Starting Off Right

March 3, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Hola! Did you see yesterday’s post about my plans for the month of March? I would say I started off right and had a good day yesterday! My mom and I went to Target, where thanks to Kelly and her couponing advice, I will be shopping a lot more often! We then went to Lee’s Hamburgers. YUM! if you are from the NOLA area, you know what I am talking about. if you aren’t….then sorry you are missing out! Lee’s makes the best hamburgers ever and they have been around forever (like, since my parents were little, now that’s a LONG time! )

It was so beautiful out we ate outside!

A burger, fries, and root beer later…you would think I would be too full for froyo. But, you would be wrong! We thought it was comical since Menchies is in the same shopping center, all we did was move down the building and eat outside there, too!

This my friends is NY style cheesecake with cherries, strawberries, and almonds! Heavenly goodness in a cup.

I seriously have terrible posture. I need to learn to sit up straight.

After the gloriousness of feeling so full I had to change my pants, I had the bright idea to go on a run. I WANTED to run, but my rock hard full of food stomach thought otherwise….but I did it anyway. it was so beautiful outside, the prettiness of the day was just calling out to me! I decided to run a quick three and see what kind of speed I had. I did great mile one, right at 9:00. Mile two is when my stomach started rebelling against the motion and I got a super sick feeling but still managed to run it in under 10:00. The third mile I was able to pick up the pace a bit. I even tried to throw up but couldn’t, I knew I would have felt better. oh well. Anyway, I managed to finish in 28:00! For someone on the verge of vomit, I was incredibly proud of myself!

After my run, I went inside to discover my dad was home, so my mom and I made him walk with us. they even jogged a little! We ended up doing 1.35 miles total. We ate dinner, watched American Idol (well, mom and I did!) and I went to bed! I would call that  successful March day in more ways that one. Go me! Hopefully today will be a success as well, because tomorrow all the fun begins!

Bobby got the keys to the new house yesterday FINALLY, so tomorrow I meet him there and unload my car, then we will take one car up to our old house and the movers come Saturday morning! it will be a wild weekend for sure! I will take plenty of pictures for you though. I can’t wait to unpack in my new home!  I am off to enjoy the day, have a great one!

QOTD: What are you doing this weekend?

    Great job on the run! Isn’t it funny how sometimes when you feel the worst, you run the fastest? My fastest run this year came an hour after eating a huge lunch and cupcake. I almost didn’t run bc I was so sick to my stomach!

    Yay for house keys! Excited for you!

    Not sure what we’re doing. Pretty sure it involves trying a new BBQ place though. Good job not puking. 😉

    I did the Disney Princess 1/2 this weekend! You need to do this race if you haven’t. If you loved the Disney one in January you will love this one….plus wearing a tutu & a crown makes running more fun 🙂

    • Heather says

      March 3, 2011 at 8:08 pm

      oh I am so wearing a tutu and a tiara. I can’t wait!

    This weekend I am running my final 20 miler of marathon training. It feels like my whole weekend revolves around the run, but it’s a 20 mile race with awesome friends, so I’m excited!

    I’m so bad at running after I eat! I usually have to eat at least 2 hours before I run. Way to stick with it!

    • Heather says

      March 4, 2011 at 8:47 am

If you’re new here, I figured an introduction was If you’re new here, I figured an introduction was overdue. 👋

I’m Heather. Wife, mom, content creator, trip planner, snack purchaser, basketball chauffeur, and personal assistant to two Goldendoodles who contribute absolutely nothing to the household.

I live in east Tennessee with my husband Bobby, my daughter Emma Kate, and our dogs Dolly and Luna.

Around here you’ll find a little bit of everything:
✈️ Family vacations
❤️ Couples getaways
🌎 The occasional solo adventure
🏀 Sports mom life
🏡 Home and household finds
🍽️ Food, recipes, and restaurants
🛍️ Products I genuinely use and love

Basically, if it’s making our lives easier, more fun, more organized, more luxurious, or creating memories, there’s a good chance I’ll be sharing it.

If you’re here for basketball content, travel ideas, home finds, dog content, or just the chaos of trying to do it all, welcome. You’re my kind of people.

You can also follow Emma Kate’s basketball journey at @theprincessEK and keep an eye out for appearances from Dolly and Luna, who are convinced this account belongs to them anyway. (They have their own IG @ourdoodledolly!) 

Or if you just want mom life basketball content, you can follow me at @heatherfromthebleachers where I post memes and funnies and being a sports parent. 

Now tell me about you. Where are you from, and what kind of content do you want to see more of? 👇

So it’s actually today…HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎉 Ju So it’s actually today…HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎉 
July 13th happens to be a pretty great day if you ask me. 😜

Today I’m 41. I’m not a fan of odd numbers so I’m not sure yet how I feel about this year. 😆

I will say I am always very reflective on my birthday. I’m grateful for every year God has given me, and know how blessed I am to have even made it to 41. Each day is truly a gift, and I don’t always live or act like it. As someone who is “over the hill,” I find myself wanting to soak it all in and slow it all down more and more, but it just keeps getting faster and faster! 🫣

Here’s to another go around, and hopefully to many, many more. 🥂

While it’s true you need sugar to make a good slush and Alani energy drinks are lacking here, with an easy modification (fruit juice!) I got it to work, and boy was it delicious on a hot July day! ☀️ 

It was a fun, summery special occasion drink! What flavor combos should I try next? Hawaiian shaved ice + pineapple juice was so good! It was so easy I want to do it again! 🥤
