Sponsored: Under Armour What's Beautiful Challenge #1 completed..a Tough Mudder recap

We are home from our Tough Mudder run, and all I can say is "hell yes"

IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!

Yes, the obstacles were tough. Yes we ran through miles and miles of mud.
Yes, I loved every minute of this event....because I was pushing myself past my comfort zone.

Case in point: I am not "friendly" with heights and there were more than a couple high obstacles that had me feeling unsure...the thoughts of just going halfway up passed through my head on more than one occasion, but I pushed the negative out, told myself to suck it up, and got through it!
We traveled in luxury this time around...one tricked out RV that our friends mom had just purchased and graciously let us use...it was awesome...
 

                                                                                                    Hubby and I were outfitted in Under Armour, literally from head to toe

Post Mudder/ElectroShock Therapy Obstacle

Best Obstacles:

Rings

15 foot drop into water

Pretty much all of them

Worst Obstacles:

Anything tall

Electro Shock Therapy...it literally knocked me on my ass... 

it was like it tensed every muscle in my body and my legs just crumbled...and I crawled the rest of the way out of the mud...

The weather was perfect, partly sunny, not too hot, a breeze to cool us off..we couldn't of asked for a better day....

We are already planning next years team race and I can't wait

Since this knocked out my Under Armour What's Beautiful Challenge #1, I am moving onto the next challenge...

PR my 10K at the Memorial Run this weekend in my hometown. Last year I ran a 48.49....I am going for under 45.00

What a day....

Didn't wake up this morning for a workout because I do not remember my alarm ever going off, or I subconsciously silenced it.
Luckily, my internal alarm clock still got my up in plenty of time to get the boys and myself ready in plenty of time.
Breakfast was a scramble with chicken sausage...a little paleo muffin on the side

Since I missed my workout this a.m., I got on in over lunch or I runched (ran over lunch)....
easy, quick 3 miles in beautiful 78 degree weather...

What is that you say? where are my pictures of my runch, my mapmyrun time...
oh yeah, I didn't get a picture after I ran because as I went to shut off my mapmyrun app I noticed I had no phone...
IT HAD FALLEN OUT OF MY BELT somewhere along my route....
I like to think it was because I was running so fast......
We all know that is not the case...
So luckily a resident where I work has a golf cart, and I hopped in and went in search for my phone (lord knows if I didn't have it the world would stop moving, time would stand still, and all hell would break loose)
I FOUND IT!!! Splattered across the sidewalk but not far from my work....thank goodness and darnit...I really need a new phone and I am almost due for one but i am holding out till USCellular gets the iphone this year...maybe, I really like my Samsung and the big screen...and I am off topic...
Finally got to eat my lunch later that afternoon...I was busy and wasn't really hungry after the run.

Salad with spicy mustard, avocado and orange roughy...it was a weird combo but really good

And now I am settling in after picking the boys up from their grandmas house.  We had our ladies golf league meeting tonight...we start next Wednesday...cannot wait!!

Question
Do you golf?  I pretend like I do and I  have fun doing it...

Wednesday workout for you and baseball begins

Yesterday morning I needed a quick workout that incorporated strength and cardio.  I didn't want anything too strenuous since I am "taking it easy" in preparation for our Tough Mudder race this weekend.   

I cannot wait, the wives and I were chatting about it last night and it got me all excited.... 

Breakfast was another delicious scramble

 It was our monthly "Lunch Bunch" at work  so we visited Divots...it was fantastic, I had the Southwest Chicken Salad and ate dang near every last bite (except for the breadstick, I wasn't feeling that)

 Snack was an apple with some Maranatha Almond Butter

 After work we had a busy night planned because it was Bubba's first night of baseball practice. 

 Of course Big E had to play at the park and try out all the slides

 A little batting practice...

Question:
1. Have you signed up to win a cardigan from Yogi Clothing

2. Have you joined my Under Armour Challenge Team

If you said yes, then pat yourself on the back
If you said no, then do it now...

"Spank" and a weekend recap

Let's see, the last time I blogged I was discussing:

My What's Beautiful with Under Armour campaign
A Yogi Clothing Giveaway

Then the weekend came and things got so busy, I did not even have time to open my laptop and jot down a few things so forewarning you, this post could get long!

Friday mornings workout was brutal and I was so sore for two days, I haven't felt that for quite some time.

Friday night immediately after work 25 ladies and myself headed to "Spank" The Fifty Shades Parody....OMG< it was hilarious, raunchy, and a great ladies night out!

 This gorgeous lady(college roomate) moved back to the Burg and I am so excited!  Or, scared, she has some good stories on me and could use them as leverage. 

While I was busy with Girls Night Out, Kyle was busy getting this completed at home

WORKOUT MATS FOR THE WORKOUT AREA!!! I have since rearranged and cleaned but you get the idea.  

Saturday was spent outside planting flowers, planting the garden, attending some graduation parties, and Kyle and I had a movie night.  We watched Taken 2.  It. Was. Awesome! Of course, the minute we sit down to watch it, Kyle gets a fire call and has to leave(but I patiently waited and the fire didn't take long to put out)

Sunday, we all know, was Mother's Day, and I am truly truly blessed to be the mommy to two handsome, smart, loving boys.  Breakfast in bed, flowers, cards, you name it, I got it.  All homemade, and I could not of asked, wished, or hoped for more.  

I get to wake up to these faces....:)

So there you have it, my weekend in a nutshell....and get things ready for the Tough Mudder this weekend.  I can't believe it is that time already.  I am getting kind of nervous/excited/anxious!  

P.S. Worse part of gardening...waiting for the veggies to grow...I love being able to walk to the garden and grab a tomato, handful of lettuce, and broccoli.

Fashionista?

A co-worker called me a fashionista the other day….and I politely declined that title because I am in no way a fashionista…

I am kind of a “go with what you feel like” kind of gal, which rarely includes skirts, panty hose, or turtlenecks…to name a few things…

I like flowy tops, flowy dresses, and things that are comfortable…

Which is why I was so stoked when Maria from YogiClothing asked if I would like to review some of their clothing. I have loved posting clothing items from their line under my Yoga Pinterest board. They also have a great Pinterest board and Instagram account... check them out! 

I was given the opportunity to pick out two things form their online site. 

I chose this pretty dress and comfy cardigan

The dress came at a perfect time as we were heading to a spring wedding and I was in dire need of something new to wear.  I loved everything about this dress.  The cut, the fit, the flowy fabric, and then print selections.  I got so many compliments on the dress and how unique it was. 

The Cardigan was just as amazing, I wish I would of asked for a medium because it did run a little large on me, but nonetheless, it was so comfy. This cardigan is something I can wear to work, to church, to the gym,, or just around home. 

I was so happy with both of my choices and love the clothing line.  I am very grateful to Maria at YogiClothing for the opportunity to review these pieces. 

And since YogiClothing is so awesome, they want to give to one of my lucky readers their very own cardigan like the one I am sporting here.

Track and Field Day

Another great workout this morning at the rec center

 Under Armour capris and shirt, polarFT40 watch, and reebok shoes

Breakfast was an egg scramble with Paleo Blueberry Muffins (recipe to come)

 Loving this coffee

 and this trail mix I put together, pistachios, almonds, and Brookfield Dark Chocolate Blueberries(all from Costco)

On Tuesday we had Bubba's track and field day....the weather was beautiful and the kids had such a great time...

 Big E just relaxing and cheering on Bubba

 Tug of War

It was so much fun watching him and his classmates going through all the events. 

Bryson came out of the day with a goal: he wants to get better at jump roping so we are going to work on it....
I have my goals/challenges with Under Armour, he has his...we will both work on them together:)

It's Friday tomorrow, any big plans for the weekend?

A group of us girls are going to "SPANK" the Musical...a parody of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" book series.  I cannot wait to see how this is done.
