My week off

After the marathon I took one week off. Here's what I did:
Celebrated my 1st marathon with champagne
Cheers!
Sat on the couch
Had a margarita 
Ate homemade truffles
Had another margarita
More couch time
Ate lots of steak
Even more couch time
Ate mushroom risotto... 
sweet potato fries...
and homemade pizza
Then ended the week with one last margarita 

Now, it's back to real life and working out.  I have a triathlon on May 22nd so I can't waste any more time laying around and eating delicious food.  I've been to the pool more times in the last week than I went all last summer combined and I've already ventured out on 2-22 mile bike rides - I'm feeling good. But, if anyone is curious: yes, taking one week off was glorious!

Don't forget about my Honey Stinger giveaway - it ends tomorrow (May 12) and you do not want to miss out on the chance to win these delicious little treats!

  11. Your week looks so good! I wish we were taking a vacation this year, but I wanted a very expensive puppy instead, lol.

    I was mad that I'm your 249th follower, it would have been cool to be the 250th!
