Good Morning!
Wow last day of the weekend! It always goes so fast. It's long run day! I have a month before my 5k and 6 weeks before my 10k! Run run run.
I have been busy as can be, but I love it! Busy means new opportunities to meet awesome people. This coming week looks as busy as last week. So I find it important to set some goals for myself in order to keep motivated.
Goal 1. run 10 les this week
Goal 2. get half through my training for work
Goal 3. make 3 new recipes for my article
goal 4. Spend some quality time with Mike
It 's not much of a list but it does motivate me. Anything over this is a bonus.

Good Morning Happy Gorgeous People!
Wow, it's Thursday already! How did that happen? This week seems like such a blur! But today is farmers market day! I love the farmers market, and all those yummy veggies! The farmers market could not have come at a better time, my article is due on Saturday and I have nothing in mind for a recipe, but I am always inspired by produce, but hey, who isn't?
It's a wonderful crisp day here in the mountains, it would be a shame not to take advantage of it, so it's a run and biking into town for errands day! Usually I would pick one or the other but it seems like a waste to be in a car. Okay it's really because I hate getting gas and the car is almost empty.
It's usually yoga class on Thursdays, but I have over booked my time today and something had to sacrificed. I have also given up cleaning the master bathroom, It as a tough call, but hey that's why I am the woman of the house.
With the mayhem of the day, there needs to be a reward for diligent attention to responsibilities and my sacrifices. What's a girl to do? Bath Bombs!
Bath Bombs
1 cup baking soda
1 cup citric acid, (found in most health food stores)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup oil (like the chocolate scrub, what you have on hand)
4-6 drops of scented oil of your choice (I like vanilla, it drives the honey nuts!)
cupcake molds and cups
Mix ingredient together until it's a crumby dough. Pack in the cups and molds let dry for 24 hours and pop one of those babies in your next bath. Yummy! This and your chocolate scrub, you'll be your own dessert!
Have an awsome possum day!

Good morning!
Happy morning to you all! Wow what a amazing morning! Let's get moving! I am is such a fantastic mood today! Being chemical free works for me. ( Dr. Seussed it up there.) The first couple of days with out OTC meds was hard. I had a headache for a few days. This might have been no caffeine, but I made it through and feeling fine as wine. ( Without wine.)
I know that working out and eating right can be really hard. So I always treat myself with a little something when I have reached my weekly goal. Yesterday was SHOES! I love heels, I found a great pair at a cute little store for $6!
I don't always buy shoes. My spouse refuses to move all his stuff out of the closet to make room for all the shoes I want, sheesh! Sometimes it's just a new nail polish,book, flower for my hair. It's just something that makes me feel pretty.
Pampering ourselves is a must, I tend to take care of others until I just freak out from the pressure, I am just learning I need to take a little time for me. Even if it's just to take a bath and read a bit. Just do it to recharge your batteries.
I believe if you can't put it in your body, don't put it on your body! Want a yummy treat for your skin? This is my favorite pampering treat.
Chocolate body scrub:
1/2 cup of sugar (not powder)
1/4 cup of oil (I use olive oil, but grape seed, almond, even canola will work)
2 T of cocoa powder.
Mix all the ingredients together, put goop in air tight container, this will keep for a month! Scrub a dub dub! What a way to treat yourself!
I am off for a run. Have an amazing blessed day!

Happy Tuesday morning! What are your plans for this week? I am in a creative mood, and since I have no artistic talent, I will cook. New recipes! Wonder what I will come up with? Any suggestions?
This weeks is very active, I have meetings, luncheons,yoga class, town meetings, training, and a deadline for my article. Also Farmers market! I am not complaining, I realize I am very luck to have such an active life, but I think this week calls for some serious exercising for energy. Time to run my little bunny butt off!
