I meant to get up this morning for my workout but the alarm was set for PM not AM! Doh! I will go tonight to mix things up!

Yesterday was quite a day — one where I win the Mother of the Year Award.

Got my dates mixed up and sent Nate to a camp he was not signed up for and HB arrived at her camp without all the necessary forms and materials. But guess what?? They survived and will live another day.

Hannah came home and said “Mom, you really need to read stuff and pay attention more. Everyone had their class forms and knew where they were going but me!” Summer can be one of the tougher times for a parent. Figuring out camp schedules, travel, vacations — getting daily camp bags packed. And add that to my already packed schedule — I get overwhelmed and make mistakes. It happens and kids survive.  But you would think it was the end of the world with Hannah sometimes. Nate was so nonchalant about it — funny how with some things, he just goes with the flow.

So this is now my fifth week at HighBar CrossFit and I am LOVING it. I have gotten stronger with their 8 week strength program, tried some new stuff, got some tweaking done on stuff I have previously done, met some new friends, and just feel great about my training again. Plus I have more time back — can take care of the things at home. I didn’t realize how much time I was devoting to CFI overall. It’s nice to have the quiet back in my life – there was too much disruption and drama at CFI on a regular basis in my opinion. It was SO time to move on…

Here’s some stuff around the web that I have been diggin:

• Fresh Bluebery Crumble 
• ‘This study is the first to indicate that excess refined and processed salt may be one of the environmental factors driving the increased incidence of autoimmune diseases,’ they said. Junk foods at fast food restaurants as well as processed foods at grocery retailers represent the largest sources of sodium intake from refined salts.
