This is kinda hard

Today is a little tougher. I got in a pretty good UBWO (love that creatine pump!)and I've eaten on program. I'm trying to keep myself busy too but today Mark has been stressing me out like you wouldn't BELEIVE (I want to strangle him today!!!)I'm just trying to stay positive. Definetly having some urges to binge and relieve stress but I WILL NOT because you guys would be so dissapointed in me. I did treat myself to my one and only authorized(even hell-ish diet authorized) fast food meal, my beloved Chipotle chicken salad. And I also splurged on a DC. If thats as bad as I do after a day like today I am OK. The receptionist at the gym noticed I ahd lost more weight, so that was nice. She sees me every day so I can't believe she noticed. AHHHHHH!! I just realized what my munchies might also be linked to...I forgot to take my fatburner today!!! Egads!!! That usually supresses my appetite quite a bit. I've already had my measly nibble of almonds, I am now sipping on an extra scoop of Betagen, jsut because it tastes good. OK that is desparation!!! hehehe I need to go heat up my meal, I guess, Huh??


Contents of salad:
Romaine lettuce
Grilled chicken
Black Beans
Corn
Bell pepper
Red onion
Fresh tomato salsa

Runner's HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH!!!!!!!

I have it today for the first time ever!! I ran 4, yes thats right folks, 4 fabulous miles today AND in 41 minutes!!! I had to breathe along to the songs pumping through my ears and I'm sure people heard that but I could honestly care less. They weren't the one running 4 miles, I was!!!!Hahaha I haven't done that distance in about 2 years. I can't believe I was tempted to bag the gym today....I had to be up early to paint at my MILs house(Putting together Marks office there) and on my way to take Cooper to school I just said, Hey I'm covered in paint, but I don't care I am going to do it anyway, screw the messy house and I just did it. It felt GREAT!! I went ahead and took what I refer to as pre-emptive pain relief and betagen, So I'm feeling good. Week 2 of hell-ish diet is shaping up well, I had my oats and eggs early, now its time fro protein shake and apple. I have a big package of chicken to grill, it sounds good to me so that is good. Just knowing I have so many people rooting for me and now I have Hell Diet buddies I am on top of the world!!!! You Blends are AWESOME!~!!!!

Where do I even begin???

I guess I could start with Cades Birthday, It turned out pretty good. Hi party was small but the boys had a good time. I had planned on them painting a little pumpkin to take home but they were having so much fun playing wiffle ball and football, I could barely tear them away to eat cake and pizza. (pizza was free meal 1 for me) I did his cake and turned out really cool, better than I even expected. (I know Mari will appreciate my cake!! LOL) Its a Star wars 3 scene, they are "dueling" over a river of lava.


Phase 2 of this crazy weekend:


On friday afternoon(an hour before this party) Mark calls and says- "hey how do you feel bout making a little cash tomorrow" So I'm like "Uh, what...." Well long story short I ended up selling sno-cones out at our good friends' motocross racing park. Mark handled the kids and the baseball game all day so I could go. He was trying to make it like some "task" like I was on the Apprentice or something. Haha I raced around town(while Mark tended the birthday) to rent the machine and generator, then after the party went and got syrup and made signs, got everything ready. The track is out in the BFE but I got there about 8 and set up. The previous owners(before our friends) hadn't ever had any vendors, but its in the middle of nowhere and it was pretty hot today, so it was good. Once a month they have a statewide race day and there were about 2000 people who came out to watch. The best part is (besides the 200 bucks profit I made) Fox sports news was there doing a program about the Motocross track and they did a big interview with ME!~!!He asked me a bunch of questions and we did a little thing where they had me make him a snocone on tape and they are going to put me in the show!!! Cool, HUH???I'd been out there 5 hours or so and I'm sure I was a MESS...I hate hearing myself on tape. I'm probably standing there with a big dorky uncomfortable smile on my face, and I know I tripped over my words. Oh well It will be on Nov.19 plus 2 other times in Nov. It was cool to hear the producer working out the details of the shots and talking about how he was going to edit it to sound. Yaya I'm famous!!! ROFL!!! The only other thing I want to add about it is that I have a hard-working little 7 yr old girl!!1 SHe is a little sno-cone PRO!! I went to get her something to eat for lunch at the roach coach and when i came back she had made a sno cone and put the flavoring on it and got the money from the kid. I was so proud of her!! It was nice when we got busy a couple times She cold make the cones almost as fast as I could. She totally has initiative. She notices what needs to be done and just does it without me saying anything. I love her, shes such a peach!!!

Well I am bushed, I feel TERRIBLE that I missed my long run today- that sucks so BAD and I didn't eat all day so now I am starved, AHHHH I had such good momentum. I will be back tomorrow full on!!! I just found out my sis in law lost 25 pounds this summer so now it is ON!! I am dropping this by THANKSGIVING, NO EXCUSES!!! I have half a mind to go out and run that 4 miles right this minute. But, my other half a mind is too tired, so I'll have to make it up on monday. hehehe

Mama's got a new pair of shoes!!

Here they are!! Taaaa Daaaaa! Ok, pretty lame but I got them on SALE(40 bucks) and I think I tried about every shoe they had at Sports Authority and these ain't the pertiest but they were by far the most cushiony. I really prefer white, but I am more concerned about safety and comfort. I had goten good feedback from everyone who wore Sauconys for running, and I can see why. I can't wait to put them to the test tomorrow. I am posting here and on the Tracker because I am trying to distract myself from the delicious dinner I made in the crockpot for the fam tonight. (Chicken in cream soup topped with stuffing--OOOOOOHHHHHHH it smells good) but I dutifully ate my chicken and broccoli. Plus I am cooking with the scouts tonight, hmmm, that will be something else.
