Winner!!!

Sorry for the delay peeps. The winner of my giveaway is: Ashley! Congrats!


I hope everyone is having a great week. It's busy around here as usual!


I've been staying motivated and working out daily. I've decided to back off on the weights and concentrate on running and biking. I'll still lift a couple times a week, but with much lighter weights. I think this is what I need to do to get fit and build the endurance I am seeking. I'm also hoping I'll drop a few pounds with the extra cardio! I consider my legs super strong, but let me tell you after running two miles and then the bleachers (only 2 minutes on the bleachers, I'm not completely crazy!), my legs were cashed. So below is my version of an ice bath. Super cold water with the one measly tray of ice cubes we had :) Mike offered to go buy a bag of ice, but eh, it was already dang cold! And yes, I know this pic is pathetic!


I'd like to leave you with this thought... "It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner. " Vince Lombardi
Peace.

    Love the ice bath picture. Agreed, it's kinda pathetic ... but in an endearing way. It's the thought that counts!

    Haha, my preferred ice bath has the tray of ice from my ice maker sitting on the side of the tub, suggesting cold. I'll leave it there until my partner comes in and starts laughing at me and generously offers to throw it in the water. I think he really delighted in dumping 32 pounds on me this morning :) I just can't do that to myself!

COMMENTS CLOSED!!! I'll be back later with a new post to share the winners :) Thanks to all who entered!! ONE WORLD-ONE HEART I'm proud to announce my One world-One heart giveaway!! This is my first year and I think it's way cool! A Whimsical Bohemian is the hostess for this amazing event and I "pirated" the follwing paragraph of info about the event from her: "The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong.We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and then in 2008 we had just about tripled that number.This is more than wanting to win something.......that is only the means.....

Happy 4th! and... a Giveaway!

I hope everyone had a great holiday! The pic above is of our local fireworks, which we are lucky enough to be able to see from our house :) We had my family over today for a cookout. Steak and chicken on the grill. Yum!!! I chose the chicken. Weird right. I LOVE steak! However, I had two cupcakes yesterday that my daughter made and decorated red, white and blue for a party, so I felt like I'd indulged enough! I love cooking for people. I think I should have more parties :) I ran yesterday for the first time in a long time. I decided to try out the high school track made out of recycled tires. My hip (long story) was sore, but bearable. I started over with Week 5 of the Couch to 5K training program. Figured it was best not to rush it and injure myself again. I had enough left at the end to run the bleacher stairs for 3 minutes!! (My quads were screaming, but it felt oh so good ;) You can't really tell in the pic, but my face was sooo red! I hate that I get this red. My middle d...
