Yesterday ended up being the hubsy’s birthday celebration, and it turned out amazing!! The day started off with me sleeping in, him making me breakfast and coffee, and keeping the kids so I could go on a 6.2 mile run (that I thought was 7 miles… aghhh!). Sounds celebratory, huh? He was apologizing for being in a mood yesterday. So, I invited a few of his friends over for dinner and I wanted to make something special. Jambalaya! Had I ever made it before? Nope! But I looked at a few recipies and made up my own. Let me just tell you! YUM! And completely healthy. I used turkey sausage, chicken breast and shrimp for the meat, brown rice, and LOTS of fresh veggies. Then of course there was the apple crumble with vanilla bean ice cream and the red wine, but whatev. Dinner was healthy :)

So my BFF will be here in 3 weeks and I am so stoked… except… I fixed her up with a friend of ours. I know, California and Texas are far apart, but I just knew they’d hit it off. So she wanted him to email her so she would be more comfortable. And he did. Then they progressed to phone. And now? Now they are like 5 minutes from saying vows! So I have this feeling that my girls weekend isn’t going to be what I intended, but I am okay with that. She totally deserves happiness, and I hope this works out. If I have to sacrifice one week of girl fun for her, I can do that. Plus, I’m going to Houston in June, and that isn’t too long. Does it sound like I am convincing myself? Yeah, I know.

Food wise? Kicking ass, taking names.

Run? Today is a rest day, but I am going to take lil man on a walk to the park and also try out my new power yoga video. Allegedly it is for runners. We’ll see. Yesterday was a 7 mile run. I mapped it out and somehow screwed up cause it turned out to be only 6.2 miles. And I thought I was just getting really fast. Boo! My run was great though… I felt strong and amazing the whole time. Nothing was hurting at all. I did some pull ups (sort of) last night. The hubsy and I are working on a program so that he can increase his, and I would LOVE to be able to do 5. I think that would be so hot! So, we’re going to make a plan and start this week. Yay! If I can ever do five I’ll totally put it on youtube and brag. :)

Happy Monday, chickies!
