On Your Marks, Get Set...

GO!!! Yep, Yep!!! It's that time again!!!

Last year I joined the lovely Ladies of Race & Relax in my first Race/Run/Walk event. I've always wanted to run since after I had my first son back in 2000. Well, three other babies later and four years after that so that my body can recover (yes, recover), I finally did it and loved it!

I have two races coming up. One in September and one in November. The one in September is very special for me because I'm doing it along side my Hubby!!! That's right, he's on like popcorn and in there like swimwear. We began our personal training Monday of this week and our group training yesterday. I find that one of the best things for couples to do to keep their marriage fun is to do fun things together. Set aside time for fun with your lover and watch your friendship blossom. Yes, there will be challenges along the way and some bumps and bruises but if you stick with it all of those things will get kicked out the door so you both can do the damn thang!

In the up coming weeks we will be hitting the gym, training with our group, a personal trainer and joining our group in a few boot camp classes. We've also shifted our eating to more energy giving foods and increased our water. The kids are also getting in to it and by next year they should be ready for their first run.

The second race I'll be doing with the Ladies of Race & Relax, details on that one will come soon.

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
