I went running today! Man, it felt good. I haven’t done a tremendous amount of running this month (cold, wet, YUCK!), so it was a little bit harder of a run than I’m used to. I’ve been working out and keeping my heart rate in the 120-130 range. Today I took my heart rate three … [Read more…]
( …Sometimes I just like to take a really dorky selfie. I’m not even sure why, I just know I get such pleasure from acting all silly and cheesy… And then looking at it.) Somehow I hurt my back. I mean, I think I know what did it, all the push-push-pushing to exercise like a … [Read more…]
Today was delightful. We woke up with big plans to go to the zoo, to go for a walk, to do all these fancy things… But we didn’t do anything. Instead, we hunkered down in our house and hung out, family style. We collectively did the Jillian Michaels Six Week Six Pack routine, then, while … [Read more…]
Tonight the last words to my children were, “Goodnight! You guys are the best kids in the world and you should know I am done parenting for the night! I love you!” Then I closed my bedroom door. I considered locking it, but then I thought about emergencies and fires and scared little kids running … [Read more…]
Oh my. There was a glow party at my school last Friday. It replaced the beloved Sock Hop- since the people who hopped in socks are now the grandparents, the sick hop was confusing. It was funny to watch the little second graders dressed up in their tie dye and hippie skirts or neon workout … [Read more…]
It’s kind of fun to look at my numbers a different way. Today I was watching The Biggest Loser and they were talking about total percentage of weight lost. I got to wondering- would I be a contender? Turns out that I wouldn’t have won anything, but 38% definitely would have put me in the … [Read more…]
It’s been quite the weekend. The rain, OH the rain, how it fell. The wind blew a lot, so we went to the park to fly kites during the few moments the sun peeked through… Despite that I still managed to get out to run in it twice, to do the hill twice. In fact, … [Read more…]
It is the four day weekend and I am loving it. It’s so fun to arrive to Sunday night and not have to do ANYTHING to get ready for a work week. *my daughter thinks wearing a sports bra and capris is a super cool exercise look and begged me to don this number so … [Read more…]
Just a taste of my Valentines’ Day. The pictures were my valentines to my kids- they each got a Valentine themed lunch or snack, which they were both nuts about, and coupons intended to let us spend a few moments together. My son immediately got the foot rub taken care of. He loves coupons like … [Read more…]
Today I came home to see that I finally broke past 210. I feel like it’s been ages, after the Christmas debacle, but I’m back on track! Yeah for warrior week! I’m feeling much better. I slept like a person in surgery last night- ridiculously deep. I used the meditations as I crashed out and … [Read more…]
