Another Monday

Fat Amy says F*ck you snow! It's spring!

It's Monday again and wow, another shitty one. I haven't posted but mostly because I don't have anything to say lately. I've been searching for some inspiration and some motivation and haven't found it yet. I think this snow is bringing me down.

Anywho, I did get some more walking in because I don't plan on running the 5K but I do need to at LEAST be able to walk the damn thing! So I went back to the Metro park from last week and found a few more areas that I hadn't been to yet. The trail was easy to walk so it was Tessa-proof. That earned a big ole thumbs up from me!

And a thumbs up from Chuck. He's kind of a big deal...

I also read about another trail that runs behind a bunch of huge fancy rich people houses in my town so I went and investigated. I brought Sophie and she did alright. She was so excited she was whining and barking at the same time (which I did not realize was possible) all while doing her happy dance. We didn't go too far since she was about to stroke out from all the excitement. I went back later and walked the whole distance with Chris and it goes back a lot further than you would think and it looped around. We ended up spotting 10 deer about 20 feet away. I tried to lure them closer but my high pitched baby voices and waving did nothing to convince them I was safe and without a shotgun apparently so they took off into the woods.

NOTE: This scares deer away.

Actually thinking back, they took off into some even richer peoples backyards, not more woods. Speaking of those backyards one of them had a huge tennis court which was expected, what was not expected? The above ground K-Mart pool set up on it. I wish I had my camera to take a picture. They seriously erected a pool on their no longer used tennis court. It was kind of refreshing. Money can't buy class people.

Yes I've skipped two weeks of weigh-ins. I will be back on target this week, pinkie promise.

Peace & Love Homes,

Dirty Girl Run

Here goes nothing! On June 1st 2013, I am participating in my first 5k. Yup. 3.something miles (the 3 and miles are the important part) not just me of course. My momma and two sisters and one sister-in-law will also be joining in (No boys allowed). The Dirty Girl Run is a great jumping off point!

First- it's not timed so it's not competitive. That's amazeballs because I would come in last, dead last.

Second- There is more to it than running. There are a bunch of obstacles too! I love to get dirty.

Third- Supposedly there will be music AND booze. Yup yup, I'll take it!

Today I did my first bit of training since I purchased my new tennis shoes. I walked on the treadmill for 1 mile. It took about 25 minutes and I couldn't feel my legs. I am so out of shape it is just....ugh. I am in a shape, the shape of someone who swallowed a beach ball! But not the kind of shape I need to be in. Come hell or high water (what does that even mean?) I will be there on June 1st and it will NOT be pretty.

Back to December

News years resolutions have already started for me. I have had no fast food or pop in two weeks. I have had chipotle, Chinese, chocolate and pizza but those do not count at least not to me. I feel better on days when my food choices are cleaner but I'm working on it. It's a sprint not marathon! I would like to see myself in a year from now down at least 10 lbs and as a non-smoker. I would love to be down 100 pounds but we'll see. The 5k I'm doing with my sisters and mom is coming up! As in, next July. Nice to have a goal! Till then sugar plums :)
