Sharing my life from son up 'til son down
I'm not sure what it is about people who enjoy running...but it's this not-so-secret little cult that I'm starting to understand more about. They love to run, they love to talk about it, they love to read about it, and they love others who feel the same way. They wave to each other and smile on their 6:00am weekend runs. They talk about their shoes, their races, their pace, their training ... [ Read More ]
I always love seeing everyone's healthy meal plans for the week, and realized I haven't posted mine for awhile. I currently have several friends on the Advocare 24 Day Challenge and some starting up soon, so I know these were always helpful for me when I felt like all I was eating was chicken and veggies all week. There are so many awesome clean recipes out there that you should never feel bored ... [ Read More ]
So I feel like we may have been a little selfish this weekend. Obviously we got in tons of family time, but Greg and I got to finally fit in some time to do a few things we wanted to do too. We try to squeeze in as many date nights as we can, but usually don't leave until the boys are in bed to get in ample kiddo time. Plus let's be honest, they hate when we leave, but we know we need to force ... [ Read More ]
Good morning!! Looking for a quick, delicious, HEALTHY, and clean treat for breakfast {or any time of day at that}? Look no further....I'm kind of in love with chia seed pudding! I have seen a few ways to make this online, but I just stuck with what I had at home. Here is the recipe I used for my tasty breakfast this morning! Chia Seed Pudding Recipe Ingredients: 1 part chia seeds {for my ... [ Read More ]
You guys...I had PIZZA on Saturday after the race. Like real, cheesy, sausage and pepperoni pizza. I'm not going to lie, while I have grown accustomed to clean eating and love the foods we eat, that pizza tasted like a little slice of heaven. I was totally famished after the mud run that I probably could have eaten an entire large pie by myself, but I refrained. It really is all about ... [ Read More ]
Do you want to see what I did on Saturday? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFB-6nFcQHg The day was here, the day I had been training for for the last 6 months. The commitment that ultimately lead to my weight loss journey and my new found love for running. June 8th, 2013....the Camp Pendleton World Famous 10k Mud Run...it's been staring me down on my calendar since January 1st. 6 miles, ... [ Read More ]
It's been awhile since I have done a Workout Wednesday post. I am happy to report that although I've been slacking on posting about my workouts, I've been doing great at actually getting them done. As of late I've been getting in 1-2 good runs during the week, 2 Turbo Kick boxing classes, and 1-2 days at the gym doing cardio and weight training. I had to cut back on running because my left ...

So if you read my last Workout Wednesday post I dropped some very obvious hints to Greg that all I wanted for Mother's Day were some new running tanks, and to relax. Pretty contradictory wouldn't you say? He must actually read my blog, because he came through and hooked this mama up! Aside from feeling pampered and getting a couple of cute new tank tops, he surprised me with a year long ... [ Read More ]
Happy Monday!! To all my mama readers....I hope you had a fabulous Mother's Day and were spoiled rotten! Obviously, I think moms should be appreciated and loved 365 days a year, but hopefully yesterday was just a little extra special for you! We had an AWESOME weekend...gorgeous weather, and equal balance of fun and relaxation, got in some great exercise, and most importantly soaked in all ... [ Read More ]
Well it's the time of the week again, to hold myself accountable for my workouts, or my lack there of. Last week was good, I got in two Turbo kickboxing classes and a couple of long runs. Then this past weekend happened...Greg got super sick with some random flu-like stomach virus and it knocked him out cold. Friday and Saturday were a total wash with him being stuck in bed all day, so I wasn't ... [ Read More ]
