Off the wagon…

Hmmm, let’s see how many things I can drop the ball on…eating healthy, 365 project, LiveFit, one hundred push ups, running, sugar consumption…I’m sure there are more, but these are the ones I can think of right now.  I’d say I’ve fallen a bit off the wagon.

It’s a new day though.  I’m gonna pick myself up, dust myself off and do better.  I had already decided to let go of LiveFit.  I wanted to train for a run and I didn’t want such a regimented weight training workout.  Plus, being summer time, I’m not able to get to the gym much.  I also think I’ve pretty much screwed my 366.  Miss a couple days…no biggie.  Miss a week or two…no biggie.  Miss more days than I can count…366 officially dead.

Alrighty then, enough about how much I suck.  How about let’s move on, make new goals and focus on what I’ve been doing lately that makes me happy!

New goals…

start my 100 push ups over again.

continue my race training (thanks to having a race deadline that makes me stick to running even if I’ve slacked in my training slightly)

eat healthier and get back on a gym schedule

detox on sugar AGAIN!

Things that I’ve done lately that make me happy…

Ran a 5k with my whole family (daddy too, he’s just not in the pic).  It was my 9yo’s first 5k ever and he did awesome!

Swam with dolphins…

Had a fun day with the kids at the water park

Got a new bathing suit and quite possibly have a little bit of abs showing through (although that was before dropping the ball and you’d be surprised at how fast that tummy bloats when you stop being good!).

Got the first week of school behind us and I’ve been doing well making lunches so far…

Yeah, yeah, I know it’s only been a week, but I’m focusing on the good here!  Hello!  No debbie downers, got it?!

How about you all…have you screwed up lately?  Slacked on your training?  Haven’t been eating as healthy as you should have been?  You are not alone!

May 366

Holy geez.  It took awhile to organize May b/c I started slacking off apparently.  I missed a handful of days and there were a couple of days that were total crap pics, but oh well.  FWIW, here’s my May in a nutshell…

• Mother’s Day brunch with my girl

• my little (big) brother graduated from the JSO corrections academy

• I got a new ride!

• my kids picked out this awesome necklace for Mother’s Day

• my girl was recognized as being in the top 5th percentile of her school

• the dog busted a blood vessel in my finger

• we attended a USA soccer game

• took a joy ride through a tropical storm after our concert got cancelled

April 366

Slowly, but surely getting caught up!  Only 2 months behind now.  🙂

April 2012 Highlights

94/366 – We found out our girl made it into our magnet school of choice, La Villa School of the Arts!  She was so excited.

99/2 – Easter

108/366 – I made overnight oats for the first time.  Super yum and deserves a post all to itself!  I’ll write more about them another day.  🙂

116/366 – Started reading Fifty Shades of Grey series.  Loved, loved, loved them!

I missed one day this month and I’m pretty sure I’ve missed a few in the May/June time frame, but I’m still trucking along.  Can’t just quit because of a few missed pics!

March (yes, March!) 366

We’ve already established that I’m just a wee bit (said in my best irish accent) behind on my postings, so yes, I’m posting my 366 wrap up for March.  I thought I might do it a little differently than I have in the past.  Instead of just posting all of the pictures, I decided to highlight a couple of my favorites from the month.

63/366 – Hubby and I were invited to a Nerdy 30 Birthday party.  This was as nerdy as I got.  Considering I had no clue what I was going to wear, I think I did okay.

70/366 – My baby boy turned 9 this month.  I can’t believe it’s the last year that I will have a kid in single digits!

72/366 – I had my Instagrams turned into magnets.  How freaking cool is that?!

80/366 – Took Lucy-Lou to the dog park for the first time.

82/366 – I finally found some TOMS that look cute on my size 10 feet.

83/366 – Took the kids to Universal Studios Islands of Adventure!  Since I can’t ride roller coasters (motion sickness, remember?), ButterBeer from Harry Potter World was my favorite part of the day.  Other than the usual, you know, spending the day with the family, seeing the kids have so much fun riding rides, etc.  😉

91/366 – Ended the month with a bang…Hubs & I completed the Warrior Dash!  This picture is from before our race time when the skies literally opened up and poured gallons of rain down on us.  Fortunately, just before our start time, the rain stopped completely!  Thank goodness b/c the torrential downpour would have been awful to run in.

March 366 Wrap-up…

February 366

My month in review…and, yes, you are counting correctly…I have 30 pics.  I had a tie for one of the days, so I uploaded both.  🙂

iPhone-ography – January 366

I am attempting the 365 project again.  I usually don’t make it more than a week or two and so far I’ve made it 38 days!!  Here is my month in review…in order from Jan 1st-31st.  🙂
