Roxymama's 5k to Marathon, Time to Collect Another Castle

[roxymama]

Well, let's turn to a more fun topic.

I just bought BATB movie tickets for this weekend! Woot Woot.
I won't spoiler it after I see it (although I think we all know the plot at this point.) So that is exciting!

What the heck?!? Who does that? I'm pissed off for you.

And yes you do need to say something. That is ridiculous especially because you look great and you are a healthy awesome person striving to be even healthier. And it IS about health and not how skinny somebody is or isn't. Even though I also get caught up in the number on the scale knowing that I shouldn't. Anyway, try not to let it get to you. You are awesome and that awesomeness is obvious on the outside and inside.

Are you serious?? People suck.

Here's something to (hopefully) make you feel better - pretty running clothes!

I would go for the blue sparkle skirt! I'm buying the same one for my Captain America outfit.

About the unsolicited weight advice...totally rude! In the past, I would have laughed it off too, but I've found as I've gotten older, I don't keep it inside anymore, and now I would have given that person a big F*%$ you. It IS hard to stay positive when struggling with weight. It seems I've been trying to lose 10 pounds for forever, and here I am now running marathons and I still can't lose it! BUT, I'm running marathons!!! My body can do great things! And your body has done and IS doing great things, so keep focusing on that.

I hope to take DD to see BATB this weekend too.

 

[Ariel484]

Okay I edited my post to actually include the pictures this time...

Seriously though. If someone had said that to me I would have cried or snapped and went off on them. So I give you credit for laughing it off.

Totally true...gotta focus on that I frickin' ran 7 miles last night and got home at 10pm and still functioned today! Even if not "fully" functioned

ETA that blue is my skirt preference color I think too

Ooooh...hmmm...that blue matches the blue on the bottom of the shirt nicely. It's the pink vs orange flowers that's not quite a match, right? When the weather is nice enough I can totally see myself rocking this on runs, but I'm not 100% sold on them matching enough for Tink. But I love that skirt anyways and hope it fits nice! Hmmmmm.....Now if I found wings that were both orange AND pink...

And maybe my running last night made me too tired to cry over today's weird thing. Venting here helped. Thank god for the weekend!

THIS. AMEN. I need to remember this too- thank you!


I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE BATB THIS WEEKEND!!! AHH!!! (sorry for the caps... but seriously been waiting forever!)

Have a great weekend!!

 

[roxymama]

AMEN...HERE'S TO A GREAT WEEKEND!

I agree - I think the blues go better than I thought they would when you originally suggested this combination, but the orange flowers and the pink flowers... Just not sure. I do like this skirt a lot though, you can sort of see in the pics that it's not just a solid blue, it's got some pattern to it...and the shorts are fun!

Wings...have you tried Esty or anything like that? Just remember...

Hubby gets bonus hubby points today because he took kiddo to bring grandma lunch while I napped for several much needed hours (ok only 1 hour, but I laid there not wanting to get up for awhile)
Then I ran my 4 miles since they weren't home yet.
First I put on my fave little happy yetis to get me in a good mood.

Run happy

But then it was too cold to let them show, so vest it is.

No makeup...literally woke up like this!

Sadly I had to come back inside because still too cold out to look cute.

Where is spring???

I started at EB pace for awhile before I remembered it was an EA day. So then happily eased back. Almost got stuck by a freight train going by but I'm slow enough that it was done by the time I got up to the crossing. See that's a pro of not being the speediest person!

I made it to 4 miles and the saw the promised land...

I had to zoom that pic because I miscalculated and still had to walk a few blocks.
Tried something new that was on the sign. Coconut milk mocha macciato

I give it 4 out of 4 stars
And then a box of essentially toddler food...

Still yummy post run.

Walk home was colder than running (duh) but I used my hat to make a coozie for my iced coffee and hustled home (walking.)
Baby is napping. Life is good. Haters gonna hate. I'm just gonna keep sipping my macchiato

I love Toddler food!!! I love yetis!! I love naps!! Your post rocked on so many fronts!

 

[ZellyB]

Most excellent update. You look as happy as your yetis and super cute.

I usually have to share or give up my string cheese. Don't tell kiddo that I ate one without her!!!

Thanks! I'm glad it was finally warmish/dry enough to do the Starbucks run.

 

[Ariel484]

You look so cute and awesome!

So today I tried the cinnamon almond milk macchiato. I would give it...2.75 or of 4 stars.

I literally almost ordered that! It was the other one on the sign. But I tend to choose chocolate over cinnamon when given the choice. I'm glad you gave that critique so I can maybe stay away from that one but sad you got a dud. I rec. the Mocha coconut milk one if u like that kinda thing!

My wife and I went to see it today. We thought it was well done. It was true to the original, but different enough to be something fresh.

 

[roxymama]

Wait why didn't I think of this sooner? My shirt + some form of blue skirt/shorts has Stitch potential!

Not saying I'd wear this visor. But now I've got some creative thinking to do. Hmmmmmm
