Picking a costume

Hello to all! I am so excited the hubby and I finally decided on a costume for our little peanut. I have been sticking with my tutu trend every year and this year we decided on this beauty:

Now... I know the coloring of the tulle will be a little tricky.....and the top.... but I am excited to give it a whirl and challenge myself:) Speaking of challenging myself, I have upped my miles and am trying to do between 5-6 miles a day. I will not be attempting this today since the weather here is windy. We are talking 30+ mile per hour winds people. Ain't nobody got time for dat!  What Halloween costumes have you all decided on for your kiddos? Happy Hump Day!

High

 Yesterday I was FINALLY able to go on a run outside since the hubby was home. I gotta say...I got the biggest runners high! I don't know if it's because I haven't run outside in so long or what...but it felt so good and I just had to share. On another note, I haven't taken Nova to the gym yet where she could play with kids while I work out. I am a little scared that she will get upset and start crying. Although, she is always good with kids. I know I just need to go and try it but I think I have to build a little courage first. Once I get her in there I know it will be easier for me to work  out more. Did any of you have a hard time doing that? I'd love any advice!

Advocare

I have been reading a lot of blogs and a coupe of them that I follow on a reg basis use the Advocare products. I am seriously considering trying it. I am trying to increase my running distance and one blogger said she uses the Advocare rehydrate. I am thinking I am gonna need to do a little more research and possibly get on board with it. My jogging stroller is broke and the hubs has been working like crazy so I am having a hard time getting in my runs so I am going to have to figure this out. Have any of you ever tried Advocare? Happy Monday!

Changes

Sorry to those of you who follow me and have been checking up and haven't seen any new posts in a while. I have been out of town a lot over the summer and am finally back home. i have decided to make some major changes around here and I thought I would share. If you have been following my blog, you know that I am trying to lose weight. I am almost to my pre-pregnancy weight and I have to make some hard core changes to get to that goal. I am going to try and log my weight and progress on here to hold me accountable. I was thinking about trying and finding some new recipes online and skinny-ing them up. I follow a couple blogs that keep me motivated so I am hoping these changes I will reach that goal. My little girl is getting bigger now and she will pretty much eat anything so this will be good for her too. My weight yesterday was at 157 and I still have a good 10-12 pounds I would like to lose. I am desperately itching to sign up for a full marathon but if I happen to get pregnant again that will not work out so good. So I will just have to keep with my everyday running for now. I begged the hubs to make half of the garage a gym since we have most of the equipment so I can boost up my weight lifting. We will see how this all turns out. Please share any great skinny recipes you might have or any good at home workouts:)
