Summertime Back Home

July 14, 2011 Comments : 6

It kind of looks like I fell off the face of the earth when I returned from Europe….oops. Not the case…I just got busy enjoying summer and working a little bit, too 😉 I still have some interesting stories to share from the month+ I spent over in Europe, but for now, here’s what I’ve been up to…

Ivar _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-20949449-1’]);
_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

First of all, I did a LOT of resting once I got home from London. I was exhausted. Who knew how tiring traveling for a month could be?! I had about two weeks to recuperate and do almost nothing…which I did a very good job of! haha. I worked to ease myself back into running, but it took a little while to get my mileage back up to normal. The first week back, I ran twice I think. Pretty lame! My second week back, I got up to about 25 miles that week. Then, last week I did 36 miles. Finally, almost back to normal, and it felt GREAT 🙂

Ivar _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-20949449-1’]);
_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

One of the first places I went once I returned home was to the beach. Obviously. Makes sense, since its my favorite place ever…and of course it was nice to relax on a sandy beach after sitting on a rocky beach  in Nice, France! Not complaining about Nice, of course 😉 Using poor judgment, I accidentally drank too much wine on the beach, and woke up the next day with a splitting headache. Good thing all I had to do the next day was lay outside and tan by the pool….

Ivar _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push([‘_setAccount’, ‘UA-20949449-1’]);
_gaq.push([‘_trackPageview’]);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement(‘script’); ga.type = ‘text/javascript’; ga.async = true;
ga.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https://ssl’ : ‘https://www’) + ‘.google-analytics.com/ga.js’;
var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

I ended up back at the beach the week after the 4th of July…what can I say…the beach and summer just go hand in hand. I wasn’t there nearly long enough, but it was long enough to get some sun and spend too much money on alcohol. Again…oops. I ended up winning tickets to meet James Wesley the night I returned from the beach, so that was pretty amazing. Its not every day you get to meet a country musician and have him sing to you………

I started working last week, lifeguarding again. One day I’ll grow up….for now, I’ll keep my job of staying tan and wasting away by the pool. Last Saturday, I went to see Tim McGraw in concert again. Last year, he didn’t play Indian Outlaw, so I swore I wouldn’t go back to his concert. Well, apparently I had enough faith in him to give him another shot. And guess what, he DID play Indian Outlaw this year. Glad I made the decision to go! I’m clearly simple, since I declared that I could die happy now that I heard him sing Indian Outlaw at his concert…..

Since I spend most of my days sitting by a (never crowded) pool, I don’t exactly have anything interesting to say. Except my guy and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on Tuesday, at the Williamsburg Winery and having a nice dinner on the waterfront afterward. What better way to celebrate than by drinking alcohol…that’s how we ended up together anyways. haha. Oops 🙂

Maybe one day I’ll get around to writing more about our European adventure….

-xoxo

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
