I Skipped My Run!

I haven't skipped a run in quite some time.  But I needed to rest after my crazy day.  My day started VERY early; around 1 a.m.  Orlando woke up sick.  I didn't get back to sleep until about 3, then he woke again at 5.  I quickly decided to throw out my 5:30 a.m. workout.  He was fussy the entire morning.  I got him into the doctor for the afternoon.  Make the 30 minute trek to the Dr. while listening to Lyla whine.  Wait for 10 minutes in the waiting room while Lyla has the biggest meltdown EVER!!!!  Sadly watch Orlando scream the entire time the Dr. checks him out.  He's fine, thank goodness.  Back in the car.  Try to stay calm while Lyla has an even BIGGER meltdown because she can't have her paci.  Lyla pees her pants in her carseat as a result of her hysterical meltdown.  Thankfully, I always have extra undies for her.  Pull over and change her.  Finally home!!!  Yeah right.  Meltdown #3 occurs when Lyla gets her t.v. privileges taken away due to her behavior at the doctor.    At this point, I'm trying not to have a meltdown.  Let me tell you, I was really, really, really close!  When Matt gets home the last thing I want to do is go for a run.  Some people find exercise to be a good stress reliever.  But this is what I find to be a good stress reliever:
That's right.  Those are Thin Mints.  It felt great to sit my butt down, watch television, and just eat junk!!!

    Yep, definitely agree that sitting on the couch eating thin mints is WAAAAAAAAY better than running!

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...
