Confessions of a Monday Morning...

Did you have a good weekend?
Whaaaaaaaaaaat, it's still going?  I know, isn't that so great! 
We love an extra day off, having dad home.

I am painting closet doors today and intend to go for a long run on this glorious day!
Matt spent the morning fixing his bike tire and he's finally heading out on a ride.


Well, today I bring you my Monday confessional...

- I eat SO much on Sundays!  Do you?  What is that?  Maybe it's the relaxing, the sitting, the resting... my mouth sure doesn't seem to rest on Sunday's!  I totally overdo it on Sunday's... and I'm not talking, oh I ate a cookie, I'm talking I ate like 8 cookies!  Not so bad, but I also ate 4 rolls, a large Charleston chew, cinnamon bears, a little personal éclair pie!  Shall I go on or do you get the idea?

- Generally speaking I eat pretty good.  I really try to get my fruits and veggies in.  I try to get good protein and eat breads and crackers etc pretty sparingly.  Don't let that fool you though!  I've always been fine treating myself to sugar everyday!  I really don't think I could survive without refined sugar!  Like all things, there must be moderation.  I just need some everyday!  Yesterday I guess I just needed more!  Like all of us I continually try to do better.  I think if I fueled my body better I'd see results that I want.

- I wouldn't feel so guilty about a day of indulging if I'd gotten my long run in on Saturday, but that is my next confession...  I didn't run Saturday... and I don't run on Sunday's.  No long run!

- I had a photo shoot in the morning on Saturday and one in the late afternoon.  I had a photo session due for a client and that is what I should've been inside doing.  Buuuuut instead I accepted the invitation to go golfing with Shawn and Molly!  Don't tell!

We had such a great time!  Syd and Q babysat for us.  It was so nice outside and these two are always a good time.


jazz hands! 





I'm not so good at golfing, never do it... it was a fabulous afternoon of laughs and trying!  I'm totally inconsistent, have great respect for good golfers... it's tough!  I'd love to get better of course!  I'd love to do this with my babe as we get old and wrinkly... and now too!

- I stayed up until 2 am watching New Girl on Netflix!  I laughed so hard!  I am loving that show!

- There are certain times of the day when I'm caught jamming all by myself.  Dancing in front of the mirror like nobody's business.  What am I listening to?  Lorde!!!  I love her!  This album (The Love Club) is fabulous.  She has some great lyrics, very creative and poetic.  Plus, some of these songs jam!  I can't get enough!
 


- Last week in this post I was trash talking only running three miles... Hypocrite that I am, totally had a day last week where that was all I ran!  Yes, I confess to being a trash talker.  You can read about why in my running log.

- Speaking of running... confession... pretty proud of this temp run from last week... running 3 miles right at a 7 pace... getting me to where I want to be!


There you have it!  I feel much better now!

Motivate me!  What have you been up to this past week?  Which workout or run was your best?
