Minimalist Running

I don't like New Years resolutions. I am the type of person to make goals all year round and work hard to achieve them. I don't need a new year to bring on change. However, this year I decided that one of my goals was to run 100 miles total. This is huge for me because I am not a runner. I have never been a runner. I thought this would be a good way to challenge myself.

I knew I was going to have to get new running shoes at some point because my old Nikes just were not making the cut anymore. I was hesitant to buy shoes while pregnant because I had heard your feet can change and didn't want to spend money on shoes that wouldn't end up fitting in the long run.

I finally bit the bullet and bought shoes. I decided on the New Balance 'Minimus 20' Running Shoe. It has 4mm of drop from the heel to toe and I thought this would be the perfect shoe to begin the minimalist running.

It is going to be a interesting journey!

Chubby Hubby Week 4 Update

This past Thursday brought Bo to week 4 in The Chubby Hubby Contest.

Bo lost another 6 pounds and 2 inches off his waist. He is down to 280 pounds for a total of 25 pounds lost and 6 inches off the waist! Way to go Bo!  His goal is to be down a total of 30 pounds at next weeks final weigh-in.  Here are some pictures of his progress! This is just proof of what hard work, good eating, exercise, and determination can get you in a month.  I am so proud of him!

Weekend Recap

We had an amazing weekend with the boys!  Friday we had Holden's swim lesson. He is loving the water it still amazes me how comfortable he is in the pool.  This is his 5th week swimming.

Saturday Bo and I did the workout DANNY as a team. It was very fun but also a great workout. It was my first time ever doing box jumps. I got pregnant about a month or so after starting Cross Fit so I didn't do a lot jumping. I am so proud of myself for over coming my box jump intimidation. We completed 2 2/3 rounds.

Saturday night the big boys had their friend Nicholas spend the night. They have never had a friend spend the night here before!!! They played video games, watched movies, and ran around being loud and acting like boys it was awesome! I hope that happens more often!!!

Sunday we went to the renaissance festival and met up with my parents. The boys have been saving their allowance money for months. They bought wands, swords, pewter dragons, and gold coins. We ate turkey legs, crepes, pickles, garlic, pretzels, steak and chocolate. It was such a fun day. Holden really enjoyed being a big boy in his stroller.  The weather was incredible all weekend.

Chubby Hubby

Bo made it into the Chubby Hubby contest!

His first weigh in was last Thursday 3/1 and he will continue to weigh in every Thursday for the remainder of the month.

After the final weigh in on March 29th another round voting will take place to determine the winner.

I know he will do so well. He has a ton of heart and once he sets his mind to something there is no stopping him.

Good luck Bo! I love you.
