Oh right, I do.

What have we been up to lately? Hmmm..

1. Well, I did my Anniversary 5k on Monday and shaved off 4:05 from my time last year =)
2. N is finally saying yes! Really she says, "aww no.. *pause* aww yes!" Whatever I'll take it!
3. She was finally moved up to the Toddler class and I think she's loving it. She ran in and hugged her teacher this morning and that makes me VERY happy.
4. D is exhibiting typical 3 year old behavior and it brings stress and joy depending on what 5 minute span of the day it is..
5. S is down ~7lbs! He called and told me he is no longer considered Obese and is just Overweight per the BMI standards.
6. My bff is in luuuuuuuve =)
7. I'm still fluctuating 5lbs and I'm just dealing right now. I'm sure as I get closer to August I'll try and crack down on it but until then I'm just eh about it.
8. My next 5k isn't until August but I'm telling myself to KEEP ON TRACK!
9. My (possible) 10k is in September.. September FIRST which might as well be in August. Ahhhhhhh!

And in closing..

10. My childhood/teenage pet.. nevermind.. just know that yesterday had some rough moments and I.. can't even really write about it.

Week 3 is brutal! (5/2)

We just did week 3 and it was just wrong on so many levels.

The duck walk?? Burning. Burning in my thighs!

Tomorrow is S's first weigh in since starting ww =) I hope the scale does not disappoint. Cross your fingers!

I'm no longer watching my weeklies. If I use them I do and if I don't then there's more for drinks.. just kidding! Well, except for this weekend. We're going to try the Bud Light Lime-a-Rita's in celebration of my cat's birthday. She was born on May 5th, 2005 =) Happy Cinco de Mayo Amai!

I've begun working on a for real debt eliminating budget/plan. With D turning 3 this past weekend it only makes our need to get rid of our credit debt and start working on moving to a school district that we like all the more necessary. My plan is to be in our new house by the summer of 2015. D will be starting 1st grade that fall and I don't want him to start at one school just to have to transfer once we're in our permanent home.

I'll probably be talking about this more and hopefully be laying out a concrete plan very soon. A new month always gets me excited to budget properly =) It's a fresh start and a new day. I've been playing with the idea of thinking of our debt as "excess weight" we want to lose. I think I even want to make "going" and "gone" jars for it. Hmmmm..

7 Quick Takes to Cover 5 Days

1. We (S and I) decided we won't do Jillian on Friday/Saturday/Sunday and I get a break on Monday while he does his arm/pushup workout. I think I might be winning in this balance ;)

2. I ran 9 miles total last week! With no pain (as of right now) to speak of.

3. I baked one batch of cookies and a box of cupcakes on Friday and then another batch and box on Sunday. I must really love my kid. I did get to eat the batter each time so it was pretty much a win-win. Batter doesn't count by the way! It's raw therefore free. I just said it so I just decreed it!

4. We went to the circus for D's birthday gathering and it was a success! He loved it and I think everyone had a great time.

5. I ate a huge salad for a dollar (it didn't cost a dollar, I was challenged to eat it all FOR a dollar). Not really a challenge though since I'm a member of the Clean Plate Club but he didn't know that. I guess I kind of hustled him? But I had to give it back when I challenged him to finish his entire beer.. come to think of it I don't think that was a challenge either!

6. My "baby" boy turned 3! He asked for cookies, candy and cake so I made him Chocolate Cupcakes topped with Chocolate Chip/M&M Cookies. He was impressed =) He also loves his "Mr. Tater Head" it's his "fabor-it".

7. With all of the cupcakes and cookies I managed to maintain my weight this week. I feel comfortable right now at this weight but I know I want to still try and lose that last 10 pounds. But if it becomes too much of a hassle or I don't get to "enjoy" my life as much because I'm constantly worried about what I'm eating I'm not sure I want to be at a lower weight. At next week's meeting we're talking about motivation so maybe I just need a swift kick to the booty to get back in gear. I'll keep you posted <-- see what I did there??
