December is months away. Months. Like 7 months. But, I'm starting to think about December 3rd now. Planning and preparations are in the early stages. Planning and prep work are key in life, I think. (But, I also love a good big white board, post its, and sharpies.) With eating well, prep work is key.  It's really a must have. If I don't plan my week out with what we will eat, I could overspend at the grocery store or end up eating out because it will get to 4:30 and I'll think "There's nothing to eat.  I forgot to defrost the chicken.  Ok, let's just go out." Planning my week of meals has been key for me the past 3 years.  I've gotten into a pretty good system too.  We tend to have a couple meals that are standard and then once (maybe twice, if I have the energy) I'll try out a new recipe.  Others, we'll just rotate through ones that have become staple.  We do like Friday night pizza and movie and Taco Tuesday (or some var...

Hitting goals

I'm excited about today.  I will have a short Q&A on my favorite blog, Running for Cookies, site later today about losing 100+ pounds.  Can't wait to read it and to read everyone else's stories!

10k & an easy meal idea

I completed my very first 10k today. And to boot…here in Kenya. Kenya is for runners. And because of that, it completely baffles me that I just ran a 10k here!  What?!?! And, I decided to run it last night. Yea, the night before. Nuts. Oh and push the kids in the stroller.  That's 2 kids.  Plus a heavy book bag. What!?  50 pounds easy. Up an down hills. Hello arm workout.  Trying to keep that stroller in line really worked my arms.  Moms and dads that push their kids in races are TOUGH.  They have strength, friends.  That was no joke. I was totally encouraged though by everyone around me.  I had so many people come up beside me and run with me and ask about the kids and ask "how in the world are you doing this?" I'm tough.  :) But really, so many people blessed my socks off during the race - speaking encouragement and I heard a lot of "go, mama!"  One woman was so lovely to me that she came running up to me...
