Deep Thoughts

In the winter I usually don't take my iPod out on my runs with me.  The stocking cap over the ear buds is just too uncomfortable.  I have to listen to the crunch of the snow (which can actually be quite soothing) and think about life.  I ponder deep thoughts such as these:

1.  Why did they stop showing "Tigger and Pooh" on Disney?  The Super Sleuths were so cute.
2.  Yes!!! Since I ran today I can totally enjoy an iced coffee from McDonalds :)
3.  Okay, if run 5 miles at an 8:40 pace my time would be.....
4.  I should probably use this time to pray.  Dear Jesus,
5.  What?  1 mile.  I've only run 1 mile.
6.  Okay, my time would be.....
7.  Run harder.  Run harder.  You have to wear a swimsuit in 3 weeks!
8.  Look at that dump.  How can people let their homes get to that state.  So sad.
9.  Okay, my time....screw it!  I hate math!!!
10. Hmmm, what should I make for dinner?

I know, I'm so intellectual.  And to think, CNN.com just posted something about Wheaton being the Harvard of christian colleges!  Anyway,  here is a fun random photo of my little guy and me just before I head out for a run.  Look at that cheek I get to smooch all day!

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 th...

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 ru...

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...
