Finding Good Mascara

Workout:  3 mile tempo run, abs, and upper body endurance - I had to throw in the upper body endurance video (which is killer tough) because I'm making chocolate chip cookies today:))

I'm definitely not a beauty expert.  I'm your typical drug store shopper when it comes to hair and make-up supplies.  And I get my hair cut at the mall.  Which according to some is totally ghetto!!  I'm a stay at home mom so I obviously don't need to look glamorous, but I still want to look cute.  And thankfully, you can make yoga pants and a t-shirt look super cute!!


And as far as make-up goes, the one must have product I need to look cute is mascara!  Most days it is all I put on.  It's easy, it's quick, and it does amazing things to the eyes!  And, it makes me feel prettier.

 However, finding a good mascara is so dang hard!!!  I thought maybe I wasn't finding good mascara because I was buying drug store brands.   I then decided to do mega research one night on good mascara. Soooooooo, in my quest to find the most amazing mascara I found Dior Diorshow to be either #1 or #2 in the polls.  And I splurged.  I wanted long beautiful eyelashes like Kim Kardashian so badly that I spent the money.  Okay, actually I found it on e-bay with free shipping for only $13!!  Anyway,   bye-bye Rimmel crap, and hello good mascara!!!


And I must say - I'm totally NOT impressed!

Pros:  It doesn't clump, ever!!!

Cons:  Pricey - around $28

I thought my list of pros would be a mile long, but sadly, my quest for good mascara is still not over. And yes, I know those Kardashians have beautiful eyelashes because they are fake;)

Workout:  8 miles/1:25:02 It takes 9 months to put the weight on, and it took 9 months and 6 days to get the weight off.  FINALLY!!!!!!  I am at my pre-Orlando weight.  I gained 40 whopping pounds during my second pregnancy, and I am ecstatic to say that I have now lost 41.  I worked extremely hard to get that darn baby weight off, and there were several times I didn't think I was going to be able to do it.  Thankfully, my determination won in the end.  I have expressed before on my blog that I am not a healthy eater.  Junk food is my good friend, and fruits and veggies are evil gross!! (Okay, not ALL fruits, but pretty much ALL veggies are evil.) So how did I do it?  I cut out a lot of carbs.  Not completely, but I closely monitored my carb intake.  I limited my Coke and McDonald's Sweet Tea splurges and tried to drink these sugary beverages only on weekends.  I discovered Crystal Light Pink Lemonade which I drink during the week instead.  I stopped buying chips....complete

Kick Him in the Face REAL Hard!

Now, remember, this made the list of top 10 things I hate.  And wouldn't you know I now have to do a lot of it.  After weeks of insane knee pain I finally made an appointment to see a sports medicine doctor over at the Sports Enhancement Center.  Turns out I have severe tendonitis in my knee, being caused by my hamstring, due to lack of flexibility.  The doctor told me to quit running completely for a month, and he told me I was overweight.  (LOOOONG story about that.  Maybe I'll have a post on it sometime.)  I then proceeded to cry which caused a very awkward moment (more so for him than me...you should have seen the look on his face).  So three days after my post about hating stretching and cross training it's thrown right in my face.  I am stretching everyday and doing the elliptical for an hour every morning.  I have a race next weekend that I'm running even though the doctor said not to.  Going against the doctor's orders is my form of being rebellious!  I'

Setting Goals

I'm always setting goals for myself.  Running goals, nutritional goals, cleaning goals, etc. (That last one is always a challenge.)  I set goals so I have something to work towards; an everyday challenge to conquer.  A couple of weeks ago I thought about what type of new goals I wanted to make.  I started by thinking of a running goal.  I needed something that would be challenging, yet achievable.  I decided I would challenge myself by trying to run at least 20 miles a week. Next, I wanted to set some nutritional goals.  Anyone close to me knows that I eat like crap.  Total crap!  In fact, I honestly can not remember the last time I had a piece of fruit.  I have just a few more pounds of baby weight to lose and I know eating better would definitely get it off.  So I set a goal to make wiser food choices and cut back on my snacking.  But late in the week I discovered a couple things about my goals. The first is, don't make running goals in the dead of winter.   Especially wh
