More Dust

Well this was the week when the tile repair men came. Dust storm number 2 was a doozy. I have finally recovered and moved back into my house. I know my parents are glad to have us out of their house.

10k day is fast appraoching. Feb. 27th. I am worried that since I have not been keeping up with my running as well as needed that I may officially stink next Saturday. I am really going to focus on good nutrition and some easy runs this week to remind my legs what they can do.

I posted this picture just cause it is cute. You may notice a little mess of tile. This is our dog Max sleeping in a flower pot. I took the picture through the window.

This has been a super long weekend. We are out of school today for President's Day. I had a good trip to Wal-Mart Saturday. I bought a lot of organic produce. I bought organic oranges, apples, spinach, lettuce, and potatoes. I also found some other goodies. I have yet to see organic grapes in any store close to me. Maybe one day.

I ran Saturday and Sunday and I was super sore and stiff. I seemed to get the kinks worked out and felt better about halfway through each run. I think I am going to take a bike ride today to change up things a bit.

I am loving watching the Olympic games. I like it when they show an athlete's mini biography. Well I better go. My dad bought me two blueberry bushes and it is time to get them planted.

The little one loved playing in the snow. We built a snowman and she was giving it hugs and kisses. Lunch was a healthy grilled chicken wrap with salsa and cheese. Here is a picture from today.

Snow Day

No school, Greg is off work today. What a lazy day. I went out about 30 minutes ago and measured around 3-4 inches. Greg is out right now sweeping off the Directv satellite so we can watch tv. The tree limbs are starting to sag. Hopefully, we will keep our electricity.

This will be day two of controlling mindless eating. We are about to go and take some pictures. I will post again later in the day.

Just Saying No

Today I have been practicing on my self control over my habit of mindless eating. I seem to have some really bad habits to overcome. I have done pretty well today, only a few slips. The weather and children have made running impossible this week. I am either going to be well rested or out of shape for the 10k on the 27th.

South Mississippi is expecting 5 or more inches of snow. This is unheard of in my lifetime. If it snows that much that will be the most snow I will have ever seen.
Schools are closing for tomorrow and children are super excited. I am worried about our electricity.

We hosted our church youth group tonight for a progressive dinner. I was responsible for appetizers. I served cheese sticks and quesidlla rolls because that is what teenagers like. It was nice to have visitors at the house.

So there are Mardi Gras parades in the area this weekend but I think the cold weather is going to keep us at home. We'll see. Enjoy the snow.

Bowl Day

Super Bowl Sunday. I can feel Ro-Tel dip in my near future. Maybe I can muster up a healthier alternative. Ro-Tel always makes me feel very sleepy. Someone told me that Velveeta cheese has almost the same composition as plastic. I wonder if that is true? The sun is on strike. It would be a lot easier to run today if the sun would shine.

Yesterday I got lots of play time in. I like playing with the toddler, she is so funny. I did not run but I did do Shred and some yoga. 10k race day is getting closer. I am starting to realize that I really do not have the time to devote to be a good runner. I am not giving up just recognizing my limits, full time job, baby, almost teenager, and house to run.

I have been eating the most delicious oatmeal for breakfast this week. Oatmeal, almond butter, milk, and heated frozen berries. It tastes amazing.

Have a great Sunday. Who Dat!!!

Finding Amy

Today was a productive day at work and a good food day. I was super excited on my latest trip to Wal-Mart when I saw they had stocked a frozen food shelf with Amy's. I enjoyed the enchilada meal for lunch at my desk. I can't wait til breakfast in the morning when I can eat some oatmeal with almond butter.

Rainy, cold weather canceled out a run for the day but I did crank out some Shred on the DVD and I even caught half of Namaste Yoga on the Fit channel. My arms turned in to jello somewhere during all of that.

For supper I dined on a veggie burger, cole slaw, and leftover baked beans. I am trying to make a huge effort to not waste any food. I spend quite a lot of money at the grocery store every Saturday and I stay out of the store until the next Saturday. Some days I have to stop for milk but that is all I usually buy midweek. The toddler does love her moke. Have a great Tuesday.
