Biggest Loser Season Finale
I was really hoping one of the girls would win, so I wasn't disappointed but truthfully Tara is who was at the top of my list but I am so, so, so proud of Helen. What an amazing woman! Jerry did great too. Can you believe him?
I don't know if how they lose the weight is always healthy. I don't know if you are learning life long skills by working out for 4 months straight at a gym with a personal trainer then go home and have to figure out how to balance everyday life with losing weight and eating right, BUT what they did was amazing and they are definitely more healthy than when they showed up on the ranch.
You know what ticked me off? TARA LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME! I am so hitting the kettle bells and miles.

All in All
No running today. Too much charity fundraising bunco stuff to do and actually finding someone to watch my kids too! Luckily I have wonderful friends that I don't even have to pay to take them out to dinner. Of course they might not be my friends anymore after taking my kids to dinner.
Tomorrow is the Healthy Kids 1 mile run in the park then baseball. I think Hollywood is going to go for a plane ride with his Uncle B tomorrow while Jackson and I finish up last minute bunco stuff.
Sunday is Mothers day and since My mamma, Aunts and Gma will be in Carson City and I'll be here I will be attending brunch at our favorite morning breakfast establishment The "IC", with my in-laws then going on a hike with my boys afterwards (when they are no longer hungry). So no run but a great hike will be good exercise.
Photo Friday. Blondy's class did a "Mommy Makeover" today. They gave us a massage, oatmeal facial, rubbed our hands with lotion, put cucumbers on our eyes.

Me
Two runs and a modified kettlebell class in 24 hours. I'm feeling like me again. Darn cold that showed up today won't keep me down. Going back out there tomorrow.

On Track
Okie dokie. My speed and endurance suck. I had to stop several times during the hill workout last night to catch my breath but I was out there. I only did 3 out of the 4 repeats... but I was out there. I was dead last... but I was out there. I've done two trail runs 3-4 miles each this week too. I'm planning on hitting the track tonight with FF. Can't find my watch BUT I'LL BE OUT THERE! 10K program will be starting in 3 weeks and I need to be in shape! Already thinking of marathon training so I'm starting to do Kettlebell class with KOR. So if I'm not home... look for me out running because
I'LL BE OUT THERE!
I'LL BE OUT THERE!

Out of Sight
I haven't been keeping up with my blog responsibilities. The hubby has been home a lot and I've been so busy with the kids class stuff that not only is there little room to blog, there is little room to run either. I'm looking forward to getting back on that horse. Ran 7 today, 3 with Cindi and 4 with Shelly and Turbo. Turbo is not the yellow lab he appears to be, he's more like a moose with a tutu. It's amazing how that dog can get air and spin around like a top!
Sad news that I'm afraid will further disrupt my running regimen when I really really really need it to curb the stress is that my Uncle Larry was sent home on Hospice yesterday. The cancer has grown too much and his liver is bleeding. The hospice nurses for my Uncle James, for Chris's Gpa Derril and for BFF's Gpa were all amazing. I had the pleasure of teaching the renewal CPR for our local Hospice nursing group and got to know some of them pretty well. I am so thankful there are wonderful people out there who help the patients and families with the hardest and sometimes most painful times of their lives.
Running has been sporadic at best. two or three days of consistency then 4 or 5 off the wagon. It's not working for me. I desperately need a training program to get me back on track. I guess I'm waiting another month but in the mean time I hope to re-start kettlebells through KOR. 6 months would put me at the middle of November which will be two weeks or so before CIM. Hopefully my body will respond positively and with my core built up and the training program with Dave I take some time off of my Marathon!
Eating... that's the hard part. I've been trying to do one whole foods meal a day. Mostly salad, with a variety of fruits and veggies. It only works about 4 days a week but heading in the right direction. I'm also trying to eat more for breakfast and lunch and less for dinner and that seems to be working for me.
This weekend is our first BIG fundraiser. Bunco for Boobs here in Chico. Good Neighbor and I will be in full force but that includes lots of chocolate. I'll have to keep myself busy. MIL is also putting together a yard sale for me at her friend Jewels house. That is always a big stash towards my walk. What great friends and family I have!
