I hope you all had a great long weekend!!!

After some April showers the sun came out this weekend and it was absolutely beautiful! Although we had a really busy weekend, GMan and I enjoyed our time together and made time for some much needed relaxation. We had planned to go to mis papas house but unfortunately it didn’t work out.

I wasn’t as fortunate as Lindsay and had to hit the stores up on Saturday to get some much needed groceries. It was crazzzzy busy! I swear people freak out and panic just because the stores are closed for a day. When I was in highschool I worked at a grocery store and Easter weekend was always busier than Christmas time. I still don’t get it.  By the way, go and check out the awesome giveaway Lindsay has on right now!!

This past week I have been having a hard time getting motivated to get out for a run…. a very hard time.
Friday, I set my alarm to get up early and go and guess what… it never happened. SOMEBODY (cough, GMan) set the time wrong and the alarm never ended up going off. I was happy for the little sleep in though, so I didn’t mind.
Saturday I set the alarm for 6:55am to get up and go… I got up, looked out the window and it was raining, AGAIN. I just didn’t want to go and felt so sick of the crap weather. So I didn’t. I climbed back into bed for 5 more minutes, got up and got a good workout in at home. I knew if I didn’t then I would be kicking myself later in the day. The sun ended up coming out later on and it was a gorgeous day!

I didn’t get out running on Sunday either. I had planned to but there was lots to get done and I just wasn’t overly excited to get out and run… so guess what.. I didn’t. I’m blaming my lack of motivation on the weather.

I DID however get out for a run today and am I ever glad! I ran 14.01km in 1:12… it felt so good!!

Maybe the feeling I had after my run was a little “motivational reminder” of why I love to run and why I need to continue running…. because it totally sucks starting from scratch and trying to re-train. As I was running, I was wondering if I need to change it up a bit for some motivation. Maybe run with my ipod a few times and see if that helps?! Any suggestions?

Since I have been slacking on the running front, I have been trying to fuel my body with goods like this:

although goodness like this has also snuck in there:

Yes, you know.. those round colorful mini-eggs in there. My weakness…. they jumped in the cart, I swear. *cough, cough*

I did buy some kale (for the first time ever) because I want to try and make some kale chips… that’s healthy, right?!

I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that my handsome husband is a photographer and not to mention a talented one! Right now he is in the process of revamping his website for Arana Photography.

He’s the owner but I’m the boss.. isn’t that how it works, ladies?! :) Totally kidding!!  I won’t go into detail because you can read all about it here!  But you should go take a look for yourself and you will see I’m not being biased just because I’m his wife :) And of course, call us when you need a photographer!!!!

Enjoy the rest of your Monday!
