Things that mom was right on?!?!? :)

HOLY where did the weeks of January go already? I don't feel overwhelmed until I realize I lost a few weeks of "My Plan" :D I finally got in front of the camera and did a little vlog. My thoughts this week are on - are we who we hang out with? And how we surround ourselves with those people that lead us into the direction of our goals. My mom use to say this to me all the time when I was hanging out with people she didn't want me to in high school but it doesn't pain me to say she is right ;) I actually have been trying to go one step farther and make sure I have some people in my "tribe" that are where I want to be so I have someone coaches that have been where I am and know how to help me get past those sticking points we all hit. So I am back to Daily Mile and to the Treadmill to kick off the 2011 running. I WILL LIKE THIS SPORT. I AM A RUNNER. Atleast that is what I keep chanting in my head.
I did not successfully start the Cleanse I promised myself. Not gonna lie but I am intimidated with getting out of some bad habits. So I am sitting with that right now and peeling back the onion of why. I am enjoying the new juicer and the new favorite is celery, carrots and apple juice. YUM. I also ordered a Ninja Kitchen System thingy with my sister from an informercial. I can't believe is sucked me in :D but I did try that Wen Hair Care and love that so maybe this QVC type shopping comes with age. LOL!! NOT! The Ninja System is a cheaper version of a vitamix and since mine is broke and I do not want to pay $400 to replace, I am giving this a try. Maybe I will do a vlog of this stuff so you can see how fun my new toys are!
Well enjoy a few minutes of seeing I am alive although with no makeup :) and let's stay in touch!
Cheers,
Amy

AMMYYYY!!! ;-) First of all, you look GORGEOUS all the time. For realz. Second of all, I hear you- 1/2 way through January!! Dang!! And your Vitamix broke? Hmmm now I have to go look this up, this QVC thing you mention. Also I saw like 3 recipes for buffalo chicken dip--- I wanna compare to Chad's recipe that I didn't even taste that time. Hmmm.
Miss you much, can't wait to see you bestie! XOXOX
Welcome back, i've missed ya girl!! I'm with Miss KO, you're gorgeous el naturale. I agree that it is important to be apart of a fitness tribe to help keep your goals, nutrition and training in check. I believe the moment you fly solo you begin to lose that accountability you have to your tribe thus allowing your commitments to wain. Hence the reason my 1 missed run turned into a 3 week lay off!!
Have you checked out SkinnyRunners blog? (www.skinnyrunner.com) You will love her, she's sassy and funny and a 1/2 and full marathon queen! This chick races either what seems like every other week! xo
KO - I am a walking informercial these days. :) I am not sure how they keep sucking me in but I shall do a demo for you. Sadly we only see each other in cyber space these days ;)
Chelle - I love that you are always one step ahead of me! THANK YOU!! :) I love that blog and I am right there with one run turning into 3 weeks! The week after Christmas I ran 3 miles effortlessly and now it is a mental game to make it past one mile. Keep running girl - your posts keep me going too!! :D
I am working on splitting the google reader into regular and extra so I can keep up better with a handful and then when I have extra time venture into others - xoxo.
Ha, I have the Ninja and the Magic Bullet, love.
Infomercials and QVC rock :) I never order from the infomercials themselves though cause they always seem to be connected with scamy behavior. Awesome results for your husband. I am conflicted with the whole 4HB diet and not so fired up to jump on that bandwagon, but that's a whole nother blog post I need to write. :)
Oh, I so agree, who we hang out with is so important...don't know what I'd do without my online tribe. I also just picked a race to focus my running, gets me out the door! I'm working on cutting my 5k time, not sure if I'll do longer races this year or not. Good luck with yours!
