Hi all...

The last two weeks have been insane, so I thought I'd do a general update of the highlights and I hope everyone else will do the same:

Training:

Last week I ran 11.5 miles and biked 32 miles unfortunately No situps or pushups because I could never work them into my day and since I've been working on playground plans and everything else I have been just falling into bed in the PM. This week is going great Triathlon wise, I have already run 6 miles and biked 10, I'm about to go on a 16 mile bike ride so you can bump that total up to 26. Still however, No sit ups or push ups. LOL I feel like such a challenge failure. On the bright side, I'm having a blast with my training partner we meet 2-3 times a week and run or swim so that I have some accountability. She and I have a lot in common and Considering before kids she was a true athlete and quite fast, I'm sure once she gets used to running again she will be able to help me with my speed. I did manage to run 3.2 miles at the park Sun while the kids were playing in 29 minutes. I was shocked. O and I think I may have lost a little weight, I put on my slacks last night to go to a meeting and they were loose. I refuse to get on the scales until after the holidays though because I know I'll have no motivation to eat right until after Turkey day and Christmas. I'm so bad.

Life:

The past two weeks, I've been focused on the Elementary Schools Publishing center, We have had a ton of student books come in and we are going to be the corner stone of the Authors Night in January so I've had planning meetings to attend and templates to design. Next planning meeting this Fri. Also, I've been focused on the Playground Commitee phase plan which is to be presented this Fri. I've got all the information I just have to sit down and draw out a time line and some visual plans. Which should make Fri Morning very intersting considering I have a 2nd grade play sandwiched in there somewhere. LOL Last night I had a Make A Wish Foundation Meeting, Our teen had a powderpuff game (not playing spectating) and One of the youngest is working on his first book report, so needed his hand held a bit. Thank goodness for schedules because I was able to work it all out well enough to get dinner cooked before I left. I feel so quilty if I leave for a meeting at night and don't manage to make dinner first. I know it's stupid. :)

Ok Everyone tell me what you've been up to... Brag/Whine/Scream or Just ramble.

Great idea for a general how you doin' post Sabrina. Sometimes we forget to just ask- so how are things?


I agree with Steffy and Kerstin.....you are keeping yourself extremely busy. I'm sure you are looking forward to when things slow down a bit for yourself. When is that btw? ;-)


Steffy--- you fell- AGAIN? Haven't we gone over that with you before, lol? Seriously- take it easy and hope you're feeling 'stable' again soon!


Kerstin, glad your session went well! (And by the way, I was happy to see that your lunch with SIL went well yesterday- yes, I lurk in the village!)


My last 2 weeks have been busy, tiring and confusing!


Health- have been feeling bad about neglecting 'regular' exercise, hence my post in the main folder on Monday. I'm DETERMINED to stay on the wagon now that I'm on it again!


Work- has been crazy....something is in the air, the kids are all over the place- very little quiet time in the room these days. Plus with p/t conferences re-scheduled for either before or after class it's making for a long day. I'm down to my last piece of patience with one set of parents who have asked me to reschedule their conference FIVE times now! Argh!!!!!
OK.....enough of that ;-)


Personal- this past weekend myself and my ex finally got to spend some good quality time together. He stayed the whole weekend. The thing is, I really am not sure if I want to be with him or not. Sigh. I have been looking forward to us being alone and finally getting some private time--- but then the whole time he was here I was thinking 'I wonder when he thinks it will be time to leave', lol! Yes....you could say I'm a little confused. I'm willing to give it a little more time and just see where it goes though.


WoW- that feels good to see it in writing!


Thanks Sabrina ;-)

Moderation IS Key!

Well first off I have to address hUmP day, lol! Glad to see that you're enjoying benefits other than the obvious mamma moo! (where does that name come from by the way?)


Sounds like you're doing terrifically! And what's even better is the amount of enthusiasm I can see through your post. An inspiration!


Glad to see that money worries are easing off now
