Friday! Yeah! SnapShot Of The Week Gone By!

Hey Readers, Well it Is Friday, I have a minute to get in a conversation with all of you and how the week went by!!! woo it did! I lose track of each day.. To give a snapshot of just today, as a mom, wife and fit lifestyle. I read various blogs and have so many woman and men that I love so much and sometimes when I read their busy lives I get exhausted by how much they are doing per day. Well It even overwhelms me so I reflect back on what I am going to share, I hopefully you will not be overwhelmed either. I applaud those that can cram a lot in a day. I use to be like that (speaking of self not judging). But now having a child it is even more important that I try to stay balance. Sometimes I feel it and have to sit back say what will it profit me, to run like a rabbit, and see my life past me by. To share about me, I was giving a chance to have a baby that I did desire but I was so consumed with life and afraid of what if? God ( I give him the glory) that I was pleasantly surprise with a pregnancy to my husband of 14 years( now, 17 years). I was like wow and shock! So once she was born she revived me, honestly and help me put things in prospective. I even sleep so much better, because I suffered from severe insomnia. Slow down everyone, please! my husband and I was giving a gift, and I am very glad to be available to see her grow at home with work from home. She is such a blessing to me!. My husband is really cool too, we have been in each other corner. My doggie Happy, teaches me before my baby, love, he is the sweetest son in fur. Readers value what is first that is those that you love. When it boils down to it that will be the most important in your life. I have learned that Today, is the most important just today! I can not predict tomorrow, today is my life that is all I have, and so do you. I hope this finds you encourage to say because I try not to look past material things or what I want, because wants change daily I just pray that all is met for my family needs.
So let me get to the fit lifestyle,:
1.This week I accomplish my goal 27 miles complete Yeah!!!
2.I weights this week 3 days minimum but will take it up to 4 days
3.I am getting in my water intake of 64oz and above.
My run group we have bump up hour mileage which is great because it will keep me from not getting bored, and challenged.
My Blog Goals:
1. I will make sure to blog a minimum of 3-4 times per week
2. I need to update my blog with a design
3. Add my Girls Gone Sporty Ambassador badge
So if any one wants to donate to upgrade it  by all means I welcome it!!!

Wednesday Mid Week Recap! Fit Life, Family Time and on the Grind!!

My Baby Girl she is 2 1/2 and my dog " Happy"

Hey Readers, so it is Hump Day Wednesday, already, it is the middle of the week, and here  in Georgia children last day of school, and the sign of Summer Vacation. Well today my toddler is a stay at home baby girl and get to enjoy the comfort of home and learning socially and curriculum with me. As a mom of a baby I waited some years for it is always refreshing to see the changes in her growth, and I now cant believe she is 2 1/2 and will be 3 at the end of July. In saying that today it was so beautiful me, her and the doggie Happy hung out and had a picnic at Panda Express sat outside and ate. My baby got her first little purse at this coolest consignment store. So, This morning I ran at 4am did 6miles with my running crew. It was a slow pace because I got a chance to talk with a fellow runner that is at a slower pace and I never really had a conversation. I learned a lot about her and she is so sweet! I get to enjoy women and their lives on the pavement and it bounds on the pavement. I did not do any weights today I came home. I actually took a bad fall on my Monday run, that I wanted my ankle and knee to be on easy street. So tomorrow, will rock out on cardio and my Hour of power. I miss the class on Tuesday to sleep later and my ankle was swollen. I have a race on Memorial Day a 10k so I need to be in tip top shape because I am going for speed. I will have another running mate with me, my main buddy is on a running break. My goal is to still reach, 25-30 miles this week and get to more days of weights. Also, reminder, please make sure that you are getting your H20, 64oz minimum of water.

This Week Recap Remix of the Run/Workout, Get It Girl Plan 4/11/14

Hey Readers, today is Friday, and want to update each of you of the run/workout week went this week. I went pretty, good I stuck to the plan of my goals this week, accept today Friday I was going to, do circuit  training, but my running group we did 6 miles this morning more of a mild run, and then the next group of my running crew came and we all hugged and talk to where I ran out of time to hit the gym to get home on time by 6:30am. The recap is I did add Beta Alanine and Creatine to my pre-workout drink and had a better push of weights. I did add a extra day this week which is not on my plan posted last week. I add 3 miles on Thursday. I decide to keep up a mileage of 25-30 miles per week. During my half training, I did a good mileage, so I decided to stick with that plan. One of the reasons also Hey, I love to run. This weekend I will do a run as plan hills, 6- 7 miles. This week I am trying out this detox called Sassy Water for 7 days I am on my 4th day, I will share about the results next week. I am getting good results with my body, seeing some leanness, and muscle definition. I would say to each of you to get a plan and stick with a workout plan that works for you. Every workout is not for everyone, the one that I have  is good and doable, please if you have any questions about the plan, you can do it to. One thing about me I go to the gym, I am not good with video tapes and need the atmosphere, plus it is my time by myself from the family focus on my health. Most mommys I believe my opinion need sometime to do something for themselves physically, who says that you have to look like a mom, and forget to keep the body tight. I truly think one will feel better about themselves. Hang in there everyone, stay focus!

Hypothermia Runners Beware: Be Safe and Not Sorry

Yesterday, Morning I was having a conversation with a ultra marathon runner at my gym. He was discussing with me that this past weekend he had a 50k race in the North Georgia Mountains. For those that are new to running such as myself that is 30miles. I myself am still learning the Runner language.  He shared with me he did not complete the race he stop at 20 miles. The reason, he could feel hypothermia started to settle in his indication was, trying to touch his little finger to his thumb and was not able to do so. As we had our 6:00am discussion he told me that health and safety first at all times. I thought to myself how important this conversation was that we had, In my discussions with some of my running groups online and fellow runners they become so "Gung Ho" to prove that they can run in poor conditions. At times I think it can even become a competiveness between runners to say " If you can do it", I can do it ". This ultra marathoner I talk with always shares such great insight. He is in his 60's plus and have well over 80 medals. Since the weather has been a challenge in the morning for my 5am outdoor runs I schedule the runs on the treadmill, so am not trying to be super girl and run under 30degrees weather to train, but when it is the race, I will take my A game and get out there but will listen to my body. Rookie Runners and Advance Runners beware listen to your body. Run your race and pace.

Accountability Partners For runs or Workouts: Love them or Leave them!

Today is January 4,2014
Already, 4 days into the new year. As it is January the beginning and the weather is certainly cold. I do not do new year resolutions because I feel they must be things that are short and obtainable an that you can tie into your daily hustle and bustle lives. I like to incorporate goals because it become habit forming and part of the imprint of your life. For instance, people all of a sudden get accountability partners to share a fitness goal. However, it can turn to a bust if you both have not made a true commitment to self. That means sit down with yourself and say" Why are you doing what you are doing". Then write it down. for yourself. Because once that person stops base off of life circumstances out of their control or really did not make a true dedication to self. You will fall off the commitment. Make sure if you have a accountability partner and groups please spot the Debbie Downers" One sided encouragement, you got to push them, call them to remind them of the workouts or runs etc. That's not accountability partner that is a negative drainer, and you will fall prey to it. Oh' let me not forget the one that if they are not orchestrating the plan to workout or run they find a way to discourage the other one. Also, take time to observe the person you have selected to be a accountability partner what is their workout habits previously, do they stop and start all the time?. Take the time to really know who they are if you select them as a partner.
