#Mamavation Monday: Hi Again

Eff this, I'm going to bed.

How I felt for a good week-ish

The semester is over, it’s summer, and it’s all very exciting, but between finals week and the worst cold ever, blogging kinda took the back burner. But here we are, all nice and back and intact. Yay!

I do have to admit, though, that I feel like my writing is all over the place lately. A little bit of the break I’ve taken was to kind of realign, consider where I’d like this blog to go, and what I should share with all of you, if I should do more reviews, if I shouldn’t, if my reviews should be accompanied by a giveaway or if that seems disingenuous, if I should have more of a focus on local flavor or if I want to keep things more universal, so to speak. I have a lot of decisions to make, but I think this is a pretty good time to make them.

But I do know that Mamavation Mondays are a kind of weekly centering for me, so they’re staying. While it’s all fine and good to be accountable to oneself, I find it’s helped me a lot to be accountable to a group of people who a. know what’s up, and b. are supportive in my successes and failures. Good stuff, no?

Anyway, I finally have the lung capacity to run again, and I have less than 2 weeks to be ready for a 10K. EEK! Worst case scenario, I get carted off in an ambulance, but the next worst case scenario which is much more likely is that I just have to walk a little ways.

At least I had to eat relatively healthy while I was sick. Really, it’s mostly because it was primarily fluids. In fact, I’m almost sure I can sustain myself completely on pho, although I’d probably get pretty bored of it after a very short while. I know this because I did. I probably won’t eat pho again for about a month.

This post is sponsored by Omron and hosted by Mamavation – a community dedicated to obesity prevention & weight loss for women and I’m writing this to be entered into a giveaway

  1. Glad to hear you are feeling better :)  Good luck on your 10k!

  2. Can I just say, don’t push it to ambulance scenario… run when you can, walk when you must… Love you!  Glad you are feeling better :)

  3. I almost had a stroke when I read 10k. LOL I just started feeling really groovy about myself because I actually finished running a mile in 15 minutes with minimal walking time haha! My lungs hate running but I’m building their tolerance for … you know, BREATHING while I do it. ;) Good luck with that — and don’t push yourself TOOOO hard. Listen to your body.
