Well....let's see it has been over a month and a half and I haven't posted and I haven't inspired myself and I haven't run the amount of times I should've run. But that is ok. The flying pig is a month away...I am kind of prepared but as Jake would say "not so much". However, the weather has changed today...it is super sunny and the breeze is blowing and the world is screaming get a run in NOW. So trying to be super mom is out today...I am going to miss baseball practice GASP! and run while Jake is practicing. I have also decided to sign up for a fitness competition (in the figure category...lord knows I can't do the gymnastics to compete in the fitness area) this will be in October and I can't be more excited. My friend Heater http://phatbearclaw.blogspot.com/ is doing a fitness show and models every week to show her progress...well now I am not ready to show you my rear end yet...but as it gets closer I will be doing my best to show you my progress.
Also, I am now dedicating my blog to doing product reviews on fitness apparel, running skirts, shoes etc. I can't wait to share with you what I think about women's athletic clothing. I am a junky, there should be rehab for my disease of fitness clothing addiction. I have nothing to wear out on a weekend night date with my husband but I look damn good at any race that comes up. Also, I am not biased nor am I paid by anyone to sell their stuff...I will give you my honest to goodness opinion. I hope you all are well and enjoy the nice weather that is coming our way.

Finding it hard to think it's been a year!!!!
ok...I am totally a self admitted procrastinator. I work best under pressure. But I haven't blogged in over a year...like one year and one week. I still haven't found those fitness goals. I have lost some of them. Gotten into worse shape and still trying to find a way. It is so frustrating to know what you want and know how to get there but still not have the self discipline to do it.
so today we are starting p90x for the SECOND time. The day one pics will follow. As well as p90x, I will be training for the half marathon if the snow ever goes away and following a pretty strict eating plan. This should be fun.
Lent is around the corner...ok only a few days away...I never give up anything but think it would be best to have discipline to finally at the age of 33 have the body that I have always wanted.
let's see how this goes.

Ok...so I guess I should've dated the posts
2/8 (Sunday)
Jake ran 1 mile
Brian and Katie jogged 1 mile with Jake, ran 3 miles kids in stroller, Katie walked 1 mile by herself.
2/9/08 (Monday)
I am supposing that the SF gals realized today that class never gets easier. A ton of leg stuff (that is because I am working on trouble spots :) ) Calves and biceps...sorry for those who end up partnering with someone with a blue tube...try it one day and you will realize how hard it is to use the blue tube. We also did a boatload of sprints and cardio...just getting ready to go outside girls. So you think you had it hard...Jake ran 2 yep two whole miles today. He asked to do it. So if my 4 year old can run two miles you SF moms can do a 5k race...think about it...he is a 1/3 of your size and his legs are super short compared to yours so GET MOVING.
Jake: 2 miles
Katie: 2 miles with Jake...3 miles with Jake and Max in stroller with dog (puppy Patches) tied to Stroller...my arms and pecs got a real workout steering.
Brian: not home from work but I am sure will do either a P90X video or run on the treadmill.
My cheat today one oreo. Otherwise doing well.
Remember it is heart health month. Moms have great big hearts but what good are they if they aren't healthy hearts. Choose to be healthy, get moving, choose baked not fried and set GOOD examples for your kids.
Blog at you later.

21 to make a habit...one day to undo it all.
Well..the time has come for Jake to start logging his miles for his 1 mile pig. For those of you who don't know....here is what I am talking about. Our flying pig marathon hosts a children's event. The kids are supposed to log 25 miles during the months before the race and then they run 1.2 to make for a complete marathon. Last year my oldest son, who was three at the time did it in about 15 minutes. This was the first of his accomplishments...he went on to run a 5k in 50 minutes and a miler at the end of the summer in 11 minutes. So his logging of miles started yesterday and he did it in 13 minutes...walking only once.
The other thing that happened yesterday is that Brian and I hopefully recommitted to fitness. As most of you know I teach and own a StrollerFit franchise. What you don't know is that I have been in a HUGE funk. I haven't been logging miles for the pig, I haven't been swimming, I can barely get my rearend to the gym to get on the eliptical. I needed a swift kick in the butt and unfortunately I had to get it from my husband. See it is not easy being the one who has to cheer everyone else on..(something that I enjoy) but I kind of wear out for me by the end of the day. So anyway..Brian and I pushed the kids while running yesterday (btw the kids weigh a ton, it was much easier before Max became a bubba). Anyway, we are back on track committed to making it 21 days to keep this habit and hopefully continue on. We will be running the pig, now the only thing is will we be accomplishing a personal best.
I love my Strollerfit gals...i love how they push one another in class. I love how they come out in the snow and ice and rain...but now it is time for me to not make excuses. The same goes for my husband...yep he works at least 60 hours a week but he has at least 45 minutes to dedicate to himself to be a fitter person. So keep checking out the site...it should be an adventure.
