Monday Motivation

Happy Monday!!!!

Last week was CRAZY busy and this week is going to be even crazier!! In our little town it’s the fair which means a parade, rides for the littles, horrible food choices……..On the 3rd is our annual fireworks party which means horrible food choices…………..and on the 5th is our 5 year wedding anniversary…which means…………………………….horrible food choices.  SO. That being said……My goal this week is to make the best of the horrible food choices I have. 

Fair Food: NO DICE. No fair food will be consumed by this mama. PERIOD.

Fireworks Party: It’s at our house so I’m going to make some healthy food for me and I’m not sharing. I kid. I may share with some of the skinny bitches that will be in attendance. Or they will just stuff their skinny faces with all the delicious food while I sit and visualize punching them in the face. It could go either way.

5 Year Anniversary: Since the babe is still attached to me every few hours we won’t be going away for our 5 year like we planned………………………………………. So in the past Hubby takes me to a really nice dinner and then we go walk around the booming city of Ann Arbor and just relax.   Good food choices, Good food choices……

In the workout department I’m doing really good.  Last night I did my longest run with the Max Man so far and even had a decent time.  

Boom.

Thursday is the Firecracker 5K in Ann Arbor and I’m running it with Max so I’m trying to get ready and set a realistic goal.  I think I can do it under 35 minutes easy.  We shall see. Do I get all ballsy and try and beat my last race time of 33.34??? EH. It’s a holiday. But I’m super competitive. It’s my first race with him so it should be fun….and by fun I mean a lot friggin harder but I’m pretty excited to have his crazy self with me. He will be all decked out in Chicago Cubs attire…I mean Red, White, and Blue.  He’ll have a flag that I’m hoping doesn’t end up in my eye…and our stroller will be sporting some festiveness as well.

Over the weekend we went on our own mini vacation and I:

1. Didn’t “work out" but camping with 3 kids under 4 was about as much of a work out as I could handle.  

 NOTE: Camping in my dictionary means a cabin with a              bathroom and kitchen.

2. Ate like CRAP. I brought grilled chicken and we cooked it…but I ate it with a side of Red Vines and smores.  Awesome.

3. Felt like the titanic when we got home yesterday and am SO GLAD I went for a run.  I felt much better….less sinking Titanic…More floating Titanic. 

4. Am back at it today.
