Kim's new and improved life journal!

Just bring yourself and that new car, my dear.

We're goin to the movies and eating out. Nothing else needs to be done.

I went for a short but sweaty 1.5 mile walk at lunch today. I fully intended to do a full 3 miles, but the hot, blazing sun (and the fact that I didn't bring any shower supplies) kind of deterred me a bit.

I plan on getting out there in the am for a run/walk - hopefully at least another 3 miles.

Take care and have a GREAT weekend!!

Here's some pics from the boardwalk last night. I'm still trying to figure out the new camera, so they're not all great, but I tried.

DD's in the middle of the pic all blurry, but DS is right behind her!

Horribly blurry, but I actually DID catch them mid-shot.

Those pictures are SO cute. I actually really like the swing ride one, the slight blurryness really adds to it

I cannot handle the heat right now, I have -0- motivation to even take the dog for a walk, let alone something that would actually get my heart rate up. I hope you do fit in that 3 miler!

Have a great weekend!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Bekki!! How've you been? It's great to see ya!

I did the 3 miles today. Actually 3.06 miles in 37.11 minutes. It started out not too hot, but the last mile and a half were in the blazing sun with no breeze. But I did it and I'm SO glad I did. I beaned it when I got home and then DH and I went into organization mode. We're tired of the clutter. So we cleaned out closets, cleaned off counters, cleaned the kids' rooms and went through old papers. WHEW.

You-know-who will be here any minute to drive us around in her new car all day. We're gonna go see Ratatouie and then go out to dinner. Can't wait!!

Have a great one, guys!

Hi Kim

Thanks for sharing your pictures. Love the boardwalk! Seems like the kids had a great time!

Good job with your run yesterday! Don't worry about the pace at all...running in the summer definitely has challenges. But putting the steps in and getting the distance done is great. Keep up the good work at the gym too!

Hope you have a great week! Stay cool

Mornin' Kim.....got a favor to ask...
would you come pack up my laundry room stuff?

Sounds like you and Jen and the gang had fun....wish I could've gone.


Have a great day!
Oh....great job on the run....kickin' butt again girl!

Hi Kim
Great photos
Glad you had fun.
Great you got the run in although i dont know how you do it in such hot weather, give me the nice air conditioned gym any day
Although with the weather were having lately, getting hot & sweaty isnt a problem ....just staying dry

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys. Thanks everyone for stopping by!

I actually woke up & ran today!! I can't even imagine running later in the day because when I ran this morning at 6am it was hot & stuffy and around 80 degrees. I ran 2 miles in 23.09 minutes. Not bad at all for me since I've been slacking off on the cardio lately and the humidity is thick and heavy. But enough about that....like Amy said - I got the steps and the miles in - that's all that matters.

It's a monumental night, everyone. As of Wednesday, I will no longer be a minivan owner. I've had a minivan since I was pregnant with Em (9 years ago) and I was soooo excited back then. Don't get me wrong, practicality-wise, they ROCK! But I fell down a few notches in the coolness scale by driving it. And by now, I'm too old to be cool. Anyway, tonight I cleaned out the van, and I'm turining it in on Wednesday when my lease ends. As of today, my dealer isn't ready to lease me the GMC Acadia I want, since he is waiting for a "good deal". My IL's are away for a few weeks, so I am gonna borrow their car until that "deal" comes along. I'll post pics when I get it. I'm SO excited!!

I was supposed to go to the gym at lunch today, but I guess the run zapped my brain cells because I totally forgot my packed gym bag at home. No problem though, I'll hit the gym tomorrow & Thursday and hopefully run Wed and Friday mornings.

Have a great night, all!

Great job getting your run in, Kim! Keep up the good work!

That's great that you're getting a new car! I know what you mean about the minivan thing. We're borrowing my mom's car right now and I am so thankful because we are spending a lot less in gas than we did with our van. Since my DH travels a lot , that has been very helpful!

Hope you have a great day!

 

[bekkiz]

Woo hoo on the car and the run, it's a good day, even when the weather's trying to bring ya down

Hope your day is going well!

 

[kmp1191]

You're gonna miss your van!! You may not think so now, but you will!! Just my 2 cents!!

Great job on the run...you're kickin' butt girl!!
Hope you don't zap too many more brain cells....

[Blueeyes101817]

so you will be driving next time we hang out?! woohooo--new car!!

 

[kimwim8]

Sounds like you and Jen and the gang had fun....wish I could've gone.

We wish you were there too. But you calling was so funny!

And I think it'll take me some time to miss the van.

Thanks for the encouragement guys. It means a LOT to me.

I went to the gym at lunch today. I walked a quick mile on the dreadmill and then did arm/leg/ab weights. I'm gonna play it by ear for the run in the am tomorrow. Right now, my legs are pretty darn sore (also added some squats with hand weights today) and the weather is supposed to be nasty storms tomorrow. So we'll see. If it doesn't happen tomorrow (the run), it will happen on Thursday.

Thanks again, guys.

 

[kimwim8]

Howdy all. Not here to complain. I'm really not. Just posting an update that I did not run this morning...and it wasn't because of rain or sore legs. It was b/c of some severe lower back pain. Left work early this afternoon to find out I have a UTI. Hopefully the meds kick in quickly and I'm not slowed down too much. I plan on hitting the gym tomorrow and will run on Friday.

 

[AmyBeth68]

HI Kim...

Oh no!!! A UTI...not fun . Ouchie! Good thing you went to the doctor.

I hope you are feeling better soon! Take care of yourself Kim!!!!
