Oh - in case you are wondering. I did get out the other day. I didn't quite run, but I got a brisk walk going for about 30 mins. Hey! Better than nothing, right?! This weekend hubby had to work and I took the girls Fri and Sat to a local farm event. We walked and walked all day long and saw some pretty cool stuff (not real exercise I know)!
Let's just say - I think I could live on a farm. Yep, that's right, I would love to live on a farm, with animals, a barn, a huge garden, a simple life. Hubby and I talk about how cool it would be to have a small goat farm and make cheese (first we'd have to learn a LOT). A wine vineyard would be cool, but too much money to get into.
Here are some pics from our farm trip:

I'm going to get my adidas on, load up the girls in the double stroller, leash up my dog who is begging for some exercise anyway....it's only 85 here today, so I have no excuse!

Not doing so hot
Ok, this blog was created with the intent of holding me accountable to my goal of doing another triathlon! Let's just say I'm not doing so hot in the triathlon goal arena....
Notice the gap in posts. It's because I felt guilty for not doing anything to further my goal! How sad is that!? I couldn't even come on here, to my new little blog, that few people read, to say that:
- I haven't exercised at all. Unless you count chasing a 3 and 2 year old around the house.
- I ate a half pan of brownies yesterday - but I left one last bite, so I didn't eat them all!
- I drank like I was back in college all weekend (that's rare for me these days since I'm always worried Sophie will have a seizure and I'll be drunk)! I just felt like I needed to - and no, I'm not an alcoholic!
- My treadmill has underwear hanging all over it (thanks to my 2 year old) and piles of folded laundry that need to be put away. I told you I use it as a laundry basket!
- That I've been totally out of breath all week from doing the lamest things - running my 2 yr old to the potty, playing hide n seek, refilling my coffee. Sad.
What's it gonna take for me to get my butt in gear! I know I can do it. I need to do it. I can feel my body begging me to do it. I'm just in a funky state of mind right now, something I'm not used to. I usually have so much control over my emotions, my situation, but I'm feeling a bit helpless right now. Frustrating! Probably something a good run could cure......see, I even know what would help me! Let's see if I do it. I'll report back tomorrow. If I don't, you'll know I probably didn't do it.

awww, the beach just has a way
We had a great time at the beach. It was cold, but we didn't mind since we were escaping 100+ temps in AZ! The beach just has a way of totally relaxing me. Everytime we go back to CA, a part of me misses living there, but then I spend more than 24 hours there and I'm reminded of why we left.
Sorry I haven't posted in so long. Things have been a little crazy around here, and our $$$ problems are weighing on me pretty heavy. I know God has truly blessed me though, and I wouldn't change a thing (although eliminating a few thousand dollars in medical bills for my beauty below would be nice). So I'll just try and remember the sound of the waves, the smell of that salty air that is so terrible for curly hair (notice no pics of me), and the fun sounds of my girls building a sand castle and splashing in the waves. My stresses are already disappearing......
Here is my amazing Sophie running into the water with no regard for the cold water temps or the waves.....
Anyone remember standing next to your mom, just waiting for the water to cover up your feet? This brought back a lot of memories, and looking back at the pictures almost brings tears to my eyes that I'm now doing that with my oldest daughter. Crazy. 
She could play in the sand allllll day long. To be 3 again.
My beautiful Kylie. She's happy as long as mommy is right next to her.
They tried to do this to me, but I was a party pooper and said, "no way, bury your dad"!!
Watching the surfers from the peir.
I love these 3 people more than anyone else in the world!!
