So I had a GREAT end of the week last week and a really great Weekend!!! We ate a little crazy this weekend but let's see..What did I do?
Friday night we celebrated Dom's birthday (5 years old, CRAZY) with Tacos and ice cream sandwich cake. I had a Taco Salad with some light salsa ranch dressing (just mixed light ranch with Pace salsa) and one crunchy taco (b/c I wanted one) :) Then I had a little piece of ice cream sandwich cake (yummmmm) Dom was so excited by his birthday prize - a netbook!! He is so adorable!!! Due to cleaning and then people...I didn't get to run but that's alright b/c I made up for that on Saturday!
Holy Crap, La kicked my butt!!! I mentioned to my girlfriend Lauren (la) that she could motivate me to run more than I normally do. Sidebar: I've backed out of C25k b/c the next step was RUN 2 MILES!! Are they nuts?!?! So I'm working back up to it. I usually run for about a mile broken by about a mile of walking. Well Saturday morning I decided it would be a good idea to invite La to run with me on the Ma Pa trail. Well...she kicked my butt!!!!! We ran the majority of the trail (total 3.5 miles) and I was dying. My lungs felt like they were bleeding and I was coughing like crazy. Clearly I need to step up my game! I decided I was going to rock it all week so that next weekend, I'm not such a wimp :) We also ate out for dinner at Silver Spring Mining Company. I got a chicken wrap with some crab dip it was good and I only ate half with a baked potato with some salsa on top.
Sunday, we went out to breakfast then church. The boys spent the night with Mom Mom and Poppy Saturday night so it was just Livie/DJ and me! We had a nice morning then I went to a 31 purse party at La's house. I had a couple glasses of wine and some yummy snacky appetizers. I had a couple of mini cookies and dip but all in all I think I did well food wise. When I got home the boys were hungry so I made spaghetti for them and had a few bites but packaged the rest for the freezer (dinner later this week).
Last night after I put Livie to sleep (around 7:30) I decided I wanted to go for a run. I headed out and realized that a storm was brewing. I was pretty sure I could make it back before the rain....so out I went. I headed out for my 2 mile run/walk. I decided I was going to run to a timer b/c I'll cheat distance but I won't cheat a timer. Where I'll stop running a little before the end of a distance goal...I will run straight until the timer goes off (at least I know my limitations, LOL). So I set my timer for 10 minutes and took off at a pretty good pace. I was thrilled at how easily I was able to do it. After the buzzer went off I started to walk for a bit. After about 30 seconds of walking the heavens opened up and God unleased his furry in the form of a DOWNPOUR! I still had about 3/4 of a mile to get home...I just started running and laughing!!! I was drenched when I got home. My hair was dripping and I looked like I had been in a wet t-shirt contest :) It was pretty comical! But I ran basically a total of 20 minutes without stopping!!! THIS WAS A HUGE breakthrough and I have the rain to thank for it (and La)!!!
Tonight I have a PTA meeting at our new school so run/walking is out. I will just have to make up for it tomorrow. Dinner tonight will probably be the tilapia florentine from Poulet (last week) and some brown rice with broccoli. Lunch today was a bit of the left over wrap I had Saturday night and a salad.
My new breakfast is 1/2 C Irish Oats, 1/2 Apple (diced) and 1/8 C. Mixed nuts. I mix it all together with some water and microwave it! YUM!!! and of course my GM! I'm so happy I've turned new people on to the GM! I hope everyone loves it as much as I do :)
