I CAN DO THAT and I WILL!

#1. So I decided today that on Monday, after the snow we're supposed to get tomorrow and Thursday(its May by the way), I am going to cancel my contract parking, conveniently located just one block from work, and start biking to work.  HELLS YES its going to be hard biking to work and home everyday - thats 16 hilly miles each day but will I love it?  I think so.  Will it be just another avenue during the day for me to get outside, yep!  Will it save me almost $1000 dollars between June and October?  YEP!!  SIGN ME UP!  I think it will take me about the same amount of time (and in some cases less time) to bike to work than it takes me to drive.   I'm pretty dang excited!  I still have to bring the boys to daycare and pick them up so the bike trailer is going to be their transportation.  It should be an interesting change and transition but I can do it because i'm a freaking mother and I can do anything!  ROAR!

#2. I decided yesterday that my ass, inner thighs and saddlebags needed some work.  I found this website www.prevention.com/fitness/strength-training/love-your-lower-body. I started it doing yesterday and HOLY CATS are my ass, inner thighs and saddlebags sore!  I even had a hard time on my run today - its amazing how much running doesn't touch those important areas :)  My abs need some work too - grr.

#3.  I started walking Wilson every morning before I bring the boys to daycare.  What a lovely experience to walk the dog without any kids!  Its so relaxing, quiet, we don't take up the whole sidewalk and we both love it!  Thursday we will be a full week into our morning walks and I am more productive than ever at work.  I hope these walks continue with the biking into work but we'll have to play that by ear.  My real plan was to start by walking him them get into running in the morning but really, thats not likely to happen.

#4.  I'm totally only on bag 34 of my 40 bags in 40 days.  I have eleven days left.  AHH!!  I need to get things out of here but I'm so out of ideas!   I have three computers that still need to go and a mattress and box spring.  St. Paul's clean up day is May 11th so I'm hoping I can take more stuff there. 

#5.  Dinner this week.  YAY to me, by the way, for planning my meals on Sunday and going shopping to get everything I need.  Since I cleaned my house and we don't have anything to eat since I donated it or threw it away I know exactly what we have in the house and I had to go buy the things we needed.  I'm trying to not to go Target now until Saturday or Sunday but we'll see how that goes.

Monday - Grilled pizza with spinach, broccoli, red pepper flakes, goat cheese and garlic and strawberries for a side. yum - it was good.  

Tuesday - Sloppy Joes and corn on the side.

Wednesday - Ranch Pork chops (one of my favorites because its so easy and good) and roasted green beans and the rest of the strawberries on the side.

Thursday - ugh, I have softball on Thursday at 6 and its supposed to be 40's and rainy.  I hope they cancel it.  Quick dinner of Taco's.  Raw carrots for a side.

Friday - Lemon Pepper Chicken and roasted broccoli on the side.

Two little boys and a mom have allergies really bad.  We're hoping to get some relief with the cooler weather coming in tomorrow but the warm temps sure have been great!!!
