What's Loaded on the iPod?

Workout:  3 mile tempo

Matt and I got a 2 month membership to the local "fitness center".  It is just the high school fitness center, but they open it to the public in the morning and evening.  So I head over the other evening to jump on the treadmill, begin digging in my pockets, and I can't find my iPod!!  And this is what happens.  I panic.  I don't know if I can do this.  I really don't know if I can run on this machine without any music.  Okay, I can do this.  I will just think about things - life, to-do lists, races I want to run.  I made it .3 miles.  And those .3 miles were torture!!!  Oh my gosh!  How do people run without music?

Here are some of the new tunes that get me going and make running fun!

1.  Nicki Minaj - Va Va Voom - And can I just say I think she is a better judge than Mariah Carey!
2.  Justin Bieber - Beauty and a Beat - You have to admit, this kid makes great workout songs!
3.  Maroon 5 - Daylight - Love this one for my warm up.
4.  Alex Goot - How to Save a Life - I just discovered this guy on YouTube and this version is soooo much better than the original.
5.  Pop Danthology 2012 - This is a mashup of the top hits from 2012.  I LOVE IT!!!  If you like pop music click on the title and watch the video.  It is super cool.

Hoping to get a few more new tunes in the next few weeks, too!!

A little mommy rant!

Workout: HIIT download/2mile run Okay moms, I hate being bombarded in every parent's magazine and internet article about all these super star moms.  You know, the moms  that feed their kids organic food, only let their children play educational games, and make their two year old do service projects. You can judge and put your nose up in the air about me, but that is totally okay, because I judge you, too!!!   Seriously, I want to throw my greasy hamburger in their face and tell them to shove it.  My kids are awesome, healthy, happy, and enjoy life.  And I enjoy the things I do being their mom.  It is totally okay to: 1.   let my kids eat McDonald's french fries.  2.   let my children watch cartoons....right smack dab in front of the t.v.  3.  Allow them to drink  a late night polar pop!!  I believe this is Dr. Pepper. 4.  iPad games instead of story time at bed!! I don't care that these things...

Summer Races

Workout:  3 miles easy - 100% humidity and dew point of 76!!  UGH!! Since fall is here in just a few days I thought I should throw my summer races up on the blog while it is still officially summer!!;) I was pumped about my summer races.  I had a good workout plan in my mind, and I was going to break 23 minutes!!  I was so determined!  Well, I thought I was so determined.  But, I guess I wasn't that  determined because things fell apart pretty quick.  There was vacation, and then our cruise, and then traveling up to Illinois.  And although I could have run during all these events, well,  I didn't.  OOPS!! Fisher Fair 5k I ran this race with my brother, and this was his first race in 20 years!!  It was really cool to run it with him, and to see him get back into running.  I actually only ran "with him" for about 7 steps, and then he took off. Mile 1 -7:34  Yeah, way too fast.  I'm actually pretty good a...

Pregnancy, Fitness, and Food

Workout:  None...yet.  But I might later.  Which is what I've been saying everyday for about the past 3 weeks!!! Hey, you all!!!!!  Guess who decided to reappear?!?!  And guess what I've been up to?  Just cooking up a little boy in this belly of mine! So, I'm 30 weeks pregnant, (31 according to the docs, but whatever) and NOTHING has gone as planned.  And when I say NOTHING I am referring to diet and exercise.  First, I had plans of running as long as I could.  My goal was to run to at least 32 - 34 weeks pregnant.  I made it to 6 weeks, folks.    6 WEEKS!!!  Then, the morning sickness hit, and it hit hard!!!!  I was sick all day and all night.  I was so crazy miserable.  And it didn't go away at the end of the first trimester.  It lasted a good 18 weeks!  Once I started feeling better I decided to just work on staying toned.  I was in the gym lifting weights about 3 days a week.  ...
