Golden Birthday 4/7/15

My Day
Today is my youngest sons "Golden Birthday" (he turns 7 on the 7th). Today is all about being present, no mindless snacking, knowing I am drinking plenty of water, and focus. During The Open I did not do extra accessory work - that all gets added back in today. Lots of body weight work and running. Bleh. I know I need it, but it's just SO hard! The day ended up great. We had family over for dinner, there was a light rain, and all is right in the world.

My Food
Breakfast: eggs, sweet potatoes, mint tea
Snack: Ostrim Peppered beef stick
water water water water water water
Lunch: three hotdogs (no bun and no fillers), cabbage, La Croix Apricot water
Snack: sugar free latte
Dinner: Spaghetti squash and meatballs. MMMMMMMM and a few chocolate covered strawberries - only cause it's Mason's birthday ;)

Monday Ramblings 4/6/15

My Day
Last day of spring break and I've got one kiddo getting over a cough/head cold and one kid right in the middle of it. With each cough I panic that someone is going to throw up. Sheer panic all day. We did some weeding in the garden, planted tomato seeds, and get some fresh air. Our gym is starting a 60 day Paleo Challenge on Thursday and my husband and I are all signed up. We did this 2 years ago and it was very successful. I lost 14 pounds and Sam lost 33 pounds. Here's hoping this helps me shed this layer of fat I've got going on. My big goal for today is  NO EATING OFF THE KIDS PLATES. You would think that would be easy, but it's crazy how when you pay attention you realize that you take lots of stupid bites of their food. *no bites of their food today! WIN!

Touched base with Jenn "Streaky" Yates this am. I haven't chatted with her in a while and I am super inspired by her all the time. She is the first girl that I saw and thought "That's it. I need to lift heavy shit and be like Streaky". She is the nicest person - always takes time to chat and answer questions. One day I hope to get to meet her in person.
