It begins!!

I got a $25 coupon for Streamfit in my December Klutchclub box and I'm starting their Beginner Bootcamp 28-day training program tomorrow!!!

I'll let you know how it goes! 

I had coffee today with a friend and it was great.  Always nice to get out and have adult time!  Then I hit the mall and did some Christmas shopping for the kiddos. :)  Happy Sunday!

Earholes

So, remember how I said the Yurbuds hurt my dainty little earholes?  Well, today on Facebook I came across a how-to video on out to insert them......DOH.  I was doing it wrong.  I don't know if that's reflects bad on me or the company in that you need a how to video for your earbuds? LOL.  Anyhow, once I put them in correctly they don't hurt no mo!  Here's the video if you are interested.




Now I can't wait to try them out on a run!

Speaking of which.....my run today was so HARD.  I had to force myself to go and once I got going I kept telling myself to give it 5 more minutes and it would get better, but it never did.  :(  I did the full 3.1 miles, but I was 1 minute and some seconds slower than last time.  I was really bummed, but I just have to tell myself that it's gonna be a slow climb up this hill.  I will get there, but maybe not as fast as I think I should.  The only thing that matters is that I keep moving.

I was looking over a half-marathon training plan tonight and noticed that it calls for running 6 days per week with only a couple of those being "long" runs.  I think I will move more towards that in order to build up the number of days a week I run.  Makes sense!  Starting out 3.1 miles will be my long run days and I will build up from there!  Duke City Half-Marathon is in 12 months!  Gotta be ready!

Awesome mail day numbah 2.

Happy Hump Day Wednesday!!  I did not run yesterday because my legs are KILLING ME from PiYo on Monday!!  Seriously, I dread going pee even because sitting down is excruciating!!  I need one of those toilet seat extenders or something.  I'm definitely running on Thursday, and then twice on the weekend to makeup for what I missed earlier in the week.

Yesterday I got my box from Klutchclub!! Yay! (If you recall my parents got me a 3-month subscription for my birfday.)  I was super excited for this box because it included Yurbuds.

There was a lot of neat stuff in there!  I calculated it to all be worth about $70.  Pretty good considering it's only $18 a month.  The Omega3 supplement is a month's worth too.  I'm anxious to see if I notice any benefits from using it.  It's a liquid instead of a pill.  It does not taste fishy, however.  It's pineapple orange flavor.  I was excited to try the Good Greens bars.  It says on the package that they have 3 servings of veggies in each one!  My plan was to eat just one and save the other 2 for another day......yea.  I ate all 3.  Fortunately they are only 50 calories each.  They are yummy too, all chocolate flavors, and gluten free.  The box had a coupon for 50% off an order from their website so I thought I'd order some because my husband hates veggies.  BUT they are $30 for a box of 12....so that's a little out of my price range.  :(  

I haven't tried the Pure Matters protein powder yet.  It's also chocolate flavor and says it is made with yellow peas....It's vegan and gluten free.  Also have not tried the hungershield yet, I'm intrigued by it though.  I was most excited to try the Yurbuds (which sell for $30!!).  

I normally use Skullcandy earbuds and I love them.  They are super comfy.  I have to use them for work (8 hours a day!) so the comfort thing is a big deal.  I tried them while working yesterday, and maybe I wasn't putting them in my ears right?  They hurt my earholes!  These are supposed to be for women/small sized but maybe my earholes are child sized or something? LOL.  Since they have the little tubey things that go into your ears it's kinda hard to figure out how to insert them.  I'll give them another shot later, and if they still hurt then I'll give them to husband.  He has big old earholes! ;)  

I was not really sure what to do with the flax meal....I looked at a few recipes last night but nothing really piqued my interest.  This morning at breakfast time I realized that I was all out of cereal, milk, oatmeal, bread, eggs so I figured we could try the flax meal as a breakfast type cereal.  I pulled up one of the recipes on the internet and made some for my kiddos.  I added brown sugar to sweeten it.  WOW.  Something strange happens when you add water to flax meal.  It becomes a bizarre gelatinous goo.  Very disturbing.  I could not bring myself to even try it (I have texture issues).  The girl child tried it and she said it was horrific.  Girl child advised me that I should throw it in the trash, but maybe it's not so bizarre when used other ways??  

Pile on the Miles  signup started yesterday!!!  Link is over there ------>

I have to catch up on my cleaning today and then work for a couple of hours this afternoon.  I am making meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner.  Sometimes you just need those comfort foods. :)  Have a good one!  (Magic Mike is on pay-per-view.....so you know what I'm doing tonight after the kids go to bed!!)

TGIFYKYMF

That stands for thank god it's Friday yipee ki-yay motherfu....mofos!

This is what I want to do all day today, Saturday Caturday and Sunday:

Sushi loves a cushy tummy to lay on.

Instead, I have to work like a mofo today and then clean house tonight for the partay tomorrow.  I also have to squeeze in 8 hours of work tomorrow somehow...fun times!  Sunday is the punkin patch and Monday is SOMEONE'S birthday. ;)  I decided that since this virtual 5k is during my birthday week that I should run it in celebration of turning 33!  Go me!  You can print yourself a bib if you like and then once you run yours you log your information and submit a picture.  I think that enters you for prizes too!  They have t-shirts you can order, etc.

Since we are talking about birfdays....I got the coolest e-mail this morning from Klutchclub!  My mom and dad got me a 3-month subscription to their health/wellness box!  I've been drooling over it since Monica over at Run,  Eat, Repeat blogged about them! So excited! Here's what was in their September box:

I will update you guys when I get my first box!!  Hope you guys have a wonderful Friday and weekend!  I'm off to bore myself to death with work!

PS- Mucinex D is the bizomb!!
