They can't all be good days

I've been sitting here trying to figure out what to blog about without being a complete downer. Today is just one of those days.

I'm tired.

I woke up with a headache.

I feel like I look old.

And tired.

I feel fat.

And ugly.

Work is stressful.

I haven't run today.

Yep, one of those days.

Do guys have those days? Other than the obvious work stress, of course. Some days I wish I was a guy. Some days. But not most days.

I did get one smile out of the day when I looked down at my littlest bestie holding my hand as we walked into the grocery store this morning. Just looking at her makes me smile. How could it not?

Then the store was out of avocados. Figures. Seriously though, what kind of grocery store runs out of avocados?!?

Are you depressed yet?

Then tonight I saw this...



That pretty much says it all. I'll let you know how it goes!

    I had a pretty crappy day too. Must be something in the water. Here's to a better day tomorrow!

    My crappy day was Wednesday - ATM didn't spit out my money, Mega-hormonal headache and then I found out that my sister had lost her pregnancy. Sometimes a good cry helps too. Followed by a run.

    It's the crappy ones that makes us appreciate the good ones right? Just like workouts! :-)

    Saturday was my crappy day. I never did get my run in. I hope you did. You are so thin and beautiful it's hard to imagine you ever thinking otherwise. And seriously? Out of avocados? Seriously? Wish we were closer and could have commiserated together.

Carpet Burn On My Butt (and a giveaway)

After two lame, pathetic, lackluster weeks of running, I woke up excited to run yesterday. And today, I wore my running clothes all morning in anticipation of my nap time run today. Even in spite of sore glutes and tired quads from getting in some P90X Core Synergistics last night, I couldn't wait to get moving on Millie. I am a planner. Today I had a plan to get my run in while my girls slept, and my day was organized accordingly. I am also a creature of habit. The first thing I do when I roll out of bed every single day is make my bed and my girls' beds. If I do something else first, it throws off the entire morning. I am a creature of habit when it comes to my running routines as well. There are a few things that differ depending on whether I am running on Millie or outside, whether my girls are asleep or not, and whether or not they are joining me in the jogger. Yet, no matter when, where, how far or with whom I run, some things are always the same. My hair goes into a pony

I wasn't sure going in...

Yep, I'm checking in. Why? Because I did something completely out of my comfort zone that I wanted to share with you. Last week I went to a place near Salt Lake called Dexa Body, where I got a DEXA Scan. For those unfamiliar with what that is, I asked Google to help us out:  "Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry  ( DXA , previously  DEXA ) is a means of measuring  bone mineral density  (BMD). Two  X-ray  beams, with different  energy levels , are aimed at the patient's  bones . When  soft tissue   absorption is subtracted out, the  bone mineral density  (BMD) can be determined from the absorption of each beam by bone. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the most widely used and most thoroughly studied bone density measurement technology." Since that is pretty medical sounding, here's my take. A DEXA Scan is a tool to measure your total body composition. It specifically breaks down the regional composition of your lean and fat tissue. It gives a fat distribution

Social Media: Some good, a lot of bad, and way too much ugly

There are a lot of good things that come from social media. We can connect with people we have lost touch with. We can unite as a group (runners!!) with a comment interest. We can promote a good cause. Sadly though, what social media does best is makes us feel bad about ourselves and makes us feel negatively towards others. This isn't just my opinion, although I can unquestionably support the truth behind this based on my own experience. I have spent way too much time feeling bad about myself as a result of comparing myself to others based on their Instagram or Facebook versions of themselves. And there are several people I have started feeling negatively about or have become completely annoyed with because of their IG and FB posts. It isn't just me though. There are actual studies that can back me up on the negative impact social media can have. I have read dozens of articles reviewing many different studies that show the overwhelmingly negative (vs. positive) effec
