Hello there lovely people!

Last Sunday we had the best Father's Day ever! Our family braved the humidity and possible rain for a family fun filled day at Schlitterbahn Water Parks in Kansas City.
Schlitterbahn has several locations through out Texas and only one in Kansas City. With tons of water slides, lazy rivers and an awesome wave pool, I can see why we were there for over 8, yes 8 hours! Thankfully they allow outdoor food and drinks so we weren't spending an arm and a leg for lunch. They also have free life jackets and tubes for all of their guests. I was extremely happy that they also had double tubes and some with bottoms so little Italy could sit comfortably. That put my mind at ease!

As you may know Father's Day is something that my husband doesn't really care to celebrate, which is fine. But let me tell you this.... he had a BLAST and was so happy we went! We all were :)

Here are a few photos from our Father's Day at Schlitterbanh!

Ready for a day of fun!

Hello there lovely people!

Day 5 has come to a wrap and I am feeling great! My husband complimented me this evening( he has seen me at my worst) and it made me feel great about myself. Again I was lacking in the sleep department because some of my kids decided they wanted to party like rock stars all night! They woke me up at 4:30 this morning and again at 6:30! Yea it was going to be a long day for sure.

So here is my Day 5!

Workouts:
I started out with my mile run and 3x10 dead lifts (15lb each hand) and 3x10 straight leg raises each side. Surprisingly my legs were not sore today! I figured running 3 miles yesterday would have them aching lol.

Hello there lovely people!
DAY 4 IS A WRAP!! Today was such a loooonnnggg day! I am fortunate to be a #momsquad ambassador for iFamilykc with is a local family magazine here in Kansas City. Today we were at the Just For Her Event meeting tons of people and spreading our name like wildfire! It was a lot of fun :). I was up late this morning so I didn't get to run outside before. Plus I didn't want to rush trying to get ready and not look like who shot John.

My legs and arms are still really sore and after today's workout, I'm sure they will be EVEN MORE SORE tomorrow!

So here is my Day 4 recap!

Workouts:
I use my Nike Run Club app every time I run. Today as I was preparing for my mile, I log into the app and up pops a challenge..... ""join the millions of others taking the Just Do It Sunday 5k challenge". Foolishly I thought.. hmp ok?! After mile one I thought "I got this, no big deal". but by mile 2, I was contemplating stopping my run. Just then (this may sound super cheesy) but Kevin Hart's voice came on and told me to keep going! So I did! I love that they have people that motivate you on the app... it feels good to hear those voices instead of the ones in your head saying you can't do it. So today's run was a little over 3 miles. 3.10 to be exact.

 Dinner- Salad with chicken, cheese and homemade salsa. sweet potato on the side.

Goals:
Drink all 3 liters a day
Stretch more
Run faster

I am so ready for bed right now and trying to muscle energy for tomorrow! Do you use MyFitnessPal or any Nike apps? What are your favorites? Let me know in the comments below!

Hello there lovely people! It is day 3 and my legs are definitely feeling the "burn" after these past couple days. Walking around has become a chore in it's own but I love it lol!

Today I felt pumped and ready to go! I had some amazing, much needed rest this Sabbath and It gave me the extra energy I needed. Today was a little hard on my stomach because we go to church from 1-3. So, we leave the house around 12 and that makes lunch time a little shaky. It's always easy to stop at Chick- Fil- A on the way to church, and even though it was tempting... I didn't!

So here is Day 3 in a nutshell!

Workouts:
Another mile today except it was on the treadmill. I observe the Sabbath from Friday to Saturday so all of my workouts will be Saturday night when the sun goes down. So tonight I did my mile and arms. I did 3x10 left and right arm raises and 3x10 rows. My shoulder were on FIYAHHH!! lol








Meals:
Breakfast- Oatmeal
Snack- Annie's Graham Crackers
Lunch- Quest Chocolate Protein Shake
Snack- Simply Nature Dark chocolate Pecan Bar (energy bar), 1 cup of Motts Natural Applesauce,
Dinner- Chicken Street Tacos (because tacos are life). I can eat these every day! Chicken, onions and cilantro AND homemade salsa... MMMM!
Snack- 1 cup of pineapples

Today I had quite a bit of sugar because I didn't plan too well. I forget that church is right around lunch time!

Goals:
Shorten mile time
Finish 3 litters a day
Lose 3-4 pounds a week

Day 3 is a wrap folks! Did you catch day 2? You can check it out HERE!
