so i realized that i never posted last week. no biggie, you didn’t miss much. i went up 0.6 oz, which honestly is nothing in the grand scheme of things and it was my first gain. this week i have dealt with more battles, not with my weight but with my body. a few weeks ago i jogged that 5k and was supposed to be doing another one this sunday but last thursday when i went to go run at the gym my knees put a halt to the 5k. i still managed to run for twenty minutes that night paired with my leg workout. i could barely walk on friday while out with the family. saturday morning i slept through my 5 am alarm for spin so i headed out to the gym to run instead. i made it three minutes and i was almost balling. intense pain. i laid low for sunday even though i wanted to go to spin. monday i was limping like an old lady but managed to make it to spin and i made it through the entire sixty minutes plus another leg workout. after thirty i could feel the pain coming back so i backed off the resistance. my knees felt better yesterday but i am very weary of running. maybe it was too soon or maybe my knees are just healing from my bad fall. who knows. i think it’s just an f-you sign from my body letting me i will be thirty in three months. sorry body you will not win this battle. i am strong and will kick you in the. . .

urban walls {giveaway}
when danielle of urban walls contacted me i was so excited to share this with my readers. urban walls is owned and operated by danielle and her husband; they make gorgeous and unique vinyl decals. i started purchasing vinyl decals when i was preggo with payton. when my sister moved into her house a few years back i had purchased my nieces decals to go over their beds. i am not saying i am a know-it-all when it comes to vinyl but i can tell you when i see quality. the previous sellers i purchased from have nothing on urban walls, in terms of quality, price and unique designs. i was blown away just by the directions list, and that says a lot. i could not wait to get the vinyl chalk to-do list up onto my walls. i had been searching for a unique picture/board to place on this wall since moving back into our house last summer and when i saw the chalk board options in their shop i knew it just had to be. i have my eye on several other designs for when we move into a bigger house. here are a few of my favs:
irish soda bread {tuesdays with dorie}
monday phone dump
from left to right.
* after we spent all morning cleaning we decided to reward ourselves with a lamb and falafel döner from the kebab shop. if you’re in the san diego area it’s a must try.
* i was cleaning out all the kids clothes so i decided to see how my progress was coming along with all my old jeans. i can fit into three pair but with major love handles. it just boggles my mind how at gap a size 30 falls off, meaning i need a 28. all my old jeans are 28’s and a few 29’s and with some my ass stops them from going up. gah. oh well. by my birthday i should be there, if not sooner. three months and counting.
* going through the garage looking for our house improvement folder i found an envelope with pictures from these photo shoots here and here. i cried when i saw my grandma and i. i miss her so much.
* saturday our oven was cranking out the goods: green velvet cupcakes for an 18th birthday, irish soda bread (deets on that tomorrow when i link up with tuesdays with dorie) and some banana choco-chip muffins.
* part of the spring cleaning involved moving both couches and cleaning under our area rug, baseboards, etc. we had a sweet dance party going on and payton played with her shadow.
* payton’s kid plate at the kebab shop. insane. we ended up buying additional flatbread on our way out to make jim’s lunch for today.
* before the storm hit the kids and i got to the park fairly early. i wanted to make sure payton had a good amount of time to exert engery before being indoors all weekend.
* oh, and that sweet little boy turned five months yesterday. hopefully it won’t take me two weeks to take his picture and get his post up like it has the past four months. bad mommy.
