Back to blogging...

Today was a good day. Julian was in a great mood and well behaved all day. Even at my dermatology appointment in the waiting area for an hour. 

I have been getting a lot of questions from my friends about healthy food lately. Here is one of my favorite recipes that I had for lunch today. Everything is from Trader Joe's. Corn tortillas, black beans mixed with edamame, cilantro lime dressing (2tbsp), avocado (1/4), and feta cheese. So yummy and filling.

 

Then for dinner we had BBQ Chicken Salad. I added in left over edamame and black beans, cucumber, avocado, granny smith apple, and feta cheese. I have been getting super board with regular water so I have been having "fancy water" with dinner. Mineral water with fruit. 

  

At nap time I started reading my Tom Petty book. I love, love, love Tom Petty. I wanted to get back into reading again and decided instead of buying a new book I should read something on my self that I have not read. I am so glad I picked this one. He is my favorite and after only reading a couple pages I was hooked. Enjoyed with iced coffee :-)

We worked on our pumpkin patch today. Right now the Kandy Korn's are in the lead with the Big Max's in second. My poor heirlooms with not sprout but I am hoping that tonight is the night, since it is a full moon.

I am working on becoming a pilates instructor. I am about 200 hours into my 500 hour training. I have started setting goals on what I want to accomplish on my journey. This is super embarrassing but I have been working really hard on my pilates and yoga. I wanted to take progress pictures so here is my first picture... nice PJ's Hun?? French Bulldog shorts woot woot!

Thanksgiving Feasting

So much to be thankful for...

18 Miles... Oh My!

Today was the day. I was going to run 18 miles. I could not sleep last night, I had horrible anxiety. I had trouble relaxing, I kept getting up to pee. I was worried. The time was changing. I was loosing sleep, sleep that I needed. Would I be able to do it? Running 16 miles was horrible, how was I going to run two more then that?

We meet 6:30 am. Got out of our cars. We were more quiet than normal. We packed on our gear and then hit the pavement. Finally, Sarah broke the silence with saying she was having anxiety too... thank goodness! I was freaking out on the inside! We talked through it. We could do this. We agreed not to talk about the mileage until we were half way. Things were going good. We came across a bicycle race that was in town. Which was fun to watch the bicyclers getting ready. We crossed their start line. We were doing a new route, and I had planned it. Around mile 3-4 our road dead ended because of construction (ummm.... you think mapmyrun or runkeeper would know this) so we decided to keep going. We would just run in the dirt. But it rained this week and it was not dirt, it was serious thick mud. I almost lost my shoe. I tired to see if we could have crossed this path but there was no way possible. We had to re-route. My feet were covered in mud. 

We ran on... and on. And I came home to smooshy face on the window :-)
