This was posted on the wall of the YMCA in Las Vegas where I was visiting and had the honor of watching my nephew and his basketball team take 3rd overall for the season! YAY Griffin!! Good job buddy, and HaPpY BiRtHdAy!!! We loved being there with you guys and swimming in your beautiful new pool!
I thought I ought to take a picture for the blog since worry is something I do all too often and all too well!
I worry about injury, I worry about not being able to run... or finish this race!
I worry about everything... running related or not! And it's really a bad thing, I need to get a grip and do like Nike says "Just Do It!" Or don't, whatever!
The only thing worse than not reaching your goal is not having one!
(Or worrying your hair 50 shades of Grey!) ;)
So I just need to have the goal and stop worrying and fearing it... holding myself back!
SO anyhoooooo.... I just got back from a 2 week vaca out in Las Vegas and Southern California.
Visiting family and friends, and taking the kids to set foot in Disneyland and the Ocean for the first time!
I think we enjoyed the ocean more! :)
I am very pleased with myself because even though I was on vacation and certainly allowed myself to cut loose a little bit on the 'eating right and training' thing... I didn't gain a single pound back!
I also did my fair share of juicing and even made it out for a run or two!
Albeit, one of the runs was on the beach trying to fly a kite with my 3 kiddos... but hey, it counts!
Have you tried to run in sand? Not so easy!
While in Vegas, I picked up this Ninja blender at Wal Mart for just under a hundred. My mom's blender needed upgrading so I just got it for her and I got to use it while I was there! I introduced her to the green monster (kale, coconut water, pineapple, ice) concoction that's supposed to cure all that ails you and she actually liked it! Or at least she pretended to and sucked more than one down with me! My 2 year old daughter loves them too, and she's my picky eater... so juicing is about the only way I can get her greens and veggies in!
As a review on the Ninja... I loved the multiple blades inside up and down, makes a lot of sense! And love that they come out for easy more thorough cleansing! It didn't create as smooth of a juice as my Vitamix does, but hey, at a quarter of the price... I'd say it's a pretty good investment! I was impressed!
P.S. It made a real good frozen Margarita too! ;)
So the suitcases are already unpacked and the laundry already done, not bad for my first 24 hours home!
Usually the suitcase will sit there for weeks! Tomorrow, I'm off to the grocery store to get my juicing produce and hope to squeeze in a good run before the hubs goes back to work!
It was a great, much needed trip! But it's good to be in our own beds again, and we're looking forward to getting back into our routines!
