Quick and Dirty Recap

Oh hey, remember when I used to blog? I miss it SO much, but honestly have let it fall by the wayside and am not making a priority for it.  Plus with two novels under my belt and starting my third, all my creative juices are going into that.

But as this is mainly a record keeper for my family, let's see if I can do a quick and dirty recap before Christmas!!

We had a fabulous Thanksgiving this year....mainly because Skip was off for it!!  WAHOO!!! I hosted the first time {though my dad made all the food} and had my whole family up. It truly was one of the best Thanksgivings ever!










The day before we had Emmy's 7th birthday party at Build a Bear with all her friends from school. I cannot recommend them enough. It was stress-free and the kids had a great time!

On her actual birthday we had lunch at McDonalds per her request and then went to see The Good Dinosaur {which if you haven't seen, DON'T...it is not the cute, fun, kids movie you think it is}. It was such a sweet day celebrating my girl!







This month has been filled with a ton of Christmas-y activities.  We went to the holiday parade in town.  We attended Skip's work Christmas party, and one thrown by our friend.




We visited Santa and both girls had Christmas shows at school.







Now we're getting into crunch time, while LOVING this warm December Jersey is having.  Let me tell you, after the past few years, we deserve it.  65* on Christmas? Yes please!!

Workout Wednesdays

Welcome to another week of workout Wednesdays!  Have you ever seen someone in the blog world in really great shape and wondered what they do to look that great?  Ever struggling for motivation or fresh new workout ideas?  That's what I want this space to be for.  So come link up your workouts with me! Here is what I have been up to the past week: Wednesday: None Thursday: None Friday: None Saturday: 5 mile run / ab roller Sunday: 6.5 mile run {1 mile PR 7:38 / 5K PR 26:08} Monday: Tabata workout / ab roller Tuesday: 4 mile run Weekly total miles: 15.5 Monthly total miles: 43.3 Weekly total workouts:4 I was feeling pretty under the weather in the beginning of the week, and also a little burnt out on running, so I took a few days off.  It's important to know when to push yourself, and also when to take a break.  One of the biggest things I've learned recently about fitness is if you really want to push yourself, one of the best ways to do that is to find some...

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 ...

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?
