GFTW 9: March is Gonna be Divine!
I know it's still technically February, but March is virtually here! With it comes a new month, Hawaii trip in 23 days, a new calendar, A family trip to Hawaii, Daylight Savings (yes!), Hawaii in three weeks, the beginning of the end of Winter, sunnier days, Hawaii in 23 days, a vacation to Hawaii, oh! and my first Olympic Distance Tri of the season in HAWAII. I think I'm just a wee bit excited for Hawaii March to come ;-)
But it's not quite here yet. I'm still needing long sleeve get ups for my outdoor runs (but I'm not throwin' me no pity party! I know all you mid/east coasters are c-o-l-d!). Here's a shot of me in my fav running top, w/my posse this morning for a 10k race we did to support the DH and his *race*. I haven't ran with my lil' ones for a while now, and it brought me back to when they were just lil' babes. awww..so sweet;-). Well they're still sweet, just a butt load bit heavier now, and schleppin' em' uphill was harder than I realized!
And speakin' of realizations, here are my Goals for the Week!:
Mom: plan a playdate for my lil' girl. Most of my closer friends all have lil' boys, and I realized I haven't made much effort for Annabel to get some girltime. And she's now asking me to play with certain friends from school, so I wanna make it happen.
Athlete: I'm back from sickhood and ready to rumble. Hit my workouts this week (btw, hunkering down and not working out for 2 days worked!)
Health: Instead of my sugar coffee, just stick with coffee and milk. For dessert, have one jello pudding sans the ice cream (this is where I'm hoping to shave a few 100 calories each day leading up to the tri)
Wife: Make a date nite. Sickness threw that plan out the window last week, so I'm makin' it happen this week.
Grandaughter: Make a card/call her this week. (she's in a nursing home back East and I really try and send her some of my kids art each week.
As always, I write these goals on a bookmark I keep in my organizer and attempt to read it each morning as I plan my day. I'd love, love, love to hear how you're going about planning your week. And woo-hoo! Here's to March baby!

Love the pic of you and your boys in the stroller. That's awesome that you ran a 10K with them...wow!
Great goals for the week! Let's see, some of mine are to get to the pool 3 times instead of 2, get my long 9miler run done, take my boys to the park(it's supposed to be 59 degrees this week...yay!),and I'd also like to plan a date night. It's been too long!
I love that picture of you and your gorgeous children:)
I want to go to Hawaii and will have to wait a year or two. I know that you will have so much fun with your family:) Make sure to take lots of pictures to post in your blog. It will make us feel better knowing that someone is enjoying warm weather and sunshine:)
Awesome job on your run with the twins:) You are going to get so strong by running with the stroller!! Have a great week Anne Marie:)
Okay, I'm tackling "specific" eating goals for the week, starting with tomorrow. I'm trying to be very specific, as you directed. Wish me well, I tend to be kind of a random eater once I get really hungry!
Have a nice week! Thanks for everything :) .
I posted a bit about the magic 50 on my blog, in case anyone else was wondering too, feel free to ask more though if I haven't cleared it up :)
I've been meaning to sort out a date night with Mike but we never seem to have the money at the moment, I need a good job!
The most important thing I suppose.
The picture of you 4 yr olds in the stroller is priceless...and totally funny!
By the way that is the cutest running shirt I have ever seen...and your are STUNNING!
Date nights ROCK!
