Mother's Day!

I got up this morning.  Did dishes. Said good bye to the one child that was awake and went grocery shopping.  Only when I was checking out and the guy behind me said he had to go shopping for Mother's Day did I remember it.  Oops.  Hubby and I have an unwritten rule that when it is a birthday, Father's Day or Mother's Day that the person of honor is supposed to sleep in.

I got home and everyone was in the kitchen making breakfast for me.  Not exactly breakfast in bed like planned.

By the way...grocery shopping is going much better now.  I don't hate it.  I am thankful for knowing how to keep my children healthy.  Now if only I had more will power for the times I am alone.  I went out to Chinese food last week.  It was so good at the time but I paid the price.  I haven't exercised for 5 days because I have been sick.  Today I am finally feeling well.

I bought $224 worth of meat, beans, vegetables, fruits, and nuts today.  Well, there were 5, 2 litters of coke, 7 zero calorie sports drinks, brown sugar, almond milk, and vegan soy free butter.  But I think that is all.  (I buy specialty bread, noodles, chocolate chips, rice, oatmeal, and crisp rice at a Foodies which is an hour away.  When I buy these things I buy enough for a month.)

Happy Mother's Day!

Silence..sometimes it isn't golden

I am forcing myself to write this post.

I have to admitt I am struggling with training for my mud run.

I am not losing weight.  This is really making me question myself.

I am still exercising.  Maybe not as hard or as much as I should but some days I surprise myself by how much I do.

One day reciently...I got up and walked/ran.  I took Scooby (16 weeks old now) for a bike ride because I can't run fast enough for him. I went for a walk with one son.  I played tennis with by other son.

So I am active.

I have been really good with what I eat.  There was one bad, bad week.  But I have turned it around.  I am eating good and tracking my calories.

But it is a very hard journey.  I am constantly questioning if I can do the mud run.  I so want to turn tail and run the other direction.  It would be easy.  I think my sister would rather not do it.  There are so many paths between now and the mud run.  Each path has an escape route.  So far I haven't taken any of them.  That's all I can say.
