Goal Achieved

I promised to step it up a bit in May..let's see how I did!

Thursday May 1 - Ripped in 30
Friday - Ripped in 30
Saturday - 3.2 mile run
Sunday - None
Monday - 5.1 mile run
Tuesday - Kickboxing levels 2 and 3
Wednesday - 2.6 mile run


Weekly Total - 10.9 miles
May Total Miles - 10.9
May workout total - 6

Can we take a closer look at Monday for a minute...5.1 miles!!!!!!!  That is the longest I have ever run before...ever!  It is a goal I have had for a year now, and without any extra training or anything, just decided to go for it a mile into my run on Monday.  It was a little painful {maybe since I had only gotten 5 hours of sleep the night before and had nothing but coffee for breakfast before I ran} but I did it!!  I had seen there was a 10k in my area on Memorial Day, and after I finished the 5, figured I could train in the next few weeks.  Unfortunately I hurt my knee pretty bad during that run, so I think I'm going to have to out that idea to the side for right now.  But let me tell you, if you have any sort of fitness/running goals, make sure to just do it!  You'll feel on top of the world:)

30 Miles in 30 Days

Happy Thursday everyone!  I'll be honest, I almost didn't link up today.  Mainly because there's really not much to report.  Here's what I did:   Thursday September 19 - none Friday - nothing Saturday - 2.5 mile walk Sunday - nada Monday - zip Tuesday - nothin' Wednesday - no thing Weekly Total - 2.5 August total - 31.4 Yeaaaaaah...so that whole 50, maybe 60 miles I was hoping for this month is not going to happen.  In my defense, I seem to have come down with the plague and have been sick all week.  Saturday was the only day I felt kind of normal.  I always have trouble pushing myself when I have a cold to workout, and normally end up just sitting on the couch under a blanket instead.  I really do miss working out though and will hopefully be able to get a little something done to finish out the month. What about you?  Do you still workout when you're sick?  How do you motivate yourself?

The Movers Concert!

Image
Sooo, I totally didn't mean to take this mini blogging break.  But life has just been crazy busy and on the go the past few days that there was no time!  It was nice though to just step away from pretty much all social media and just LIVE.  This weekend was good for my soul and I will be doing a few catch-up posts to fill you all in! The fun began on Thursday afternoon.  Way back in October, Skip and I heard that that Imagination Movers were doing a concert nearby.  You know, these guys from the Disney Channel... They once aired a concert of theirs on the Disney Channel and Little M is OBSESSED.  We have it saved on the DVR, and she wants to watch it at least 3 times a week.  So when we heard about the tickets in October, we were really tempted.  But we didn't know if she would still be interested in them, and with our trip to Disney, we were saving all the money we could. Well fast forward to two weeks ago.  Little M was asking to watch the ...

What to wear in September

Image
I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but here in Jersey the weather gets a little strange here once the calender switches to September.  It's still really warm during the day {70's and 80's} but it drops down to the 60's, 50's and sometimes even 40's at night.  And since it's post labor day, it's not exactly appropriate to be rocking all my summer favorites.  So this often poses a real challenge when it comes to clothes. The past few years, since I'm a SAHM, I have just lived in yoga pants, a tank top, and a zippie {a zip-up hooded sweatshirt} most of the time.  But since I have to take Emmy to school now, I don't want to be that frumpy mom standing in the pick-up and drop-off area.  Here are some of the outfits I've been throwing together.  I've been working hard on finding things that I can easily add or take away clothes as the temperature changes, instead of changing my outfit 109834598 times a day. {Sorry for the...
