2 days before the wedding

Gotta make this super quick!  We have friends and family coming over in 20 minutes!  Eek!

I woke up at 7 am this morning (sleeping in ;)) and had the last piece of Dakota bread with sunflower seed butter and raspberry jam.  I look for the PB for 10 minutes.  Where is that stuff?

Coffee was a necessity.

I waited to long to run because I wanted to see Caitlin on the Today Show promoting the Operation Beautiful book, and didn’t end up running until after 9 am.  It was sooo hot and humid.  I ran about 4 1/2-5 miles and walked about 3.  It was totally worth it though.  I just wanted to sweat…and sweat I did.

Returning home I had…

…the classic Chocolate and Strawberry SIAB.

Why does this taste so darn good after being out in the hot sun for 1 1/2 hours?

I ran wedding errands all afternoon.  I multi-tasked by wearing my new trail running shoes.  These are going to do double duty for me in Italy as running shoes and trail shoes on our two-day hike of Cinque Terre.

I was in such a hurry this afternoon snack went unphotographed.  I had a small sample of the new low carb high protein bread at Great Harvest, a tiny sliver of pear bread, and two mini Chocolate Coconut Date Truffles.  I’m surprised I haven’t been hungrier today.

I basically made myself eat dinner because we’re doing our pre-nuptial pub crawl tonight and I didn’t want to go into that on an empty stomach.

I made my version of Maggiano’s house salad: romaine, tomatoes, turkey bacon, feta (instead of blue cheese), red onion, and a dressing made of blue cheese Laughing Cow, fat free mayo, Greek yogurt, worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, lemon juice, a bit of water, and fresh ground black pepper.  It was yummy and quick!

Gotta run…our friends will be here in a second to see our place and to drop off stuff if they’re staying here tonight.  We’re going to have a full house.  Hopefully I’ll have time to post all of the interesting photos in the morning. 😉
