Now for the summer challenge...my first week went great, got my workouts in. This week, not so much, Monday was not a good day for one reason. See when I wash dishes or am making lunch, I put Charley in her bouncy seat on the kitchen floor so that she can still see me. Well I was washing dishes and then turned around to go and grab something and kicked her chair...in my bare feet...and BROKE MY TOE. Yep, my first broken bone ever, if you can call it that and it didn't happen in any kind of exciting fashion.
Needless to say, there was no working out on Monday night, I could barely walk. I felt like such a baby, but IT HURT! Tuesday morning it felt better, I was still walking funny because I couldn't put any pressure on my toe. Today it was A LOT better, so I am back at it. I went for a long walk with Charley and the dogs tonight, so there is one workout in. Tomorrow I will do the same since Jimmy picked up a shift at the bar and I will be back to the gym for a run on Friday.
And boy do I need to get to working out...because...I signed up for the SheRox Triathlon! It is in Philly on August 3rd. A little less then 3 months from now. Am I nuts...yes. I have to get my butt into gear and my black and blue toe is not cooperating. Jeannie from Points and Pounds is doing the Tri too. I also just found out she is double nuts and signed up for the one in Charlotte where she lives. I myself have never been to Charlotte...so am contemplating doing the same...we'll see, since they are kind of pricey to sign up for.
Hmmm, what else. Oh my first Mother's Day!!! It was GREAT definitely one I will never forget. Jimmy and Charley surprised me and took me to the beach for the weekend!! Just the 3 of us, it was wonderful. He rented a place within walking distance to everything, the beach, the shops etc. We got to take Charley to the beach...we put her feet in the water, she felt the sand, it was wonderful. We thought she would scream when the cold water hit her feet, but nope! She loved it!! And it was COLD!! The weather could have been better, it was cold and rainy most of the time, but we were all together so that was all that mattered to me.
Here are a few pictures from Mother's Day weekend at the beach :)

Congrats on the loss! That is AWESOME! And I'm so pumped you're doing the tri. You KNOW you want to do the one in Charlotte too..... and it's a wee bit cheaper to sign up than the one in Philly :)
Congrats on the loss!! Sounds like you are really getting used to this mommy stuff and having a good time! ;) The pics were super cute!
Yea on the 3 pounds - that is excellent. IT seems once you start trying to lose the baby weight the first bunch comes off quickly but the last 10ish are hard. I need to get my butt in gear and really start watching what I am eating. I'm glad you had a wonderful monther's day. I remember mine - I came home from the hospital with Mikayla and had no idea how to be a mom! On my first mother's day I did not feel like a mom because I had been a mom less than 2 day!!
A Beach Baby... But of course! :-)
P.S. I'm tagging you! (just do it when you have some time... yeah right!
CARRIE!!! Your lil girl is BEAUTIFUL!!! I found you again via Jeannie's site, and am so happy to see how well you're doing! I can't wait to catch up on your blog and see how life's been treating you - but from these photos, it looks like you've been incredibly blessed!
