Out of Town

As everyone knows, being out of town can be hard. Working out, eating right, etc.
I am hear to say, I have at least started off on the right food. Ate a good breakfast, went to the gym, had a green smoothie when I got back...all before 11am. GO ME!

WOWSERS!!! Amazing when you put them together.

I miss my bike...

I did not get up to ride today! bummer! Son #2 had a rough night. I think he was having nightmares. Everytime I went in there he was screaming about the stuffed animals in his bed. Needless to say, they are all on the floor now. It's hard to wake up early when you have listened to a screaming toddler all night and 1/2 the night they are in bed with you.

I really really wanted that ride this morning. We are driving to Houston this afternoon, and I wanted to get a jump on the car butt. However, I will be packing our dinner instead of stopping at a restaurant to eat. That will help.

I have already scoped out the closest 24Hour Fitness to my parents, it is not far at all. I will be visiting it at least twice while I am away. Julie and I start the next phase in our workout this coming week. I am excited to see what lays ahead.

Shout out:
GO JEN GO JEN GO JEN! She lost 4.5lbs this past week. Proud of you!!!

Quip...

When we left the gym today, I was so so so so close to throwing in the towel and driving by Sonic for a coke. That thought left as quickly as it came. Glad I didn't. That does not help me deal with my child or myself!

ERG!

Well I got up and ran at 6:15a.m. Finally managed to do that. It was a terrible run. I did not even do the last walk/run split. I'm not good at running anyway, so not running in a few weeks greatly hinders me. BUT, I got up and did it, moved my body. So I am happy.

Arm workout today, more to come...

***UPDATE***

Went to the gym was in a great rhythm, in my 4th exercise of 6 on my arms - then abs when I hear my name called to come to the Kids Klub. I grab a diaper out of my bag, usually Son #2 has pooped. I get in there smile at Jama, "Poop?" I say. "No, Son #1 has to leave the club today." Oh dear Lord. Son #1 was racing his matchbox car up the slide, he was told not to. Little fuzzy on the next part, then Ethan throws the car at her. Nice. Jama puts him in timeout, he throws the chair at her. FOR REAL! So #1 has to leave. First, #1 is a boy, but he is never that completely aggresive. I obviously have slacked off on working with him and voicing his frustrations instead of acting on them. We get my stuff, walk to the car where we had a conversation about how upset I was, etc. etc. etc. etc. #1 did have a rough morning before we even left the house. That should have been my first clue.

Now I am home, it's 11:40 and both boys are in bed. #1 consequence for his actions, #2 did not get alot of sleep last night, woke up early and then fell asleep on the way home - he's by default!

I don't know what I will do to finish the workout. We'll see. I'm frustrated, it was hurtin' so good today. Off to enjoy the quiet for a few minutes...

GO JULIE GO JULIE!!! She lost 2 lbs. You rock.

Hanging my head, completely aggravated with myself. My alarm must have turned itself off, wink, I did not wake up until 7:15. I will run this evening.

More later...

Quickly...

Made a great smoothie this morning...

Fresh blueberries (1ish cup)
Fresh strawberries (3-4)
One frozen banana
Little milk
Little crushed ice
Scoop vanilla protein
