Quick Monday Updates
| February 18, 2013 | Posted by Carrie under Best Body Bootcamp, giveaway, kids |
Happy Monday everyone! A bunch of quick Monday updates to start off the week.
First – the winner of my Sportline Weighted Resistance Ball Giveaway is
Laurel! She won with her tweet:
Laurel – send me an email and I’ll get you all set up.
Second – most of this weekend was spent at my daughter’s dance competition. It was a little of a wobbly start to the weekend as she came home from rehearsal on Friday night with a strained quad muscle. My favorite KTTape to the rescue and she made it through the first day of competition. I think there were a lot of nerves at play that were making things worse and day two was much better.
Can you see the tape on her quad?
I just love watching her perform.
Third- in the running department, things are going great. I’ve slowly built my mileage up to a comfortable and regular 3-4 mile distance. I’m doing a 2:1 run:walk and having absolutely no pain. Some days I push the pace on the run part, some days I take it easy and I’m having a great time 2-3 times a week. Yay!
Fourth – Best Body Bootcamp – Now in the final stretch, today begins week 7. Tina has set up Round 5 of Bootcamp to start April 1st. I’m so sad that I have to wait a whole month. Seriously having the motivation of needing to get in my activity for Bootcamp is what gets my butt moving every day for my workout. With the 4 weeks off, I think that I’m going to repeat a few of my favorites.
Fifth- In my spare time, I’ve been participating in Katy’s 28-Day Blog Challenge. I’ve done a few social media updating projects and hopefully this week will get to my next project of installing a new theme on my blog. It’s fun to make some updates and I finally found a new theme that I like.
Seventh – I have a list sitting next to my computer of blog topics. I think about things that I want to write about, yet they’re all posts that will take a little bit of research and effort in writing. I’ll get to them, so many thoughts running around in my head.
Eighth – Of course things are super busy around here, so I haven’t had much time to post. Isn’t that the story of everyone’s lives? But, right now we’re planning a little family getaway next month to go to see the Dodgers at their Spring Training facility. MMT has been dying to do this since they moved to Arizona for spring training. Yay!!
Happy Monday everyone! Does anyone else keep a brainstorming-like list of blog topics? Do you ever get to them?
What a fun weekend! Your daughter looks like a natural, even from these photos. So glad running is going well. I just got in my boot camp workout this morning!

I haven’t had time to go through the Phase 4 plan yet. Will do tonight. Today is a running day, so I’ve been procrastinating.
I’m definitely going to be repeating some of my favorite bootcamp workouts for the month where it’s not running. I’ve really been loving them, especially the Phase 3 ones!

Your daughter looks like a great dancer! Tina’s workouts have been great this round, and I cannot wait for the next. Have a fun trip to watch the Dodgers at Spring Training!

Thank you. So excited for the baseball trip.
Congrats to Laurel – I see her name as winner of lots of giveaways! I am glad your daughter is doing so well and obviously really enjoying it all! So sweet!
She does love it. Which makes the 5AM wake up calls and the arguments over the morning all worth it.
Your daughter looks gorgeous on stage! I’m glad you were able to save the day w/ the tape.

Thank you. I’m glad it didn’t seem to be anything serious. She came home from the weekend still dancing and begged to go to ballet tonight, so I think she’s good.
What a beautiful daughter!!! Lots going on with you!!! Fun stuff too! I keep a list on my phone when I think of things to write but I don’t always get to it!

Thank you. I’m glad I’m not the only one who has a great list that I can’t get to.
Your daughter looks so cute! I have no experience in the dance department:) Yes, lots of topics in my head, but not a lot of research time either. Glad running is going well!!

Thanks! I finally got my act together and signed up for Grandma Lil’s Birthday party miles – that’s on the agenda for Wednesday.
I had the best of intentions to participate in 28DBC! I’m still going to do it! I have the same topic list on my ipad. They will be published! Ever feel like life is insanely busy? Or is it my lack of motivation to do anything? I still blame it on the weather.
