I stayed on track with my exercise and food. I think tracking in the paper journal helps SO MUCH. I got my new tracker in the mail and I had to laugh when I opened up the cover.<br />

I'm considering adding in there - "and don't schtoop your maid for 15 years secretly." Regardless of Mr. Schwarzenegger's input this is a really good diet journal! The cover is discreet and it has pages enough for 200+ days of tracking. </div>

Another of my goals for January and 2013 is to stay off Facebook. I have struggled with this previously, and I finally found a computer program that helps! It's called <a href="http://getcoldturkey.com/" target="_blank">Cold Turkey</a> and it blocks websites you want to avoid. Unlike other software that does this, it's very hard to bypass so it actually works lol. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another goal that I am working on is reading 52 books in 2013. I read Soul Stalker, by Laura Kreitzer last week and it was very good. It is a science fiction/fantasy/paranormal type book about "angels" so if that's not your thing then you probably would not like it. It's very well written. Not too much smut (sometimes I wish it had more smut.....), very classy books. This week I am working on Abyss, the next book in that series. I'm almost done with it so I might actually start another this week.</div>

Today I cleaned some but more importantly I hung out on the couch and read on my book for a few hours! Then I went to the gym. It was a great day! For dinner we had chicken burgers with tzatziki sauce and those were great! They were loosely based on <a href="http://bonappetitbeantown.com/2011/06/17/greek-chicken-burgers-with-tzatziki-sauce/" target="_blank">THIS</a> recipe. <br />

I have all the apps on my phone, iPad etc....but I just don't use them. It just seems much easier to keep the paper journal on my desk. <br />

So far so good!! I even ordered another for when this one runs out. I'm down 2 pounds this week so far. I skipped the gym last night and did the Spartan WOD workout with hubby.....modified because I CANNOT do 400 lunges. It was a good workout though! But I am looking forward to going back to the gym tonight! </div>

Monica over at <a href="http://runeatrepeat.com/2013/01/04/going-southwhos-running-with-me/#comment-189206" target="_blank">Run, Eat, Repeat </a>was talking about the RNR New Orleans Marathon this morning. Funny because just yesterday I was daydreaming about our roadtrip last June that took us through Nola. I am jonesing to go back!! IN A MAJOR WAY.</div>

If the RNR Nola was not next month I would totally pick that as my half for this year, but I'm looking for a half in the fall, so maybe Portland.....In the meantime I'll just be sitting over here daydreaming....and planning my next roadtrip. (and bombarding hubby with text messages about said roadtrip!) :)<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another of my resolutions for this year that I failed to tell you guys about is my goal to read 52 books this year! A book a week! I will recap my book for the first week of January on Monday and tell you about the book I'll be starting for the coming week. This week I'm reading Book 2 of the Timeless series by Laura Kreitzer: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8528702-soul-stalker" target="_blank">Soul Stalker</a>. Good book! I will finish it up on Sunday!</div>

I skipped the gym yesterday because I knew I couldn't do it; I'll be back in there tonight though! I am not lacking in motivation for going to the gym, but I am lacking in motivation for running and eating right! I'm still "run shy" since that run in November that sucked!! :( I really need to get back on it. I need to come up with a plan of attack. I think for starters I'll just focus on doing 1.5 miles on the treadmill every time I go to the gym. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are the goals for January 2013:</div>
<div>
1. Go to the gym at least 5 times a week. (This is going to be tough because hubby will be gone for 2 weeks mid January).</div>
<div>
2. Stay off Facebook!</div>
<div>
3. Run at least 30 miles.</div>
<div>
4. Eat "clean." </div>
<div>
5. Be more organized.</div>
<div>

The buy in is only $10 and so far the pot is up to $1980!!! All you have to do for a cut of the pot is loose 4% of your weight in 4 weeks. I already bought in! Will you??<br />

Do you make resolutions? Last year I told myself I would get down to my goal weight and lead a healthier lifestyle in 2012. Well, while I did not get to my goal weight (I am pretty sure I'm the exact same weight as last December!) I AM leading a healthier lifestyle. I started running in May of this year and have done four 5ks since then. </div>

Today I will be working and then taking Milo to the vet. He needs one more set of shots before we can get him fixed. He'll be 7 months in January and I'm afraid he's gonna start spraying. :/ I'm going to the gym tomorrow with a friend. I'm gonna run on the treadmill and maybe do some stationary biking! Yay for getting back to running. It's been TOO long. Happy Friday!</div>

Here's mid-morning Mean Green snack juice! I had to substitute zucchini for kale because I couldn't find any kale last night and I forgot to get spinach! It made almost double what's in the cup, and I still have lunch juice, snack juice and dinner juice to go! This is crazy!</div>

I've been meaning to watch that documentary<a href="http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/" target="_blank"> Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead</a> for months now, and I finally did tonight. WOW. WOW. WOW. Truly amazing stuff. I even teared up a couple of times. :) In fact, I'm making a grocery list as we speak. I've been wanting to do a juice fast for a while so watching this was perfect timing. I am only doing a 3 to 5-day fast because of the holiday coming up. I'm excited though. The only thing that's worrying me really is the cost of the produce.....<br />

Whelp....day 2 went down the tubes around 3:00 p.m. :( I could not stop snacking!! I did do my workout last night though, with some major pushing from hubby. Not sure how I feel about it. It seemed too simple. I will try day 2 and then decide if I want to continue with it. Milo was not terribly impressed with it either. During the foam-rolling portion he was intrigued....but quickly lost interest. Smart kitty!<div>

I didn't have time to do my workout until around 7 p.m. I was looking forward to it all day! I fed the kids and got them squared away and then went and locked myself in my bedroom with the iPad. I pulled up the <a href="https://www.streamfit.com/training-plans" target="_blank">Streamfit </a>site and.....NADA. I got an error message. So I went and got my laptop and had the same problem. Major bummer. So then I tried 2 other sites that I had coupons for. No dice. Finally I downloaded the Women's Health Personal Trainer app....not impressed. I used it, but I'll be deleting it soon. Totally not worth the $14 a month or whatever it is. Thank goodness for free trials!!<br />
<br />
This morning's breakfast was the last of my Nature Box granola :( with some milk heated up. Super yummy!! Tonight I'm going to try again with the Streamfit site, as of this morning it seems to be working again! <br />
<br />
Hubby had been telling me about the "mustache man" for a while, and I finally checked out his blog last night. Holy crap!! Dude is awesome! <a href="http://mustachemantraining.com/" target="_blank">Check him out!</a><br />

When I was in Alabama my brother made some awesome pancakes out of only banana and eggs!! These are probably old news, but I had never heard of them. He and his wife are doing paleo, and this is one of their go-to breakfasts/snacks. I was skeptical before I tried them, but they are good! I made them this morning since today is officially day one of Project Mudder. All you do is mash one banana and then mix it with two eggs. I decided to add cinnamon to the batter......but I was really tired.....Here's a tip: Pepper in your pancakes is not half bad!</div>

However, in the car on the way to the airport hubby and I talked and he gave me the push I needed to say what the hell!!!! So.....in June 2013 hubby and I will be doing:<br />

I've got a lot of work ahead of me to get ready, but I'm up for it! I need to lose weight and get fit enough to manage the obstacles. I'm trying to put together a "work-out schedule" for myself right now. I also need to focus HARDCORE on eating clean because I know it will be a lot easier if I drop a good bit of weight. So, there it is. I said it. </div>

I was supposed to be hosting a jewelry part at my house today, but the snow put a kabosh on that. For some reason my daughter is acting like she was raised by wolves so maybe it's for the best? Anyhow, that gives me time to post pictures from my trip for you guys!! More after the jump!</div>

When hubby and I were dating and lived in the area one of our favorite things to do was go to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Spring_Park_(Huntsville,_Alabama)" target="_blank">Big Spring Park</a> and feed the ducks and geese.

At some point we went to a Greek restaurant (OMG. best gyro EVER in the history of gyros!!!). I was so excited to check out their pastries (I might have a problem.). We got some kataifi. I've been wanting to try them since I saw them over on <a href="http://www.katheats.com/" target="_blank">KERF</a>!! It was good, but they are pretty big; so, trying to eat a whole one by yourself is not the best idea I've ever had. Sugar.coma.</div>

Sorry I didn't post while I was gone, but there just was not time! I had to work while on vacation, so that left very little time for anything else except hanging out with family! We had a BLAST and I have tons of pictures to share with you, but right now I have to get to work. I will do a big post later today about the trip!

Nothing much going on over this way. Just trying to get all the laundry done and get the house in order. Me and the kiddos are leaving on Thursday and flying out to Alabama for my brother's wedding reception! I haven't seen my family since June so it will be great to see them! I will still be posting while there, and I plan on taking my running gear so I can get a couple of runs in too. We will only be there a week. I'll also be working while there :/ Working from home is so cool....<br />
<br />
I took the kids to the library yesterday to return their books and get new ones (they have not fully embraced e-books as much as I have lol). While we were there I grabbed The Hobbit. I had been toying with the idea of reading it to them, but did not want to buy it on my Nook. I've never read any of Tolkien's books before. I did watch the LOTR movies, I might have missed the last one, not sure. Anyhow, I remember my Nana reading Charlotte's Web to me when I was little. We would read a chapter before school; so, I thought this would be a great idea! Wrong. lol. My eight-year-old daughter wanted nothing to do with it. She was like C-YA!! My four-year-old son sat with me while I read it out loud, but he played games on my phone the entire time lol. Oh well. I guess I'll be reading it alone. Who knows, maybe I'll read the LOTR books next! <br />

I've been up since 2 a.m. for some stupid reason! At about 3 a.m. I gave up trying to go back to sleep and got up, made coffee and started working a bit. If I can get all my catch-up work done before anyone else gets up it will be like a REAL weekend! :) <br />
<br />
Today is the 1st day of the advent calendars!!! Do any of you do these? When I was little we did them occasionally, mainly the chocolate candy variety. I've done them with my kiddos for as long as I can remember, but we always do some sort of toy variety, Playmobil, Polly Pocket, etc... Last year I bought goodies from the dollar store and wrapped each individually (NUTSO!!). This year we are doing Lego advent for little man and girly type stuff for girl child. I got smart this year and bought manila envelopes though! So, she's got a basket of 24 manila envelopes to open lol. BORING. I'll post pics of their loot later. ;) I'm hoping to get in a run today if I'm not too wiped out by my early wakeup. <br />

The challenge is to run 13 races in 2013. I figured I might as well do it since it fits so nicely with my blog name lol. Even if I only do virtual 5ks I'm still doing it!! :) Now to make my list. <br />

I did lose 4 pounds, which is great! However, someone lost 8 pounds....5% of their body weight. I really wanted that $40. lol. I really a big fat cheeseburger to drown my sorrows in too, but I settled for a turkey sub. I did have chocolate though. A LOT of chocolate.<br />
<br />
I picked up our Christmas cards yesterday. I know you're dying to see them yes? After I ordered them I realized that husband will probably hate them. I think that's an added bonus! ;) <br />

Hubby has been out of town all week and gets home tonight so I took this morning off work and cleaned up the house. I even made banana bread!! Can you please tell me how Milo can manage to look astonishingly cute while messing up my trash pile?? (Don't judge my trash pile! I have 2 <strike>monsters</strike> kids.)<br />

Also, he's a creeper. I was shaving my legs in the shower and noticed 2 little orange eyes peeking in at me. It's okay though, he's a cute creeper. <br />

I'm hoping to convince hubby that we should go out for dinner tonight. One of the local restaurants is doing a Cajun boil and I haven't had crawfish since we were in Louisiana this summer! <br />

I didn't mention it before but I'm participating in a weight loss competition locally. I had to pay $40 to participate and whoever loses the largest percentage each week gets $40 and then the overall winner gets $160. I needed some motivation!! Anyhow so I'm trying to keep it to liquids today lol to help with the weigh in. My tummy hates me right now too so liquids are probably better anyhow. For breakfast I had a Shakeology chocolate shake. I had gotten 3 samples of this in my last<a href="http://www.klutchclub.com/" target="_blank"> klutchclub</a> box. It's good. I like it, doesn't have as much of an aftertaste as other protein shakes. Here's what came in that box. (Hint - hemp hearts are AWESOME.)<br />

I had to run to Wal-Mart (the horror!!!) today while the kids were in school instead of running because I had to pick up the stuff for their advent calendars!! Boy child got a Lego calendar and girl child is getting makeups and other girly type things. When I got home I was starving so I busted out my juicer and made lunch!! I drank 1 carrot, 1 apple and 1 pear. Yum!! </div>

I was really tired. Then I started thinking about a breakfast burrito......So, I thought if I want one of those I better run or else my entire day of calories is blown!! The plan was to pick up the burrito after dropping off daughter's class pet back at school (It didn't die!!!), but I drove right by Durango Joes and thought...yea I don't NEED a burrito. I had to run to the store real quick and get some gloves though and ear warmy band thing because as I said I was COLD. I also got some cottage cheese and apple cider tea. YUMMMY. <br />

I grabbed them because they were just $1 and I thought they might be good to keep me from snacking while working. These suckers taste just like eggnog!! Awesome!! I had one and I felt like I just had dessert. <br />
<br />
When I got back home I headed out for my run immediately before I lost motivation. I started the 5k to 10k training program. It was 10 minutes of jogging alternating with 3 minute tempo runs.....definitely different for me. It was hard. I was going to try and do a virtual 10k in January, but I think that might be too soon! <br />

I read it while I was in high school and I LOVED it. Rabidly loved it. I reread it a million times and made notes in the margins, etc. I tried to reread it recently and the grammar/writing style drove me up the wall. I could not get past the first few pages. :( In high school I remember embracing the stream of conscious writing in it......but I guess if you proof read 8 hours a day as your job then it's harder to embrace it. I read quite a few of his other novels and liked them a lot also (back in the day). <br />

I remember standing in the book aisle in Wal-Mart looking for a new book to read, when a woman also looking suggested I read Interview with a Vampire. I can still remember the way those books smelled. For me, it was my generation's Twilight except for not as candy ass ;). I tried to re-read this series a few years ago and I couldn't stomach the flowery writing and seriousness of it all. :/ I have read other books by Anne Rice since with no problem. In fact, I am contemplating reading her book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wolf-Gift-Anne-Rice/dp/0307595110/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354000659&sr=1-1&keywords=anne+rice+wolf" target="_blank">The Wolf Gift.</a><br />

A lot of tongue-in-cheek humor. This series is a more recent find, as in within the last couple of years. (Google - Eric Northman. You're welcome.)<br />

6. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lara-World-Hetar-Bertrice-Small/dp/0373776381/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354000729&sr=1-1&keywords=lara+world+of+hetar" target="_blank">Lara</a> - Bertrice Small - This is book one of the World of Hetar series. I really did not want to put this one on the list. Why? Because it has <b>smutty</b> parts. Because the author also writes for Harlequin. However, these books have hung with me since I read them (about a year ago). They were good. They were not my usual fare, outer space, fairies, etc...but for some reason I want to re-read them. I keep wanting to say that they are stuck in my craw, but that just sounds horrifying. Side note- When I was in high school my aunt gave me a paper grocery bag full of Harlequin romance novels. I remember sitting beside my window and reading that entire bag of books within a couple of weeks. <br />
<br />
Lastly, what am I reading now, right this very second? I am reading the newest book in the Dulcie O'Neil series, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Wonderland-Paranormal-Romance-Fantasy-ebook/dp/B00A8PD37E/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354001052&sr=1-1&keywords=dulcie+oneil+series" target="_blank">Malice in Wonderland.</a> It's good, although it hasn't kept me hanging on like the previous books in the series. It's another paranormal series - although with the humor I appreciate. The author, H.P. Mallory, has also written another series (Jolie Wilkin series) that is equally as entertaining and somewhat reminiscent of the World of Hetar series. <br />
