Fell off the sugar detox wagon hit my head and rolled down a hill over some fresh dog poo.... In other words I ate one bad thing and let it turn my entire day into a sugar fest! You been down that well I already screwed up so...... I may as well? The difference will be I will be right back on it right now not tomorrow which always turns into tomorrow again for me and so on.
I did go to the gym today:) rainy and not so awesome outside so I went to the gym. I went to motherhood and bought a belly band thingy that should help with the pain/soreness I had the other day from my run/walk. I did 4 miles on the bike and 1 on the treadmill just walking. I still feel a little sore. The calorie burn I got at the gym is..... Well.... It sucks (compared to the runs i was doing per-pregnancy) but at least I burned some I guess. I'm that person that has these set expectations of what I "should" do and how long and how many calories ill burn or I might as well just not. If I run it needs to be at least a 5k or over......like a mile doesn't burn 100 calories or so?!? I used to think I must workout an hour or hell what's the point? There's a point to all extra movement which my handy dandy fitbit has helped me realize that what people have been saying for ever (that I always thought yeah that'll do a whole lot) about parking far out and stairs not elevator ect it all adds up to
more calories burned. It's all worth it:)

Hard day
I WANT SOME CRAPPY FOOD! Lol no, no I don't I'm
Actually pretty proud I haven't caved. I usually would have said screw it a long time ago especially since I have Reese's eggs in my house! But the temptation isn't so overwhelming like I usually feel it is when I try to restrict myself from things! Day two down no sugar or processed white carb crap foods :) I usually go straight for the crackers when I get home but I'm doing ok without crackers!
On my 100 mile challenge.... Hmmmm! I ran/walked 3.5 miles yesterday and with this 17 week bump I was in pain last night and today! Like hurt felt so sore I called my ob to make sure it was the round ligament pain I thought it was-it is. Ouchhhh! Did not have this problem with either of my first two..... Possibly because I didn't get off my ass for either pregnancy! But at 250 and pregnant I was just like meh gimmie some ice cream;) anyway I'm not quitting this challenge tho! I'm going to have to get a belt thingy and ill be back out there getting in my hundred! Today taking a rest day although, I still got in my 4.55 miles, according to my fitbit. Which is 10920 steps so far today.
Have a good evening :) are y'all doing any challenges? Have you tried to step away from
Sugar?

Sugar detox and 100 mile April
So I started the sugar detox challenge today with Laura from mommy run fast! I did amazingly well considering all the Easter candy temptation left over from yesterday including my favvvvvv Reese's eggs! I think there's cocaine in them which make them so addictive! Haven't had any processed white carby things that I usually go straight for after work, today I had a slice of cheese and piece of roast beef and a few grapes.
I also started another challenge to get 100 miles in for the month if April:) this challenge brought to anyone who wants by runningwithtongs Im off to a good start!
Both of these challenges are something I really needed. I'm really struggling to keep exercising and stop eating everything in sight with this pregnancy being my go to reasoning for it. Got to get myself together :)

I'm my second trimester:) woohoo! IT'S A BOY!! Don't feel so sick and have energy back definite WOO HOO for that! Trying to get my running mojo back!
I ordered some new running shoes today to help with some cuteness motivation! I took nycrunningmama's advice and got the saucing virtatas! Can't wait to try them on! Nothing better than new shoes when you can't fit into clothes lol!
I cannot for the life of me decide which to sign up for the San Francisco half or the 5k.......... We will be there on vacation and I want to run just can't decide which one ill be about....28 weeks pregnant at that point.... Huh I hadn't realized that til just now..... I think I just decided the 5k! :)
Still in a touch of shock that I'm having another little one.....:) as my dad would point out "you know what causes that right" lol
So here's a pic of the shoes!

Was having a great day..... Until...
So today I found out I'm having a baby boy!:)) so happy about that!
Got to leave work early plus plus!
Went to the grocery store where I was reduced to tears by this stupid sample lady! She has like 10 things you can try so I asked if I could try this and that.... Whatever they were.... And she says two things one if which was "oh hand you had lunch?" And "I guess this will be lunch" before I could answer. Then proceeds to say"I've never had a woman ask for more than one sample I mean the men do but never a woman!" If looks could kill! That bitch would be dead as a doornail! I said that was just plain rude and didn't take the last sample and just walked off and she says something trying to back pedal cuz she knew I was livid! Then tries to tell me oh no I was giving you a compliment!" I turned around and said " A COMPLIMENT ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
I walked back over and asked her name I was so pissed and it pissed me off even more that I could not stop the tears as I walked away! Her name tag was cover by a scarf wonder why! I moved it and walked on where I ran smack into a manager who I told how rude she was with tears running down my face! Embarrassing anyway he said he'd take care of it yeah I'm sure....... Some people suck. I hate that I gave that bitch the power to make me that angry:(.
Came home with three little baby boy presents.... One for each of my children and one for mark. Let them open them all together to find out what the baby's sex is! It was great! I was really thinking it was a girl..... Wrongo! Lol the Chinese birth charts said boy so I started thinking differently about a week ago :)
Have any name suggestions? I like Jett but it was vetoed:( Have you let anyone get to you with their stupid words?

Running Survey
Got this survey from Mommy run fast.... looks like a good post so I thought I answer them too!
1. How did you get into running?
I have always wanted to be a runner. I have also always been obese (seriously always- I had boobs in my kindergarden picture at school!), well until may of 2009, I had gastric bypass on may 5, 2009. That began my weight loss of course. I dont really recall exactly when I started to run. I started with the couch to 5k program. I quit a few times I let that "I can do this" get into my head. In the end my desire to do it overruled and I did! In I think March of 2011 I did my first half marathon here in Waco and if you've run a half in waco you probably know about the crazyyyyy hills involved! Well I didnt when I signed up for this bearathon-OH MY!! I did it in 3:07:04 slow as molases but I finished and I was proud and barely able to walk beacuse I had definitly not trained like I should have oopsie!! I was DETERMINED for them not to pick me up from the course as it closes after 4 hours- I was so scared that was going to happen! At that race and the following races I did I realized runners are awesome people!
2.#1 on the ole bucket list.
Sprint triathlon.... This should be interesting since I cant swim and im a touch scared to! This is outside my comfort zone for sure but I will do it! Wont be this year like Id planned because Im pregnant and well if I drown I dont want to take an innocent child down with me- lol just jokin I was only scared about the swim until I realized how many cyclist get hit by cars!!!!!! I have a guy in my spin class that got hit on a race and it broke him to pieces! I hadnt been on a bike in mmm aproximitly forever when i got a beach bike and you talk about death grip when I started out on it! lol Made my husband and son go in the house while I tried it out in case I made a complete ass of myself and fell or something but I didnt. I couldnt feel my hands but I didnt fall over! So um yea a triathlon should be a challenge a huge challenge for me but I will!! Ive finally got I cant mostly out of my head!
3.Favorite race?
Ive done 5 half marathons. They were all great- because I finished!! The heels to hills(which had no hills lol) was great because two complete stranges helped push me thru the finish and I pr'd at that race because of them, It was great! I did two in florida while I was visiting my dad who has since passed away due to heart failure- also a reason to run and keep running. They were both great! One was right in the beach and over couple bridges which I loved! (Of coures theres a downside to that one- there was no water at the finish- wth? lol)
4. What motivates you to keep going?
My dads health condition was/is a big factor. I dont want my kids to go thru that and I dont want to go thru it! I dont want diabetes or heart failure so bad I need a transplant. Ive got to work this heart Ive got- its important! Im far from perfect, I dont eat well all the time and I give in to the "I dont wanna's" sometmes but Im trying and Ill keep going.
5. What is one habit you wish you could break?
Thinking if I dont do over 3 miles whats the point, or if I dont do and hour of cardio whats the point! I know in my brain its crazy but I think this way and it laughable its so goofy but its me! I got a fitbit and this helps. I try to get my steps in but Ive got to get this silliness out of my head! A 2 mile run is still a run and totally worth the effort!
6. If you could have any job in the world what would it be?
Stuck on this one! I like my job but there has to be a way cooler job that Id love to go to somewhere..... Im just not totally sure what it is..... have to get back about this one:)
7. Whats your favorite piece of gear?
I love this fit bit! I love seeing how many calories I burn for the day- oneday I"ll have a garmin I'm just so indecisive that I cant choose which one I need/ want! And my brooks running shoes(all of them lol)
8.Whats your go to pre reace meal?
oatmeal and a banana:)
9. Do you take supplements?
prenatal vitamins b12 tabs and calcium
10. What do you love about running?
Its my me time. I love the way I feel when Im done! I love that Im finally here that Im a runner! I love that people in my life said I couldnt and they can eat their words now:) oh getting off track there I guess. I also love new running shoes! ANY excuse for new shoes I am down with!!!
11. What is your next big race?
Gulf Coast Interstate Relay!!!! Cant wait! Its 12 member team from New Orleans, LA to Pensacola, FL! You can bike it or run it- My teams running it! If youve never done a relay you should totally check it out!!! You know how the nonrunners in your life are kind of like eyeroll shes talking about that running exertion thing again? Well a relay is an entire couple days where you can talk about and get advice and others views on anything running! With no eyerolls! Seriously the whole relay thing ROCKS!
Thanks for reading -have a great weekend:)
I'll be doing a 5k unexpectely which makes my day! My mom told me about the race AND volunteered to watch the kids so I can do it!!! Cant pass that up!
Are you racing this weekend? Have you done a relay? Did you love it?
