Okay, I give in...
I’m going back to the gym. Heat indexes are supposed to be in the 105-110 degree range here to day and tomorrow. I’ve had really crappy runs outside this week due to the heat; therefore, I’m going to whip heat’s ass by running on the treadmill. Oh yeah, it’s happening to day. Whatever it takes, right???
Hopefully this won’t happen…
Time...
Why you punish me???
It seems I never have enough time in the day to get what I want done, done. I know this sounds like a BS excuse, and I’m really not trying to make excuses, I’m just stating a fact. So far this week: Amy + exercise = none. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. I would say I’m mad, but I aint even. Really.
I get up at 5 in the morning to get ready and be at work at 7. I...
Bring the heat...I ain't even mad
Did 2.5 miles straight run, then some sprints. Time on the 2.5 was 30:45. The sprints were 470 feet (just short of 1/10 mi.) each, at an average time of 40 seconds each, per my Garmin Forerunner 305.
Yeah I’m tired, hot, and sweaty, but healthier.
I'm mad
Nah not really, but I won’t be discussing this weeks weigh in. Let’s just say that the scale hasn’t been quite as kind to me as it was Will. LOL! It’s all good though. Because the majority of the past two weeks has been this:
So. But hopefully somewhat back on track. Routine, exercise, all that jazz, yadda, yadda. But wouldn’t some boiled peanuts be good? See. I...
Weigh-in Friday....
Good morning everyone. TGIF!!
So we changed our weigh day to Friday. I’m still up a tick form vacation, but I’m headed back in the right direction now.
SW - 261
Last week (or before vacation) - 233.4
CW - 234.4
When we got back from vacation the scale was showing 236 (YIKES!)
I’m back to my normal running and eating pattern, so it should keep going down from here. Good...
I would like to clarify..
when I said that Will looked like Woogie from There’s Something about Mary, I meant it in the most loving way possible. Even though he totally did.
But yes, sunscreen is your friend. I have long since gotten over trying to get a tan. I’ve been burnt one too many times in my life and it is just the most unpleasant feeling ever.
Vaycay was great. We had the best time ever with great...
Sunscreen is your friend...
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but we were on vacation last week and have been trying to get back into the swing of things this week. I’ll try to do better now that we’re back.
I visited the dermatologist yesterday for a full body screening. I’m fair skinned, so I try to use sunscreen as much as possible, but apparently it hasn’t been frequent enough. My forehead...
Monday, Monday
Well, we officially have a 3rd grader now. Today was Ally’s first day back and it seems like she has a great teacher. Looking forward to a fab year. She’s in year round school, hence the early start. It was also my first day back to work from vacation. Good gracious. It took me half a valium before I could even walk in the door. I knew it would be bad. But I got through it. Just got...
Thank you
All for indulging my vacation pics this week. Maybe next week I will return to my regularly scheduled drivel….haha
Surprise!!!!!!
Is the word for the day. Amy and my parents had apparently been planning a surprise 40th birthday party for me for several months. They got me hook, line, and sinker. I thought we were going to my parents house to drop our girls off for the night, but when we rounded the corner I started seeing cars lining their driveway. What a surprise it was to see family and friends waiting for me to get...
A big thanks....
to everyone who sent birthday wishes. I’m glad God saw fit to give me 40 years; hope he gives me at least 40 more.
Happy Birthday to my dear friend Stephanie (Aunt Stick). It’s always been a pleasure to share a birthday with you.
I had a good run yesterday evening thanks to my good buddy, Curt. All day it looked like we would be forced to run inside, but in the end, the skies...
So, today..
Is Will’s last day of being “in his 30’s”.
We were talking about it this morning and I was all:
And he thought about it a second and was like:
That’s what you call turning 40 gracefully, yo. Happy Birthday eve, babe!

Thursday!
Hope everyone is having a fab Thursday. I am ready for the weekend! It’s *ahem* someone’s 40th birthday on Saturday!!! (Will, not me…haha). Looking forward to kicking off his 40’s with a bang!
Speaking of that, our friend Steph has gotten herself a brand spanking new tumblr. Ya’ll go give her some love. http://stephdoeslifefrom40.tumblr.com/ She is the one that makes...

This is my good friend Stephanie. She is totally hooking me up with a Do Life plate.
Can. Not. Wait.

Recovering..
from a killa 4th of July. Thankful for our troops that fought for our freedoms, and continue to fight for us.
Had the best time this weekend celebrating the 4th. Got lots of pool time in and topped it off with a cookout at the lake with some friends last night. There was possibly a lot little Southern Comfort involved. Let’s just say that I’m not as young as I once was. I had one of...
1st run since the V...
It went good. Much better than I figured it would. Once I got moving I couldn’t even tell anything had been done. Maybe it was because I was focused on my breathing. I recently read an article about breathing. I think it was in one of the running magazines or maybe someone on here linked to it. Anyway, it had some good pointers that I wanted to start trying once I got back on the...
