I really did have an awesome day today - nothing in particular, just a great day!
Started the day off with getting G to preschool and then a 10 mile run. I was aiming to run outside but it was alittle too warm for my warm weather gear and alittle too cold/windy without it so I hit the treadmill and had a surprisingly awesome workout!
My bff came over around lunch time... I ate something I hadnt eaten in a while. 3 egg whites with cinnamon and pumpkin spice mixed really really well and in a hot pan, flip once until both sides are crispy. Top with diced apple, 1 tbsp greek yogurt and 1/4 cup flaky type cereal. Shockingly good!
G did his third day of quiet time instead of nap - its going surprisingly well.
After quiet time we cleaned out my truck, went to get his hair cut, bought new toys for the dog and went into panera to sit by the fire and he have a cookie, me have a coffee. We made cupcakes for school tomorrow - we love taking in the snack for snack time!
We went for a walk so G could practice his bike skills and ran into a neighbor and let our kids play for a bit.
E grilled tonight so we had super juicy yummy bbq chicken, my brown rice combo (asparagus, mushrooms, brocoli, garlic, onion and tiny bit of brown rice). Nice to sit as a family and have dinner.
G is curled up watching cartoons - first time he has had the tv on all day - love that! And Im saying hi to all of you. My wonderful husband is doing laundry.
Great day!

Manic Monday 3/7/11
Happy Manic Monday everyone. As usual I sucked at remembering to take my camera places with me... so yes I was busy busy busy but very little got cought on the camera!
So this morning I woke up to run... dont I look fabulous! HAHAHA... omg I cant believe Im posting this picture!
I have that MUST HAVE COFFEE look about me! Well it was windy and cold out and tomorrow its supposed to be pretty so I opted to enjoy my Shakeology
This is my breakfast most mornings - very yummy, very filling, very healthy... not to mention fast and ready on the go!
This is where I left and forgot my camera! DANG it... I was even going to ask Kim the spin instructor to take a pic of me in my spinning glory. Well I got myself slightly more normal looking, dropped G off at school and hit the gym. ROCKED OUT a 60 min spin class... burned 700 calories! Normally I only hit about 500-550! Then I did a full upper body and core workout. Followed by coffee from my favorite coffee place. No temptations from those so yummy but so bad scones!
After getting home and being again so beautiful...
I was HUNGRY and it was lunch time... left over brown rice with stir fry asparagus, peppers, zucchini, mushrooms + 3 oz grilled chicken and 1 tbsp hummus... YUM!
By then it was G's quiet time and I thought I wanted to lay down for an hour but after I layed down I changed my mind. I got up and brushed all the animals - 2 cats and a dog and cut their nails. Im going to try to do this every monday so my damn cats will quit scratching my new floors!
Then it was cleaning time - Mondays are also now my bathroom and bedroom days... trying to get into a cycle. So I scrubbed two tubs, two toilets, two sinks and we had to change all of our sheets. G likes to get into the cleaning - he is acutally a big help!
Then it was snack time... and here is where I keep my food journal
Then I sat the computer back down and forgot to pick it up :(
G had tai kwon do... so cute seeing 4 year olds trying all the moves! Then we went to Panera Bread for dinner for my go to panera dinner... cup of chicken noodle soup, thai chicken salad with no dressing and an apple. SO SO SO good and really not that bad - only 8 or 9 points.
Now G is in the tub and Im so ready for bed time!

class half empty vs half full
I want to be a glass half full kind of gal... im not but boy do I want to be!
Today I aimed to run 20 miles at the gym on a freaking horrible pain in the hiney treadmill... gosh I HATE treadmill running for longer than an hour. Well I got 10 miles in and quit... not because my legs hurt, not because my breathing wasnt working... it was BORING and my mind won. Granted I spent two sweaty hours in the gym today - yet I feel like a failure because I didnt do 20 miles. I took G swimming after nap today and then to panera for dinner and feeling sorry for myself I ate half his cookie then got a scone to go and ate it on the way home :( poo on me. I know better. And now my stomach feels like crud and the 10 miles I hoped to do after G went to bed SO is not happenning. .... HOLD THAT THOUGHT....
You cant tell but after I wrote that paragraph I ran down to the workout room and turned on the tv and dvr to record my shoes for tonight so that once Im done typing this Im heading down to do something. Tomorrow I was going to get up and do my weight training but I think I will do that tonight instead while watching Big Bang Theory and tomorrow I will get up and do some cardio. On a sad note... I cant find my jump rope :(
On another positive note - once I got home from gorging on an orange scone that has about an entire days worth of calories... I pulled out every veggie in my fridge and did batch and batch of stir frying - red, yellow and green peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, asparagus. And I cooked some brown rice to mix in with it as my side for meals for the next two days at work. I will get my protein at work - we always have plain grilled chicken breast that will be good with a smear of hummus and my veggie mix.
ok so not a horrible day... yes I made a few bad eating decisions (doesnt help its that time of the month, TMI sorry)... but I did work out for 2+ hours today. I did make healthy food for the weekend. I did play like a 4 year old with my son at the pool and even did wii dance kids after dinner :)
