Priorities

I just wanted to check in after yesterday’s post about why I’m focusing on my fitness right now. And in honor of that post, I’m going to take tonight off to get a workout in and cook a healthy meal for my family. Oh, hey, here’s a random photo of an old workout, because I like to include at least one picture in every post:

All of my random thoughts and ideas can wait to be shared another day, right? I know you’ll miss all my wisdom in the mean time. Since I don’t have anything to share tonight, I thought I’d share a few things that have captured my attention today:

I Don’t Always Want to be a Mother Michelle’s awesome and honest take on motherhood. I love this! It’s definitely a good read for any moms or dads out there.

Asian Black Bean Burgers I have a serious craving for Lindsay’s most recent creation. She’d be my bestie if she mailed me some, although I doubt they’d travel well. Hmm…

Short on Time, Not on Sweat Thanks to Carlyn, I’ll never have an excuse to skip a workout. Wait a second… crap. Why did she do this to me?!

5k Foam Fest Giveaway Janine is giving away an entry to what looks like a freaking blast of a race. If you like themed races, this one is for you!

Change your Expectations I love this post! Megan stole the words right out of my mouth… except I’m too awkward to have ever wanted to be an actress. But you get my drift.

When the Scale Won’t Budge Helpful reminders for when you just aren’t seeing any results. It’s easy to forget these things, but Katie was kind enough to remind us. The relaxing tip is huge. Got to work on that!

Well, I’m heading upstairs to get my fitness on. Upper body day! Thank goodness, because my legs are flippin’ screaming from Monday. Yeah, it had been a while since I hit up the weights. While I’m working out, why don’t you help me out. Comment and let me know some of your favorite posts from this week… or any week for that matter. I love having stuff to read while also stalking my son watching the video monitor. I’m not creepy.
