Saturday was a long day of baseball with a tournament for Gio. Luckily, the field he played on was right across the street from the bay trail so I could do a run while his team warmed up. Did 2 rounds of Pink Flamingo when we got home from his first game.

Dinner was at a pizza place after the second game. I had a very small salad but was still hungry. I had two slices of pizza. Luckily the slices were small. Not the best way to end the bikini series but I didn’t overdo it so I’m happy.

Did my long run on Sunday. It went well. My ankle is doing a lot better. The soreness is almost completely gone. I have more mobility with it.

Didn’t have time to take after pics so I will get to it during the week. I’ll do a post with my results and how this year’s bikini series went for me.

Family fun day in the city today. We went shopping, explored Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, and had a late lunch at Rainforest Cafe. I stuck with a shrimp salad and water. We got back just before Gio had to get ready for his tournament game. We picked up Panera for dinner to take to the game. I had the black bean soup and Cobb salad with no dressing. It was tough to stay away from the snack bar junk, but I stayed strong :-)

I wasn’t all that great at volleyball tonight :-( I went to the gym and did my workout before going to volleyball so I was pretty worn out. Played doubles for the last 40min and got a good sweat on. Really going to work on getting better as a setter this session.

Sunset Challenge: No picnic for me. We took the boys to the gym and took turns working out right before dinner time. We were all pretty worn out when we got home and I had volleyball class to get to. Planning on taking the boys for a picnic in the next couple weeks.

Started the day with the BeachBabe DVD. Boys being home makes it hard to get into a routine. Even though, I’ve added them to the gym membership, I haven’t taken them yet because Gio’s had a cough the last couple days. It’s been frustrating for me and my workouts are what have saved me.

Gio had a game so I brought snacks. Forgot to bring them along so I jogged back home to get them and walked back to the park getting an extra little workout in :-) The hills plus carrying the lunch box was a good burn on the legs. Ben and I had cucumbers. Dinner was later than usual because the game went long.

Love the new DaisyDukes workout!! Great one for the legs/booty. Forgot my phone when I went to the gym. So tough to do my cardio but it got done.

I didn’t do the Sunset Challenge because even of it had remembered to get postcards to send, I would not have mailed them out in time. I’m so bad about mailing things out. I’ll text my friends on Saturday though :-)

Did my long run on Saturday since I was going to be in Sacramento for the weekend. After having lunch, the boys and I headed out. It took forever to get to Sac. Traffic was horrible. Had cherries for M4 on the road. Eating while driving helps keep me from getting bored.
I did do the Sunset Challenge and hung out with my girl Malissa for a couple hours. It was great to catch up. I miss her and wish I lived closer so I could help her through the tough time she’s going through.

Happy Father’s Day!! A jam packed day.

I was up late finishing up gifts for my dad and Ben’s dad on Saturday so I slept in a little Sunday morning. It wasn’t great sleep. The bed I slept on was so uncomfortable. My back was hurting so I got up. I did The FatBurning treadmill workout on Gene’s elliptical. Seppe hopped on for 10min after me :-) I did the Short and Sweet shoulder routine with resistance bands. Followed it with Bikini yoga.

Took Gene to lunch at Chili’s. Had just enough time to shower, get dressed and prep the gifts for the bday party and my dad before heading out to the bday party. Had one piece of pizza and some ice cream cake. From there, we drove to my dad’s for dinner. It was great spending time with my family. The boys loved their baby cousin and hovered over her the whole night. We went back to Gene’s house to pack up and drive back home. Gio fell asleep as soon as he got into the car, and Seppe fell asleep when we got to the freeway. We made it safely home :-)
