Juneathon Day 11

Daily progress on the Juneathon challenge. If you want to know more about the challenge, check out the Juneathon page.


Day 11:


Type: Swimming
Duration: 45 min
Distance: ~3/4 mile
Calories: n/a
Juneathon total: 22.28 miles (I'll just keep it the same)


While I wasn't able to sleep today in preparation for my overnight shift, Jackson and I went and swam for a bit. We've been trying to go out and swim a couple nights a week for just a bit to get him used to the water. He absolutely loves the bath water so this is just a large scale for him. 

Our very own personal pool. Wanna come swim?

It takes him a bit to get into swimming. Especially if there are other people there, he gets shy and just people watches :)


Gosh I love this kid!

Day 9:


Type: Elliptical
Duration: 30 min
Distance: 2.3 miles
Calories: 310
Juneathon total: 22.28 miles 


Doing pretty well. This week I'll be on zombie overnight shifts so my time of day for workouts will be off and the postings may come at an odd hour, but I'm still striving to get a post done! Even if I'm a day off :)


Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I'd like to see if I can get to 100 miles for this month. I think I may be able to come close so we'll see. Finding time to workout with a little guy is kinda tough, but I'm making it work!

Happy Running & working out!

World Traveler via The Kitchen

I was able to get in the kitchen this weekend and crank out some meals for this week, especially helpful since I will be working overnights. Welcome zombie shifts!


Here is what you have to look forward to for recipes to come:


Pork Fajitas
Sloppy Joe's
Pork Fried Rice
Greek-Jamaican Chicken
BBQ Chicken


Sense a bit of world travel there? I covered almost all the basic continents! Prepping things ahead of time can help so much and make it that much easier to cook a meal in little time. I'm all about time management  since my work and family life schedule are pretty crazy at times.

So here's to a week of great food! Still working the Juneathon and going strong!

Had a nice, hard run this afternoon. With my work schedule flipping to overnights this week my workout times will be a bit flopped so my posts may be a whole 12 hours off or so, but I will strive to get one out!

Happy weekend to everyone!

Juneathon -- Day 6 & Sparkles

Oops, a day late again. That's what I get for falling asleep early with Jackson :) I still completed my workout yesterday just didn't get to post the blog about it! My work hours are flip flopping so my time of day to workout is going back and forth. Looks like tonight I'll get a workout in after 10:30pm, yay?!

I got a goodie in the mail yesterday :) Hip to the new trend of headbands (new? maybe not so, but new to me) I got a Bic Band Headband Oh my gosh these are cool! They really don't slip in your hair and look pretty darn cute! This is the Aqua Sparkle band. Thanks to influence by Hanna, SR, Christy and probably a few others I decided I wanted to be part of the cool kids club. Hey, my hair gets pretty wack when I workout anyway, so why not tame it AND look cute! 

Josh said I looked like "Robin Sparkles", if any of you watch 'How I Met Your Mother' you'll get that one. And my dad said I looked like a "green power ranger" thanks dad.

Thanks Bic Bands!
