It’s time already to sit down and catch up with a cuppa. I’m linking up with Deb and Coco for the Ultimate Coffee Date. Join us!
Since we (surprise!) went from 31 to 88 degrees over the course of about 24 hours here in the Chi this week, I’m going cold brew.
Over cold brew I’d tell you I finally got some seeds started (only 2 months late) and started to get the deck AKA my summer sanctuary pimped out. I haven’t potted any flowers yet and the urge is strong, but Mom Nature cannot be trusted! The grill is out and seeing lots of action though. Yasss!
Over cold brew I’d tell you both kiddos qualified for their respective Track Conference Championships this Saturday…at the same time…at different schools. Not sure how we’re gonna swing that…divide up I guess…but we will.
Over cold brew I’d tell you I lost 5 lbs in April and most of that very unwelcome spare tire I gained over winter/spring break. My success was in part due to the Zooma Spring Refresh Challenge. We really worked on getting added sugars out of our diets, among other things. I was so pleased with the Spring Refresh I signed up for the Summer Challenge as well. It features a 6-week workout plan, healthy food challenge, weekly target challenges, a progressive half marathon and lots more, not to mention some awesome swag. Check it all out here.

Over cold brew I’d tell you that I’m honored to be on the Spandits Ambassador team for another year. Who can resist the fun patterns? Not I! Fresh for spring (or summer) are two irresistible new patterns. Impeachmint and Ikat. Which is your fave? Remember SPANDITSLOVE saves you 10%. Tell them I sent you!
Over cold brew I’d certainly show you my new necklace. I wanted something that would inspire me to keep pushing toward finishing the 2 remaining World Marathon Majors (London and Tokyo) and Nana at My Marathon Jewelry hit it out of the park.

What’s new with you? Is May sheer chaos for you? What mantra would you put on a necklace?
I’m linking up with Meranda, Lacey and Rachel for the Friday Five.
Ahhhh, I am stoked about your weight loss. I think I found you 5 lbs…..
Crap…didn’t mean to hit send …. MAJOR congrats to the girls on their meets! 🙂 🙂
I love your necklace! And awesome job with the weight loss! Also, congrats to your girls on both making their track championships. Hopefully you can figure out a way to make the timing work!
And how about that plunge back into the 40s yesterday? I left the house to go to a doctor’s appt in shorts and a tank and came home freezing!
I do love that necklace!
congrats to both of your kids! That sucks that both track meets are at the same time on the same day (what are the odds?!)
I love your new necklace! I have no doubt that you will run London and Tokyo. Did you enter the lottery for London this year?
I still have not tried any of the spandits yet! You and Wendy always look so cute in them though. Congrats on the weight loss you’ve been working hard. Thanks for joining us for coffee today
Very cute necklace and congrats to your kiddos! I smartened up and started scheduling my chorus concert in April so May isn’t so hectic. All of my lesson plans are done as well so that makes things a bit easier. But the behavior problems at school seem to spike in May… It’s like, it gets warm out and kids think they can just do whatever they want!
Congrats and good luck to the kids. Hopefully you can get both on video so no one feels like they “missed” watching. I love grilling weather but have been known to send the hubs out in the snow 😉
I like that necklace but I’m a sucker for all jewelry. Kudos to your daughters in track and kudos to you for the weight loss.
Ok, those Spandits are so kick azz!! The patterns are amazing! How exciting your daughters are both doing so well! Congrats to them, and good luck this weekend 😉
That’s a great necklace! There’s so much stuff for running, it’s fun. My mom got me a 13.1 necklace right before my first half.
Love your necklace! And congrats on the weight loss. That’s awesome. I know how hard you’ve been working on that.
I’m very careful about added sugars — even making my own salad dressings — they sometimes have a little honey or maple syrup in there, but at least I control it & know what the heck is in there!
What’s not to love about fun patterns. 🙂
The same happened here. 30’s to the high 80’s over night! I haven’t had time to plant my garden yet but hopefully soon! That is so great about your kids and the races
I’d probably put “I can do hard things” on a necklace. But I’m also really liking “run happy” lately
I love your new necklace. It’s so perfect!
hahaha, I’m definitely not understanding this weather either–it feels like it just completely skipped over spring and went straight to summer!
Congrats on being a Spandits ambassador again! The patterns are super cute! That necklace is super cute too!
I’ve never had cold brew but I do like iced coffee for some reason, lol! The crazy temperature swing certainly activated my allergies!
Congrats to your track star kids! And congrats on the weight loss! I’m glad the program was such a success!
Ohhh I like that necklace! I have a necklace that says ‘fearless’ that always keeps me going!
Congrats on accomplishing your goal with shifting eating and seeing results! That’s always encouraging!
Great job on the weight loss! Congrats to the kids but ugh on the scheduling. My May just got a whole lot crazier because we just adopted a rescue dog …
That is a pretty necklace! This weather is simply C-R-A-Z-Y but I guess we knew that because of winter. It will be interesting to see how it will be in the summer.
Congrats on the weight loss!! I am trying to do that myself
