli soup is sounding pretty good for tomorrow....

Then we were off again......   I had a phone call for Beachbody work and got my homework and then just got it done.  I really decided that if it was going to get done, I needed to do it right away.  So, it is DONE!

Then it was more errands and dinner - another shake.  This time I made the chocolate bee - it was so good.  I will definitely make it again.  Chocolate shakeology, 1 tbsp almond butter and 1 tsp honey.  Delish!

A girlfriend came over and we did a little shopping.  I got the tablecloths and napkins for the big shindig at my house on Thursday!  We are hosting the rehearsal dinner, it's going to be laid back, thank goodness, but I still want it to be very nice for Nick and Lauren.  A trip with a girlfriend just isn't the same without a stop at the bookstore.  I love bookstores.  I could be in there forever, however, I felt like I was cheating on the kindle a bit.....  I didn't buy anything.  I have gotten so MANY free books lately that I don't need anything else right now.  But I love to browse and get some good ideas.  AND I had a great decaf ginger peach tea!

We always have a great time - check out this hat I found

No, I didn't buy it.  I may regret that decision later.....  nah.....


So, now I'm sitting down for a few, watching the Real Housewives and getting this blog post done.  My goal is to post every day this week, I hope I can meet that goal!  I'll do my best!

Countdown is on....

Hard work is paying off!

Wow, it's been another busy day.  I started off waking up feeling refreshed, I LOVE that!!  Doesn't happen very often for me!!!

I had my shakeology - chocolate with peanut butter and honey

and then did my workout - Turbofire Core 20 and Stretch 40.  I love both of those.  I needed that stretch......

Then it was on the run for the rest of the day.  I had a dentist appt, hair appt and lunch with Brian and Nick.  I had the BEST salad, it was a build your own.  I ordered it with everything but no meat or cheese.  This is what I got!  Amazing!

I had to get one of my Turbofire workouts polished, it kept skipping and was annoying me, so I'm hoping that this will work!  I'll find out in the morning!!

Brian and I ran errands and I was STARVING, we got home and I had my fruit for snack and then I did my afternoon workout - Burn Circuit 2 from ChaLEAN Extreme.  I can't believe how much I was sweating by just lifting weights  - go heavy or go home!!!

It seems to be working, the scale is going down and I feel so much lighter.  YAY!  All this hard work is paying off!

Then I had my second shake for the day - Brian got to pick the flavor - big surprise - peanut butter and banana.....

I've been on the treadmill to get the last of my steps in and I have read my book, watched some football and been on a training call.

This wedding is causing me to get some things done and it is a good thing!  We are on the countdown!!!   9 DAYS!!!
