Holy crap! I stop logging in for like a week & so much has happened, it's going to take me awhile to catch up on everyone's posts, but it's slow at work today

Anyways, I just can't seem to keep up with logging, so I cannot do the Star challenge, but I gave up sweets for Lent so that should help with the eating habits. My regular food is pretty healthy, it's just adding in all the junk that's a problem. Not eating right away in the morning has also been hugely helpful. Thank you again Beeps for helping me realize that it's okay not to eat in the morning! I wait until I am hungry to eat, novel idea. Also, I am working on my training for Mudderella, however I am having a hard time keeping with the workout program on the blog so I am going to try & tweak it a bit to fit into my schedule. I also went back to my Saturday morning yoga classes - so boring, but so good for me.

Hope everyone's week is going well.

Ashley & Amy - Just followed you on pinterest! (I think) I am obsessed with pinterest and am constantly pinning new healthy recipes and everything else follow me if you'd like!!

Ram - what is your pinterest name??

Yay! New Pinterest friends!

Beeps....4:45 PM! I am not a morning person. I was waking up around 630 to work out at home for a while but I prefer to snuggle with my kiddo once she gets up around 630 or 7 (or 6 like this morning.....). I got to work "early" at 8:10 instead of around 8:30.

Good to hear from you all! We've been moving fast lately!

Chloe... or Ashley now!! I was so confused when you added me! I was trying to figure out who the heck you were!! Makes much more sense now I agree with you though, I've definitely become a morning workout person!!

You guys all have such great pins! Glad we connected on Pinterest

...this is all very confusing.

Here is what I do know, for sure. I have never gone to pinterest. Not once, not ever. Same with instagram...

Does that make me a "dinosaur"??!?!? Probably.

On the other hand, there are only SO MANY "time sucks" I can permit and so, I have to stick with the few I know: Venus, facebook, mfp and a couple private chat forums (that I've been a member of for >15 years).

Once my kids are teens and are floating around on social media sites that are "in" at that time, I might have to re-evaluate. For now, omg....how MUCH TIME do you peeps HAVE for electronics?!?!?!?!?

I had a fun workout last night. Got down to the office gym about 4:45. No one was there. Did some back rows with just the bar (we have no plates yet) so I was able to do more reps. Did Bulgarian split squats. Did bar overhead presses (again no extra weight so more reps). It was sort of nice taking the weight down and doing more reps. Especially the OHP's, I felt like I was getting better range of motion and using more muscles. Then I rowed for 10 minutes, something I haven't done in forever. Finished off with some abdominal ball work and then just messed around. Did some yoga poses I haven't done in a while, then headstands (can still do!), handstands (can do against a well), tried handstand pushups (I can get down a couple inches....maybe), walking handstand (can't do this), tried a backwalkover (still can't do this), realized I can't do the splits fully anymore, and realized I can still do a roundoff and a toe touch. It was fun. And now I want to be able to do a backwalkover. I was never a good gymnist. Took overall gymnastics for maybe a year as a kid and took 3 years of tumbling during cheerleading in middle school and could never do much. I know I currently have the strength and flexibility, so now I am determined at 33 to be able to do something gymnastics-ey.

10k in the morning! My PR is 59:29. Doubt I'll be breaking any records tomorrow, but we'll see. So I'll be eating pizza and having a little beer tonight. Carb loading is fun. Have a great weekend ladies!

Beeps - Wow! That sounds like a terrifying experience!! I hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou: I love your pic though! Happy to see you have a face I'm glad you had a good vacation aside from the nasty urchin stings!

Amy - Your plan sounds like a good one! My cheat meals would end up being liquid too! haha

Ashley - Looking great!! I hope you did your 5 miles like you were planning! I can't wait to be able to run outside again.. once this stupid snow melts I can get back on the bike path!!

Alexluevano - Welcome! Sounds like you have some great goals!

Wassergottin - Great goals!

Sorry I've been MIA!! I've been doing pretty decent with eating, splurged a bit this weekend, had Mexican & Chinese food! It was delicious, but not too healthy haha! Next week, starting Sunday I'm doing the 7 day cleanse that I did this summer with the fiance & a friend from work. I've been stuck at the same weight for a few months and just want a jump start on losing the last little bit! I've still been great with working out in the mornings and I can't wait til the bike path clears up so I can run on some mornings and lift on the others!

Also, in other news.... I FOUND MY WEDDING DRESS!! I'm so excited!! Now I have to wait another 404 days to wear it Time to really work on getting a butt and toning my arms & back!! :happy: :happy:

Thank you! And that's ah-mazing! That'll give you everlasting determination
