Is today Monday? I can't be sure, no school makes one day blend into another. It feels like Sunday to me.
I did A LOT this weekend.
Miss M had her first preschool show, super cute. I want to eat her face some days.
I actually went out and had a few beers. Stayed up past my usual bedtime.
Did some Christmas shopping at the CHI Omega show. It was just OK. I did find some good deals for myself though :)
After that I went to a cookie party.
For those of you who have never been to one, everyone makes a different cookie and then you get to take home a bunch of different types of cookies.
OMG> so easy and delicious. I really need supervision when cookies are in the house.
I ate a fat girl amount these last 2 days.
This is the problem with the holidays! I'm hosting my own cookie party in like 2 weeks so yeah, I need to get control of this shit like ASAP.
I ran a lot this weekend.
This is perfect running weather! Cold and hot at the same time.
Soccer Sunday is over, sad. I'm now responsible for getting is a sweat fest on the hardest day for me to find my motivation. Something about Sundays makes me want to stay in and eat.
I forced myself out the door for a run, 5 miles at a 9:19 pace
50 push ups
40 Dead fish {each side}
That afternoon I volunteered to help out one of the instructors from the gym make a video to get certified to teach a class.
90 minutes later my arms were shaking and my legs were feeling like jelly.
I rewarded myself with cookies. Damn, inner fat girl.
Let me let you in on a secret, you CAN NOT outrun a bad diet. You can't eat cookies and then go 'work' it off. Trust.
Anyways.
I'll be running the 8 miler on Turkey Day! Anyone else going?
I also took out a MAJOR source of beige in my house. It's so much better I can barely stand it :)
Hopefully I can get my house clean enough to take some pics today!
I mean, really?
Happy Monday!

Love this! I've never heard of a cookie party... I think its a blessing i've never heard of it. yikes!
ReplyDeleteMmmm COOOKIES. It is impossible to outrun a bad diet. My problem is when I eat bad I feel bad... then when I feel bad I don't "feel" like working out and end up slugging along in my workouts. When I fuel my body right I am more excited to workout!
ReplyDeleteAGH!!!!!!!! I love this - I love running in this weather too - it makes for the Perfect run. I want your cookies:) HAHAHA - for real I have a terrible sweet tooth - terrible, so I am stocked up on gum right now. BOO:( Happy Monday girl.
ReplyDeleteYou look so fantastic Megan! You inspire me to take my work outs up a notch. I'm doing a little 5k Wednesday night, but I may try my longest run ever on Thursday afternoon. Gotta go stock up on the blocks! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies looked so good! I will be visiting family in Dallas for Thanksgiving. I am doing the 5k with my kids and my husband and BIL are running the 8 mile run.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl. Reason #157 why I don't keep or limit amounts of sweets in my house. Hello my name is Nicole and I am a sugarholic. No joke. Love love sweets. Good luck with the willpower. If you desperately need a place for the sweets ok I'll take them off your hands ha!
ReplyDeleteLoved Miss M's turkey outfit! Super cute!
ReplyDeleteWish I had the motivation to get my Christmas shopping started, run a million miles, bake cookies, swap cookies, and save the world! You're amazing!!!!
Happy Monday, girl!
What is Madison doing on the counter?!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see pics of the room!!! Holla for getting rid of the beige! :)
Hi Megan! I've been reading for a while but have never commented. Just wanted to let you know that your workouts are inspirational! Also love love your chevron dress!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look DELCIOUS! And again, I love your shirt! LOL to your daughter sitting on the kitchen counter! She looks like trouble, our girls would get along!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a cookie party. I may have to throw one myself, even if I'm the only guest :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday morning!
Happy Monday to you too! I've heard about cookie parties, but have never had one. I might just have to give it a try this year.
ReplyDeleteYou are already doing better than I, I had the same cookies, without the running.
ReplyDeleteCoooooooookies!!!! Yummy & worth it. Don't beat yourself up, you are a rockstar!
ReplyDeleteFirst time commenting but long-time reader.
ReplyDeleteI've got to say - you inspire me with your fashion. I love it (here, on the blog, and Instagram, too). You help old-no-fashion-sistas like me...
You also inspire me with your kick-ass workouts.
Thanks, girlfriend,
Kelly in Cali
My eating is so out of whack. The fact that my hormones are so effed up isn't helping I'm sure... I ate almost an entire jar of marshmallow fluff since yesterday... 2 days... 1 jar... I'm going to enjoy my thanksgiving and then do my best to eat well between now and Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love your love of Chevron! I know what you mean about cookies. They are the death of me. If they are in my house, I will eat them until I am gone. Ugh...
ReplyDeleteThose last sets of photos from you outside look like a Shape magazine article. You get it, girl!!
