Sweat it Out:
Rollin on the River 5K Walk

I don’t usually like weekends.  It could be because while most people look at the weekend as family time, I usually spend it with Hanna, because my hub’s is a hard-working man who has had to work a LOT of weekends lately!  I do look at the extra money as a total blessing, and now that I stay home with our little munchkin we have been down an income and so the extra hours help out a LOT!

This weekend I was thankful to have the hub’s for 3 whole days!  I’m not going to lie, it has felt like a bit of a vacation, and I’ve veered off the straight and narrow eating plan for the last few days.  Dustin and I have made a promise to each other that we will have a healthy Sunday to start the week off right.  I feel like a junk gut, and I can tell a HUGE difference in my energy levels and how I feel all around.

Another fun thing that we got to participate in was the Rollin on the River 5k for the Mesa Developmental Services.  I enjoyed every minute of this event with Dustin.  My husband is competitive and even though pretty much nobody was there to win the walk, Dustin was trying to pass as many people as he could.  I think it’s just because he wanted to be first in line for the lunch that was provided.  We had a lot of fun walking and talking together, and we decided it was something that we should do together more often.  Side Note:  he has been complaining all day long about how stiff his muscles are from our workout yesterday!  I love that I made my hub’s work hard at the gym!

Here are a few pic’s from the event:

Dustin showing some enthusiasm!

post-race, still smiling! Also, I got to walk in my new Old Navy activewear, which are SO comfortable! I can't wait to wear them to the gym on Monday!

This is my friend Kelly, who has been my workout buddy since I started doing "The New Rules of Lifting for Women". It is so fun to be able to have a friend to work out with even if it is only once a week!

We had so much fun at this event, it was great to be able to get involved and support a friend!

To top off our Saturday we got to attend our annual murder mystery party where we were all apart of the “Psycho Circus”.  I was the bearded Lady (who later revealed I was a man dressing like women), and Dustin was Sampson the “Strong Man”, complete with handle bar mustache.  I only got to wear my beard for a minute because the adhesive didn’t stick very well, but Dustin’s mustache was the bomb!  I wish I had gotten a picture (doh!).  My friend got some shots so hopefully I will be able to get a copy.  We had a fun group with 5 other couples and the acting was horrendous as always!

Now I have one last day to soak up all the time I can get with my hub’s before he has to head back to work for an undetermined amount of time.

What have you done this weekend?
