Hey everyone! My Monday is going by (too) fast! Let me begin by saying I got tons of e-mails and a few comments regarding the SATC Tour, it was super fun and if you are a fan I recommend it! I am a little but of a fan (sarcasm).
This is actually a picture of me on Christmas a few years ago when my mom and dad bought me the complete SATC series! Like I said, mildly obsessed 
Today during “lunch”, I pumped!!! That’s right, I went to Body Pump. This time I went up in all my weight! YAY!!! This class has made me seriously strong. The more I do it the more I love it!!! I was lifting weight that I could barely pick up when I first took the class with Tina (you can read about my first time trying BP here). Oh Body Pump how I love thee!!!
Before I pumped, I had a small morning snack of 1/2 of a green superfood bar and the other half of my banana from this morning.
After pumping, I headed back to work and worked while eating lunch. Since we have very little food, I haven’t grocery shopped in over a week (but plan on going tonight), I had to pull out old faithful! Pacific sent me so much soup last month I still have a whole bunch of it! Today, I pulled this guy from the cabinet!
I enjoyed about half of the container (2 cups) of the spicy black bean soup with some crackers, laughing cow and the last of the baby carrots in our fridge (we are running dangerously low on produce).
This soup was good! I liked that it had a spicy kick to it. It was not my favorite black bean soup, (I like Amy’s better because it is a little chunky, which is how I like my soups) but I liked it a lot. So far, I have not been disappointed with ANY Pacific product I have received! GO PACIFIC!!!

As you all know, in Honor of Thanksgiving being right around the corner, I will be posting something I am thankful for in every post. PLEASE feel free to join in in the comments section! So for this post:
I AM THANKFUL FOR: My fantastic (and gorgeous) Bridesmaids/best girl friends!!!!!
Here I am with all but one (Kara, who lives in TX) and my mom at the Running of the Brides! This is the day I bought my wedding dress!!!! All 7 of these ladies got there butts out of bed at 4am and headed to the ROB to wait for hours in the freezing cold (it was Febuary in BOSTON..bbrrrrrrrrrr!!!) with me to run, fight, and claw our way to the perfect dress!!!!
I have 8 Bridesmaids in total you can learn more about all of them and how I met them on our Wedding website.
These ladies are seriously the best BM’s and a girl could ask for!!!
My MOH, May actually made all of these hoodies for us for that day!!!! Mine had a veil!
I choose these girls because they are the best friends a girl could ask for and I can’t imagine standing at the alter on my Wedding Day without them beside me. They are all funny, incredibly smart, supportive and caring; not to mention gorgeous…am I wrong?! . I know that I can always count on them when I need them and I would truly do anything for these ladies. I am so blessed to have such a great group of girl friends!!! I LOVE YOU GIRLS ALL SO VERY MUCH!!!!
Me and my MOH and bestie May!

I can’t believe you did the running of the brides!! It looks like a mad house whenever I see it on the news. That’s awesome that you got your dress there! Was it hard finding it?
Julie:
It is insane!!!! But, I got a $3,000 dress for $252, so it was worth it. My BM Crystal actually bartered to get it and brought it over, she traded a few of the dresses that I didn’t like for it! It was fun, but a little scary!
wow that is a steal!!! I can’t even imagine how scary it was, you and your friends are very brave!!
YAY! for Body Pump! It truly does make you stronger and transform your body. If you love it that much, you should consider getting certified to teach it. That’s why I did. I loved the class, the instructors, the atmosphere and the results so much I wanted to show others how it really does change your body! It’s so much fun!
Oh, and a definate YAY! for good friends. Dont know what I’d do w/out them.

I am truly thankful for my girlies as well. They are always there to listen to me during my ups and downs. The one positive thing of how we met is the amazing friendship we formed at such a terrible place to work!! love ya girl
And we’re thankful for you! I still can’t believe we survived ROB. And I LOVE that pic of us from 4th of July. I haven’t been online in a few days so I gotta go read your nyc recaps now….
Awww love you and we are all very thankful for your friendship =)
I mean if knocking a lady to floor for tryin to take one of the dresses from Running of the Brides isnt love then i dont know what is hahaha!
You have a great group of friends who will be standing beside you on your wedding day.
PS: I love watching Say Yes to the Dress but Running of the Brides seems A LOT more exciting!
