RentTheRunway & Weekend Recap

TGIM! After a weekend of fun, Monday gives me a calm feeling. Am I the only one on that train?
Although the weather is crappy today (it down poured right after I dropped Sophia off at school this morning), I still got all my errands ran, and made it to the office to get in a couple hours of office work. I'd say it's a successful Monday already and it just hit noon! We can all go home now and feel happy about ourselves. 

Friday night was the rehearsal dinner for Jenny's wedding. We met at the church for rehearsal (Sophia was a flower girl) and had dinner at the Westin Bistro Room
This is the only picture I took at rehearsal. My phone kept closing on me and I just gave up. 

Saturday was wedding day! We made sure to get a run in before and almost made it six miles before we gave up to the heat. It was 90 degrees outside and the run was bruuutal! At least we saw some cute cows on the journey...

The wedding was absolutely beautiful! The reception was at a new venue place in town called The Vault. It's an old bank building that still has the vault inside, hence the name... They had a Spanish band keeping the dance floor full and alive! We danced almost all night! So much fun.



The dress I wore was from RentTheRunway.com. I was super nervous about it since I didn't receive it until Friday afternoon. The fit was perfect and I fell in love. I am officially addicted to RentTheRunway! It's so easy to use, and you get to wear amazing dresses and not burn up your wallet. I rented the dress and earrings. In the box that is shipped to you includes your dress in two different sizes of your choice, your accessories, and a return envelope with return shipping label. You wear the outfit, look fabulous, then pack it all up and drop off to UPS the next day. This works perfect for me, because when I buy a dress to wear to a wedding, I usually never wear it again. 

The wedding food:


Sunday was a day of rest and flying kites in the backyard. We basically just ran around the yard holding the kite as there was little to no wind. :)
Italian Chef Angelo made Baked Ziti for dinner! 

I hope you all had an amazing weekend!!! 

Coming up this week on Al2GetherFIT!

- Sweet Potato, Chicken sausage, and Kale Bake Recipe

- The Different Types of Parents you see at school drop off

#GiveandGrub & Tuesday Thoughts

Last night I went to a blogger event with the Tampa Bay Bloggers. It was such a fun event with GiveandGrub They are a local food truck who donates a meal to a child in need for every meal sold AND every use of the hasgtage #giveandgrub on Twitter and Instagram. 
With over 700,000 people in the Tampa Bay going hungry every,single.day, this is a super easy and delicious way to help and STICK IT TO HUNGER!

I felt honored to be a part of their blogger event last night and the unveiling of their newest menu item, a cheese steak sandwich with sweet potato fries that were out of this world! Anything drizzled with melted butterscotch and marshmallow has my vote for best thing ever!
If you frequent the Tampa Bay Lightning games, you've probably seen their green and blue truck parked in the plaza. Next time you spot them, purchase one of their amazing gourmet meals and support the cause! Their food is made with quality ingredients and ensure happy taste buds and belly!  
Not your average food truck foods right there! :) 

Tuesday Thoughts

Since it's Spring Break I feel like the first thing on my mind everyday I wake up, or last thing on my mind before I go to bed is "What are we going to do tomorrow?" as if just because it's Spring Break we HAVE to do something. Can't we just chill? We have a busy weekend ahead so this week will consist of random outings and of course FUN! Like today, Sophia & Nelps get to tag along to the office and watch mommy get a few things done, See, FUN!

Yesterday we re-joined the YMCA. We had a membership there when I was pregnant with Nelps since it was too hot for me to run outside during the summer. I'm excited to switch up my fitness routine and go to some classes like Spin and BodyPump! I'm also excited to take the girls to the splash pool this summer! They're going to love it! 

I am running in the FirstWatch Sarasota Half Marathon on Sunday and my training has been less than stellar these past two weeks. I'm going to go ahead,be lame, and throw out an excuse...it's because of the moving and falling out of routine! I'm nervous for the run, and kind of bummed because I was planning on kicking some butt, but now I'm planning on just running at my regular pace (9:00-9:30 min/mile) just to finish without passing out. :) 

I have a weird throat thing going on. I lost my voice and my throat is scratchy/itchy. No fun. and another reason I'm nervous for the half marathon on Sunday. 

I ordered a dress from RentTheRunway! We have a fancy wedding next weekend, so I ordered a beautiful dress to be fancy! I can't wait to take pictures in it and show you! Hopefully it fits perfect! :) Have you ever rented a dress? 

I need to start working on my posture. I looked at a picture this morning of myself and my back was hunched over and BLAH! It made me cringe. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday! It should be a good one! :) 

XOXO
