Whirlwind Day
It’s Saturday 
Hope you all have some fun or relaxing plans for the day…
Today should be somewhat of a whirlwind kind-of-day… I started out at the gym from 7:30-7:45 doing mainly abs (using the “love handle” machine and the crunch machine and then did some incline situps)… Then hopped on the bike shortly after for my 1 hr 8am spinning class… There was an hour and a half class being offered at 9:15am today that I really wanted to take but unfortunately since I have plans at 11:30am, it would be really rushed trying to shower, so I just did my normal class and burned away 473 calories woot-woot!
Before class, I ate half of a Zone Perfect bar… After class, since time was short, I ate the other half… I actually enjoyed the taste of this bar… I didn’t buy it, however, I had it leftover from one of the ACS rest stops and ate it, essentially as an “experiment”… It was good and seems to have really fueled me well for the class… even more so than the Clif bars… weird… maybe the 14g of protein have something to do with it 
However, I do want to check out the Pure Protein bars that Fitnessista talks about on her blog…
Now I’m off to shower & inhale a quick cup of coffee and head out the door… For mother’s day, my mom, grandmom, and I usually go to lunch at a local Tea Room; however this year we couldn’t since I had my MBA graduation that day, so instead I purchased gift certificates for them so we could go another time… Seeing as how this is my last free Saturday before the wedding (that’s crazy!), we decided to take advantage and go today… Afterwards, my mom and I are going to tackle many stores today in an effort to get more wedding to-do’s crossed off the list… We’re planning on working on the “out-of-town” bags today! Plus, I decided to forgo my DIY reception centerpiece idea and have the florist create elegant centerpieces instead after seeing the wedding last week, so we also have to return a bunch of “supplies” to the craft store… In case you were wondering, this is what I was going to do for the centerpieces… since I’m not using it anymore, I can share with you guys since it won’t be ruining any surprises haha…
Our reservation is at 11:30, so I better cut this short and make it snappy! I’ll be back with a post when we’re back from our errands!
Hooray for spinning!!
GORGEOUS starfish!! Love it :0)
Happy Saturday!!
Oooh I love the beachy theme… I’m in the middle of decorating beachy cupcakes for a bon voyage party, and I was running out of ideas… you gave me the idea of a starfish– why didn’t I think of that before?!
VeggieGirl ~ Thanks! Starfish is our main “theme” for the wedding so it will be everywhere!!! You too
ChocolateCoveredVegan ~ OOOOOOO I <3 Starfish
Good luck w/ the cupcakes – I know they’ll come out FAB!
I used to eat those Pure Protein bars ALL the time. I really like the Peanut Marshmallow flavor.
And sea shells are so pretty and fresh!! And also different!
Happy Saturday Lindz!
Starfish are a great “symbol,” for when one of the arms break, it grows back! And it always seems to “land” on it’s feet! Good luck with the rest of the plans- I know it’ll be fabulous!
Cute starfish!
Have a fabulous girls day out!!! And enjoy all those wedding plans, so so much fun (despite some days I know it can feel like a chore). Everything you’ve shown us looks so gorgeous so far!

Hey! I’ve never commented before, but just to let you know I’m out here, not creeping around, haha but good luck with your upcoming marriage and plans and yay for spin class! P.S. I used to eat the peanut butter chocolate pure protein bars and they really taste great and provide a hefty amount of protein!
ohhhhh…i like the beach-y-ness of your center piece~ i can’t wait to see pictures after you get married; i’m sure it’s going to be GORGEOUS!
have a nice time w/ your mom and grandma at the tea room! it sounds so quaint!
I like zone bars, but I always feel like I am eating candy. My favorite is the caramel cluster flavor. Yummy.
Anyway, starting on Monday, my boyfriend and I are going meatless for thirty days. I know you eat meat, but also have lots of meatless snacks and meals, so if you or any of your readers have any suggestions for us, please check out our new blog and leave us a note.
Thanks and have a great weekend!
