Work it, Girl!

Another week, another snow storm! I am not used to all of this snow. I had secretly wished for a mild winter so I could push out more miles on the road. But this is what we have so this is what I will work with!

The storm we had this week gave my town 6.5 inches of snow. It also came with high winds. That worked perfect for drafts and leaving me a spot with a little less snow to work out at. I decided to wear as many dresses as I could for this workout.




My favorite exercise is burpees! They are, well, a workout on their own. Do it!




Squats were hard to do in the snow, in a dress. But...I did 300! See my expression change. Fun stuff.




Pushups. I also planked here. These, I will admit, are NOT my favorite! That's why I do them in a dress. I try to make it more fun. It worked!

Tell me what are you doing fun?

Don't forget say YES to the dress and NO to the snow cream!

My Birthday!

This week was one I have looked forward to for a while now. My family has been blessed with new oppurtunities that we will take full advantage of. All this just in time for my birthday!


My new outfit! I love my hot Momma boots! A friend spoiled me with the outfit and another friend spoiled me with a yummy Mexican dinner!

Hubby didn't let the kids make me a cake. He offered to make a plate of broccoli for me, instead. I laughed hysterically when he said that. He sounded sarcastic but I knew he was serious. The only reason I declined was because I was getting ready to go out to eat.

In other work out news...I ran my furthest EVER this week! *11* miles! I felt great during and after the run. The bad part was I was running on the highway. I was almost hit not once but TWICE! It scared me enough to decide to find a different place to do my long runs.

Finding a new place to run took me to a local state park. It was a lot of fun to run in the woods. I even did a course there with different workout stations. It was a good workout!

On facebook today I asked what I should do in a dress today. I really wanted to swim but my swim location was closed today. So to make it up to you...I wore a wedding dress!






Look at the tail on that baby!









Then this happened! O.o

I couldn't get the dress out of the chain. My photographer (aka my 12 year old) went back to the house for scissors. I am saving the scrap from the dress I cut out for a special project at the end of the year.

Some ramblings in the wind....nothing set in stone. Beachbody coach and helping to organize Delaware's own zombie run.....hmmm we will see!!

Beyond Freezing...Then HOT!

This has been a CRAZY week! The beginning of the week was nice and warm. I was able to get a nice run in on Monday. Then Tuesday happened! It reached a low of 6°! The windchill was below 0! Schools in my area were shut down. Did that stop me? No.

A friend asked me to take care of her chickens while she was out of town. So I went in the beyond FREEZING COLD in a dress.




It was so cold that when I gave the chickens fresh water and closed the coop back up my fingers froze to the lock!

I came home to make a fruit soup. Its like a smoothie but you warm it up. It was so needed in that cold!



Once we made it through the crazy cold we were blessed with warm weather. I was so excited to get a long run in my new dress.



A few friends joined in on my craziness. We had fun and laughed through the run.



Here are some food pictures. I love food!

this was carrot apple ginger soup. I like it better without ginger, I think.

Mango salsa is a favorite! Yummy!

Snow Storm

Just three days into the new year and we are hit with a snow storm. Believe me, that will not stop my fun!
First a breakfast picture from the first day of the new year.


The smoothie was good. I made it with almond milk, blueberries and lots of spinach. It was just warm enough that day to drink it outside.



I have been running every day to train for my events this year. The forecasters predicted 2 inches of snow originally. I thought sure I can run in a dress in that. The forecasters were wrong. We were dropped with 7 inches. So we just want outside to play. I was hesitant at first.




This was the dress I wore to my senior prom.





I actually hoped the snow would ruin the dress. It didn't.




I'm hoping to pick up some more dresses this week. If you have one you would like to donate let me know. :)
