best boots ever? i think yes.

December 3, 2013 Filed in me me me

so i was cruising along facebook today (which is rare) and i saw an ad for boots.
i clicked over and i ended up drooling over all kinds of pretty western boots that i didn’t know existed!

BOOTSONE-tiff
first i fell in love with these completely AWESOME BOOTS.
i seriously think they are the prettiest boots in the world.

bootsTWO-tiff
then i found these short black embroidered boots.

bootsthree-tiff

then i saw they also came in short brown boots.   i LOVE these.
leopardboot-tiff
i thought these were cute and different… LEOPARD & BUTTERFLY BOOTS.

PRETTYBOOTS-tiff
i liked these FANCY BOOTS… they seem dressier than the boots at the top.

redboots-tiff
and then the RED BOOTS!!!   i kinda sorta could marry these boots.

all of these were by Old Gringo on Amazon… and WAY way waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my price range.
i am more of a target or old navy boots kind of girl.

but i was feeling dreamy.
and letting myself go there in my head for a little while.

you know…pretending i was Oprah and could get any shoes i wanted.

do you ever play that kind of game?
it’s not very a very good game i you are working on contentment….

oh… i also play it every time i walk through anthropologie too.  🙂

andrea - I know! These have been on my pinterest wish list & amazon wish list for over a year. And there they shall stay. Every once in a while i just like to drool and imagine my feet in those beautiful boots.

Gina in Louisville - Don’t forget Meg-Oprah, everyone in the studio audience gets a pair too!

Laura - This is what I do Meg…

I go on the Anthro site…and I FILL my cart!!! Thousands of dollars in my cart!
Then I close my laptop and walk away

and I FEEL like I just shopped!!!
I get nothing!!!!
And it turns out…
I didn’t need any of it anyway!
Sometimes it’s just fun to FEEL like you can buy anything you want….

but I do hope someone buys you those boots
sorry
it wont be me
I’ll be buying you something at Target….

Lynni - i love looking at boots too, im a red or dead girl myself. hoping desperately that my husband heard me all year long saying how much i need new pretty boots for winter ( i do actually need boots if we are expecting even half the snow they are saying ) and gets me some for Christmas

Amy - My daughter is also 9 and she loves Lego friends. She loves putting them together and playing with them. I am also going to get her some American Girl crafts. Some we have done together and some she assembles herself. Merry Christmas! :0). Happy shopping and good luck!

PS my daughter just bought with her own money the lego friends high school and is enjoying it so much!

Meredith - Old Gringo Women’s Lauren Inlay Western Boot Old Gringo http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007P5Q1ZQ/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_VSoOsb1RJJWWW Limited Time today!

CathyC - If I was a cowboy boot wearing girl, I think I would pick the Fancy Boots. Hi Meg!

Kimberlee Jost - I can’t sleep and come over here and you’re pretending you’re Oprah in Old Gringos!
I miss you.

Jill - I give ya about a day and you will have a new blog sponsor! I think you are do a pair just for this post!

Boots are an investment – you will have them FOREVER! Since I became a mom – 15 years ago, I have justified spending a bit more on good jeans and boots – I feel like I spent money on business suits and cocktail dresses that I wore WAY less than the jeans and boots that have become my everyday wardrobe!

xo~Jill

Sara Torbett - Boots have been on my wish list for a loooooong time. And this week I won a gift card to country outfitters! BUT, the ones I love are the flowery ones too. The $500 ones. YIKES. But aren’t they pretty?! 🙂
Anthropologie is so, so dreamy. I saved up and bought an owl mug that cheers me up every single morning last time I went.

sandy - I love the discount room in anthropologie!! It was another 20% off after Thanksgiving. Finally hit normal prices!

chrissi - pretending you are Oprah. You are too funny and way more fun.

Linda - ohh i want the red ones!!

Mindy - I mostly have two kinds of footwear in my closet – boots and flip-flops. You found some pretty cute ones. Maybe Santa will drop a pair down your chimney : )

Ami - I was just drooling over that top pair of boots the other day. 🙂

Jenny - You are so funny! I’m always playing game. Trying hard not to! The boots are amazing!

Molly - just admiring the beauty!!

stephany - Oh. My. Gorgeous!

tonya - i love them all too- i was fired up- i thought you were having a giveaway for them!

paige - did you know ann voscamp wears old gringo?
she does
holy moly…she’s a stud AND wears old gringo. like more than one pair.
now surely that does nothing if not make you wanna run right back over to amazon & DO IT!

ps–i’m a lucchese girl and love their boots & the leather they use.
true story, look up corral boots..they have a pair that looks quite simliar to old gringo
xo

Claire - I’m definitely with you about Anthropologie! I just want everything from there, all the time. If only!

Tere - Yes, please. I want Dahlia or Dalia by Ariat. Checkout 6pm.com, sometimes you can get some good steals there. xoxo

WINNER! (& i’m back from my random week of silence)

December 2, 2013 Filed in random,running

the winner for the sponsor giveaway of awesomeness…..

TONYA S – I am in love with Jenna Lou’s clutches.  I’m hoping I’ll get one of those eventually!!

tonya…. send me your address and i will ship you a BIG box of happiness!

email me.  🙂

 

SO…. how did your holiday weekend go?!
did you black friday shop?   did you eat too much?  did you bake and cook all day?

do you feel crazy like me?   do you feel like you couldn’t be more behind?

i am pretty sure that is not what jesus wanted christmas to be.
actually i am 100% positive it is not.
i am trying to get myself focused on the important parts of christmas and letting the other stuff go.
it is almost all “other stuff” but so much it has to get done anyway.
but i want to be in God’s word, listening and taking action this december.
instead of feeling like an out of control mess.familyour thanksgivings were each good… and very yummy.
don’t you love a big meal that you didn’t have to make ALL yourself?
i love sharing that with family and coming together.. sharing the load.
LOVE it.
i think it tastes so much better too!

IMG_1373IMG_1378
we got our tree up… the kids put all the ornaments on…while KU played in the background on mute… we watched Elf and i made a fun dessert for them too.
i am hoping it helps my christmas “cheer” kick in.
IMG_0887IMG_0891i got up early for my run yesterday morning…. so lovely.
those sunrises even when it’s super cold are so worth it.
i listened to another andy stanley sermon.  he just makes sense.  you should check him out.
i just download podcasts of north point ministries onto my phone and that’s it.
i feel like he’s talking to ME.
and that he is very caring.  🙂

run2IMG_0894if you have wondered about kansas really being flat…. now you know.
ha.

i was a mile and half into my route and this was my view.
crazy isn’t it?

and then about 30 minutes later going back the other way…
a dude just comes up from behind me OUT OF NOWHERE and passes me.
i about had a heart attack.
WHERE DID HE COME FROM?
sheesh.
he was fast…. and wearing tights & cold weather gear…clearly a real runner… not a weirdo chasing me.
whatever… i was running too.
just way slower and at the end.

#32in44 is rockin!!!

happy monday to you!!

Gina in Louisville - What do you wear to stay warm when you go running and it is so cold?

Flower Patch Farmgirl - Andy Stanley.
Let’s put him on the “good” side of our list.
Not the peaches and pets side.

rachel b. - Seriously. Those glasses are adorable. Where did you find them?

Lisa M - Silly request, but can you share how you download those podcasts to your phone please?

Terri - I laughed out loud at work when I read about the other runner coming up behind you out of nowhere.

elizabeths - After reading about a dude coming up behind you out of no where do you ever worry about being abducted? Seriously, there is nothing out there and where would you go for help. Just sayin..but it is a beautiful site.

kris saia - Yes, it IS flat… but it’s also beautiful! We live in a hilly area around Topeka, but I’m coming to love the scenery of western Kansas. Very calming — It makes my blood pressure drop. 🙂

April R - thanks for taking time and sharing your tree, your family, and silly waffle dog in the face pictures.
thanks for sharing the sunrises and the beauty of Kansas (I can’t see the sunrise in my neighborhood for the trees and houses).
And thanks for sharing ’bout the serious-fast-runner-out-of-nowhere dude
made me smile and lightened my heart (is that weird?) have a great week 🙂

tonya - i love how different the different parts of ks look! i’m about 100 miles ne of you in the flint hills…there’s nothin’ flat up here! 😉

Melissa - Andy Stanley is a favorite of mine. I listen to him during my walks. I listen to some sermons over and over. I listened today to Follow:fearless and Follow:followwear AGAIN. I go back to those over and over.
Crazy pic I cant imagine how flat it is out there. I live in the “endless mountains of PA”

Tracey Garcia - Love the pics of the kids all together—so weird to be reading your blog since Annie was in kindergarten and then to see them looking so grown up. Crazy how fast that happens!

Rachel S - Well, I’m a little bummed that my name isn’t Tanya S, but after hearing in a sermon that it’s much harder to “Rejoice with those who rejoice” than it is to “mourn with those who mourn”. So I’ll choose to be very happy for Tanya! 🙂
I hosted thanksgiving for the first time this year, so it was fun but exhausting. My husband and I also did our first Thanksgiving day 5K run/walk. He ran and I walked but ran at times. Even though I wanted to stay in bed that morning, it felt good!
Way to go on your #32!

Stacy P. - Love that you love Andy Stanley. Our family goes to a “strategic partner” church of North Point Ministries–meaning we have Andy on the big screen for our sermons each Sunday. He really is a great speaker….and very welcoming. The church is also that way. I download the sermons I’ve already heard to listen again. I can always learn something new.
And as for the flat Kansas picture—that is crazy. Bundle up and enjoy your runs! Love the blog. 🙂

Necole@seriouslysassymama - I got back to the gym today after a two week absence. I run at home when it is warm. I do not do cold weather. I love Christmas, but for the first time in my life, I hope it goes by quickly. I need to try one of those sermons while I am at the gym.

beth larson - just sayin hi and wanting you to know how much I love your photos and words and getting a peek at your sweet family life. xo
p.s. Kansas really IS flat isn’t it? haha

Heather S. - Those glasses look great on you. They are like, perfect for your face shape or something.
Looks like a great, relaxing Thanksgiving weekend!

My mind circles through thoughts like, could it be that I may never, ever do ANYthing important in my life??

jennibell - I made Pam’s Cheesecake for the first time (I KNOW, you’ve only been talking about it for YEARS) for my son’s birthday and it was an absolute HIT. My husband loved it so much that he went out and bought all the ingredients for a second one over Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I over-baked it and it wasn’t *as* good but since we know how good it CAN be I’ll try again soon. A new family “special treat” for sure. Thanks for sharing!!!

Sara - I lucked out and found the name of the antique store in an older post of yours and a link to it. I just called and they’re shipping a Fleming’s Flavor-Rich Coffee can to me in Virginia. So fun! I feel bad for asking them to ship out a $6 item, but the man was very nice about it and laughed when I told him I saw it on Meg Duerksen’s blog. He figured. 😉 I am so excited to give this to my friend named Fleming!

November 20, 2013 Filed in antiques,health & fitness,SHOP

IMG_1312fabric stacks are everywhere at the Craft House.
big projects are underway.
i am overwhelmed and excited at the same time.
i will tell you about very soon!
IMG_1316this is pretty much the happiest photo i have ever taken.
ha ha ha
i snapped this picture of fabrics at Joann’s… rainbows are everywhere!
IMG_9450IMG_0631yesterday i found this afghan at one of our local antique stores.  🙂
the pink and lime green lured me in!IMG_0633this was the quilt i got at bearly makin’ it a few weeks ago.
it is one quilt square short on one entire side so it’s too small for a twin bed.
but the turquoise?!! oh my word.
IMG_0634i found this one a month or so ago at the thrift shop.
yep… $2.00!
it is a lap blanket… my favorite part is the use of taupe with the black.
rainbowi have been asked a million times to to show the full rainbow afghan that my friend Amy sent me.
it is the coolest blanket!
she found it at a garage sale for $1.00.
ONE DOLLAR!!!
insanity.
can you imagine the time it took someone to make this?! with the little pom poms?
it is beyond awesome.

IMG_0019annie asked me last night at bedtime… all tucked in and sleepy…

“do you think mom that sometime you can call the school and tell them i am sick and then we go to the craft house and make crafts all day?  and i could make you lots of coffee there.”
i said “wow that sounds like a really fun day! i do love when you make me coffee!”
she smiled with her sleepy face and said “i’m really good at making coffee.”

IMG_0397last week talby and i had a girls day after a dentist appointment.
i looked over at her and saw a young LADY instead of my little girl.
she is a breath of fresh air.
always smiling and kind to everyone… a peace keeper.

IMG_0619i made myself a chart.  🙂
1. a good excuse to use markers (NEW markers are the best!!)
2. i am no different than my 9 year old… needing a visible happy chart to keep me going.
3. i am two days in.  i am sore.  i did NOT want to go to bed last night but i did at exactly 11:16.
4. you can still join me even though you may not get 32 in 44 days.  You can make up your own goal for the end of the year and still use the hash tag #32in44 in Instagram so we can be a team together!  even if it’s the only one you do… ANY workout is better than no workout!

IMG_0137and lastly for this wednesday post…

MY SHOP!
there are lots of pillows in the shop right now but that is all there will be for quite awhile.
like… for months.
so now is the time to grab them because they will be gone.

🙂

pillow2pillow1AND i have a million or so vintage maps!
there is every state… most countries and a few really beautiful continent maps.
i have a soft map for a pretty map.
mapsAND i have a discount code right now… HOLIDAY10.

10% off your entire order.
🙂

 

ok…. it is now time for the 3rd of 32 workouts.
and LOUD music!

tammy - i, too, love your rainbow blanket! what a jewel for only $1! i happened across the pattern for the blanket and thought i would share it with you.

Steffi - Your comment is awaiting Moderation – what does this meaning?

have I said something wrong? I’m really sorry 🙁 My englisch is not so goodn 🙁

Steffi

jodie - i just read Julies comment -mowing lawns??!!!! – you are lucky lucky julie – i want to move to that part of the world!!!!how bout’ shoveling snow meg? counts?
ps – your girls are pretty awesome

Steffi - Dear Meg,

i´m from Germany and i read your blog for two years now and it is an everyday enrichment for me! I love to read about you and your Family!

Since a long time I already search a certain material of amy butler. It is the Number 9 of your pillow cases. The one with flowers in turquoise/pink and the pink/White Chevron on the back.
Can you tell me the Name of the fabric, please!
This would be really nice.

Many greets from Germany
Steffi

Tanya - I love Annie.

meg duerksen - it is three different sets of key hooks from target that are screwed into the wall next to each other. 🙂

diane - Hi…Love your blog. On the picture above with Annie, there’s jewelry hanging up….what is it hanging on? I’ve made something simular but can’t find a sturdy enough backing for my corkboard. Any recommendations?

Tracey - The turq quilt might be too small for a bed but that makes it perfect for your sofa! And a nap!!!I have a stack of quilts, on an old school desk, in our family room for sofa naps—love them!!! I’ve done my 3 workouts this week. I prefer 1st thing in the morning (before I get sidetracked) but I persevered and got in done at 2:00, finished just in time to go and pick up kids from schools.

Amy K. - NOOOOO!!!! It looks like I am too late for that awesome U.P. map. One of my people would have LOVED it as her Christmas gift. =(

Julie - What a wonderful colourful post. I would love to visit your antique stores for the fabulous finds you get. Does mowing the lawns count as a workout – if so I have done 2/44 this week.

mary - Hi Meg! I am trying to order some of those gorgeous shams but my shopping cart keeps emptying!!! Please help! thanks!!!

Kimberlee Jost - Such good stuff.
🙂

Linda - Always love your posts! Thanks you for the rainbows!!

Heidi Jo the Artist - Oh my, Annie… That quote almost breaks my heart, and brings tears to my eyes, because I’m afraid you said no. Take that day with Annie; you won’t regret it one bit! And the things she can learn from you, her mother=priceless. And the things you can learn from her too=priceless. My nephew died suddenly years ago, and that changed me forever. Our days ARE numbered. I wish that everyone could have the best relationship with their child/children. I believe school gets in the way of that. Family isn’t put first, unfortunately. People (especially the gov’t) think learning is more important than relationships, and that learning won’t happen as well, at home. Parents don’t trust themselves, because they were taught to not trust themselves growing up. In fact, I believe, learning happens even better when it is from someone we love, trust, and look up to. You know I could go on and on, and this is just my two cents, as you know! Anyhow, I finally ordered something sewn from your shop today! Truth be told, I was a little bit disappointed that I didn’t get one of those cool rainbow sweatshirts for my daughter awhile back (we are rainbow fans here too!) they sold out fast, and I was online right when your shop opened!?! Oh heck, I wish they had come in my size!! But I’m sure my daughter will love a squirrel pillow case, just as much! We have a few “pet” squirrels in our backyard that she has named. 😉 And $1 for that rainbow blanket, that is cRaZY good!

Amy - Megan, it makes my heart so happy to know that you love your rainbow blanket. As soon as I saw it, I thought of you. And that’s a very good thing, thoughts of you.

Kari - I LOVE all of the color!! Where did you get the colorful Ikat fabric from?!? 🙂

#32in44

November 18, 2013 Filed in health & fitness

BLOGstripRNBW1000

there are now 44 days left in 2013, including today.
i lost my fitness mojo back in september with a pinched nerve in my back which killed my summer workout program that i had kicked butt on.
add in a LOT of work this fall and several sports for kids and cold weather hitting and i have come to halt.

until today.
with 44 days left in the year…
i am going to get 32 workouts in the next 44 days.
period.
that is monday – friday for the rest of the year.  (which is only 44 days)
on black friday… i will move my workout to saturday.
on christmas… i will move my workout to the saturday after.

i am going back to writing down what i eat so i can SEE it.
i do not like to write “5 double stuf oreos” on paper.    (when we all know it was really 9)
so i am writing it down and watching calories, protein, carbs and fat and drinking lots of water.

AND i am going to get more sleep.
having a teenager who won’t go to bed every. single. night. makes this difficult.
also… having a brain that won’t shut off makes this tough.
my strategy is going to be setting an alarm and shutting off the internet at 10:30 every night.
that makes the teenager  have no reason to be awake anymore and lets me STOP on pinterest, IG and email.
and then i will go to bed…lights out by 11:15.
it sounds simple enough but i PROMISE you this will be much harder than eating well or working our monday-friday.

 

i found a blog called Nutrition Stripped that is pretty and full of healthy recipes.
ae5f389b4ca5858fba208211e4354d8a
like this green smoothie!

another blog… Undressed Skeleton.     i like her ideas.
tumblr_inline_mw0dgvmSb31qgeygd
i am going to try this one for sure!

 

have you seen this book It’s All Good?  do you think i should order it?  let me know.gwyneth-paltrow-its-all-good-cookbook

3346773530ba674f83f377cfb3821705
a friend gave me this Kitchen Garden Cookbook and it is G O R G E O U S.
it makes you want to eat beautiful healthy food.
i highly recommend it.  🙂

1e03d09a277d6b516a5683887cc8e644-1
this book Salad of the Day  seems like a great idea… i mean with 365 options?
surely i could find something in here that i like.
i don’t have it but i think i may need it.
96cdaba7851a76ba9ed4742402384640cd574ecdd8f4c1cbee82f48b507c9a8bd788054f4314baedc9ab01ce7c47a1b6
of course… new shoes always help keep me motivated… for awhile at least.
i designed the neon cheetah ones at nike.com.
i love them but the money… boo.   why so much $$ nike?!!
and the other two i saw at ladyfootlocker.com
not in my size… of course.
i will just keep looking for the perfect pair.

do you know of other blogs i should check out for fitness/health inspiration?

do you want to take the 32 in 44 challenge (that i just made up)?

lets do it together so we don’t eat every christmas cookie we see
and get too busy with the holidays to workout!!

#32in44

ready?

GO.

alyssa - I have Gwinnie’s cookbook. you can borrow it. I haven’t gotten around to making anything but Kale chips from it yet. But I think it has some good looking recipes. I’ll let you know, if I ever get around to making something!

Melissa - I love this! I have made myself committ to a mile a day right now as I too slacked on fitness due to a super busy election season, so now need to somehow get back. Read about the mile a day deal. Love your sleep deal as I too struggle with going to bed on time.

Becky - I’m joining up… a week late, but better late than never, right?! I will be out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday, so I am going to aim for 28 in 37, which is every Monday-Saturday that I will be home until the new year, minus Christmas day. I started this morning, and I already feel better! Thanks for the inspiration and the kick in the pants, Meg! Oh, and don’t bother with that cookbook. I know a lot of people have told you already, but it’s pretty disappointing.

Lauren - One more…mywholefoodlife.com. Greate eats for sure!:-)

Lauren - You’ve got this Meg!:-) Two of my most favorite blogs are detoxinista.com and ohsheglows.com. Detoxinista has simple straight forward recipes that are clean and delicious. Her dessserts are really good. I made her coconut flour pumpkin bars last night. They are gluten, dairy, and sugar free and to die for! They taste just like pumpkin pie sans crust and all of the junk.They are fantastic! Ohsheglows is a vegan site. While I don’t eat dairy, I am not vegan (I eat @ 80-90% veggie), but I LOVE her recipes. Think vegan “Rolos” made with date caramel and dark chocolate and “Twix”. I made her Italian “bean balls” last week served over spaghetti squash, and they were really good. All of my kids (6, 4, 2) really liked them. While some things may be more labor intensive, I find it well worth the investment of time. And for shoes, check 6pm.com  They have THE best deals on a myriad of items. I look every day to see what’s marked down. I look forward to checking in our your progress. I love your blog. It is a happy place for me. Thanks for sharing ypur heart and life and for being a light in this world!

Blessings,

Lauren

McKel Hill, MS, RD, LDN | Nutrition Stripped - Thank you so much for sharing! Your blog is amazing 🙂

Julie - Good for you, Meg! Have you ever done a craft afternoon for girls around your daughters’ ages? That is my dream — to finish my basement as a craft class space. My Ella (age 9) would definitely attend one in KS!

certifiednutritionomaha.com is my sister’s site, and she is a registered dietitian and sports nutritionist. She has a link on her site for her blog, which is filled with lots of tips and tricks. She also offers a personalized fitness and diet plan, customized for you and sent via email (she calls it the “NAME Plan, and there is a fee for it).

Or come visit us up north (in Omaha!) — I’d love to host!

meredith - It’s All Good, I got it from the library. It has got a lot of good recipes. Fairly simplistic once you’ve preped. Hope you’re doing well with your goal!

Rachel Schindler - YES…buy the book “It’s all Good”. I can’t say I love every recipe, but her muffin recipes, are sooooo good. The sweet potato and five-spice muffins and the banana date muffins. Per my cooking habits, I did not use the gluten free flour or the almond milk. I used regular flour and regular milk and for the five-spice powder, I replaced that with what I had in the cupboard, good ole, cayenne pepper. Yum, Yum…

Tanya - Mind Body Green is a great site for all things health and wellness. Enjoy 😀 http://www.mindbodygreen.com/

Tiffany - I just breezed through the comments and nobody chuckled in on “i do not like to write “5 double stuf oreos” on paper. (when we all know it was really 9)” – CMON THAT WAS GOOD!! My personal vice is Chips Ahoy and I no longer bring them in the house, damn you Nabisco. Good Luck with #32in44…

Dana - I so needed to read this post. I love your blog! I refuse to let the rest of this year pass and have to resolve again on New Years Eve to start eating better and exercising. This challenge will let me start New Year already on right track! Thank You for challenge!

jodie - hey! thanks for the motivation…..i am with you!

jennyonthespot - It’s like we’re twins (I flatter myself)… I need to write down what I eat as well. I don’t like to write down the bad stuff, but also, it’s kinda funny how I don’t realize how much even the little things add up.

I too have lost my workout mojo. I will really, rilly try – I worked out yesterday! Guess I’ll work hard to get something in today. Honestly, it will be hard when around Christmas when we are on the road. Seems we always have to rush to get on the road, and there is never time to get exercise – which is when we need it the most (after sitting for 10 or more hours!)

Elizabeth - My friend Sarah Kopf (I’ve never met her but I love her) started writing a blog about her journey back to health through fitness. Her son has battled leukemia twice and during that terrible time she gained a lot of weight. She is now down dozens of pounds and most of all is happy. She is so funny, smart, and driven and is shear inspiration. I don’t know anyone who could survive all that she has and still be standing with a smile on her face and joy in her heart every day. You can read her blog at http://www.thinfluenced.com. Good luck!!! XOXO Elizabeth, Long Beach, CA

Heather - I like the blog peanut butter fingers!

Tami Peters - I am up for your challenge! Lets rock the rest of 2013. 🙂

Have a great day!

Tami

Rachel - Good luck! You can totally do this. And when you are done, if you have any extra mojo, you can send it my way.

Carrie - I have always been very athletic. I am a great racewalker but I have always wanted to run a marathon rather then racewalk it. A year ago I sat out to run a 1/2 marathon. Running has always been part of my work out routine, just not that long. I tried and tried and had continuing knee pain. Then I twisted my knee and my knee cap popped out of place (fun) about 6 weeks ago. Then I found out that I have avascular necrosis of my knee, missing cartilege, and a patellar tilt. I am permanently sidelined from running, in a few months I may be able to add in some small runs but never anything more then a 5K. I am in a funk now, I am sad. It is beyond silly, but it was something that I loved. I have PT to focus on and I can still racewalk but I so wanted to run. For the first time in my life I am being lazy and eating junk (I do not even like the stuff). I need to get out of this funk. I will, hopefully soon!

Kerrin - You go girl!! My healthy blog recommendation is for Leanne Vogel of Healthfulpursuits.com or maybe .ca I can’t remember. If you google Leanne Vogel you will find her. Her chocolate mint shake and apple cinnamon overnight oats are huge favourites here, especially with my eight year old. Leanne is brilliant!!!
Good luck Meg, I know you can do it!

Amy W - Check out PBfingers.com for some great recipes and workouts.

Amy K. - PLEASE stop saying “only 44 days left in the year!” It is giving me a panic attack about everything there is to do between now & then, in only 44 days!!!!! 😉 Also, I highly recommend your new internet policy. I’m the only one who needs it around here, but I am getting so. much. more. sleep. since I stopped surfing after the kids are in bed! There just isn’t really a reason to stay up, or if there is, it is getting stuff done rather than wasting time on pinterest. Good luck on 32 in 44!!

Samantha - There is a blog called Peanut Butter Fingers that is absolutely awesome! The blogger, Julie, posts a lot about recipes and workouts! Very motivating!

Routhie - This blog: http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/ has been incredibly helpful to me. She has maintained a weight loss of 135 lbs for almost 5 years (I think) now. She’s down to earth and posts recipes, motivation, and for someone so young, a lot of wisdom. This past summer was great as she helped her mom start her own weight loss. Hope you check her out and good luck with your own end of year mission. 🙂

Vicki - I’m up for 25/44. That’s my lofty goal! and you can read a few of the recipes from Gwyneth’s book on amazon… Maybe preview a couple of those and see if you like the vibe? I got her “My Father’s Daughter” book at the library and liked it okay, but didn’t end up buying it. This one looks better to me, somehow. and just so you know, going to tap dance classes TOTALLY is going to count as a work-out for me. Good luck out there!

Angela - My oldest is 22 and I have 2 younger kids, years ago my husband and I started taking cell phones, lap tops, kindles and all that jazz every school night at 10:30, it doesn’t guarantee that the stinkers will go to sleep but at least it’s not because of their gadgets. I have always struggled with turning off my brain at night, no solution for that though. I’ve tried praying my way through it and that works sometimes.

And I would love to join you in the 32 in 44 but I already committed to being chunky the rest of the year. 😉

Renee - ahhh. 32 in 44 sounds hard. does lugging my 10 month old up and down 3 flights of stairs twice a day with the stroller in hand to go for a walk count as a workout!?!?! 🙂

if so, i’m in!

Rachel - p.s. my sleep & energy has greatly improved. I wake up earlier feeling energized and hit the sheets much earlier!

Rachel - Meg,
its easy to fall off the workout wagon especially when life gets busy. I like your pledge! I recently got back into hot yoga and it really was the icing on the cake that I needed. I’ve been an athlete my entire life (collegiate volleyball then cycling and running) I really recommend it if you can find a place. I’m sure Wichita has a studio. I saw change in tone and strength within 3 visits. I am on my third week of 3 times a week and I am shocked at the results. I’ve still been eating sugar and drinking delicious cocktails but I feel so much better! Plus it centers you and is “me” time! Jump on the train you wont regret it! Best of luck!

Rachel
http://www.revolvingmarket.blogspot.com

Mollie - I highly recommend the site http://dashingdish.com.

Sher - I’m in with your for the 32 in 44. Have had a great year working out and running but since the beginning of September it’s been a struggle.
As far a sleep. I wish I could stay up late, but at 9pm I start turning into a pumpkin and usually end up in bed by 10-10:30. Of course i’m usually wide awake by 5:30 which is frustrating on a weekend when you’d like to maybe sleep in a little. It’s also tough being a morning person and married to a night owl.

Tracey - I’ve fallen off the fitness wagon a bit too. I’ve been working out 5 days a week since May and lost almost 40 pounds! But in the last month I have had a sinus infection that won’t go away and it is hard to get the interest and energy to workout when my head hurts. But I weighed myself yesterday and gained two pounds. No WAY!! I’ve worked too hard to get this weight off, I’m not going back!!! So today I got up at 6 and got my workout done before I took the kids to school. I’m shooting for 5 days a week for the rest of the year too!

Stephanie - I have the 365 Salads book and L oVe it. Such a beautiful, beautiful book. Salad is my favorite food, so I am always looking for more. Another book I love that is not a diet book but is full of healthy food is Jerusalem: a Cookbook. Sigh. Combines my love of history, anthropology, and awesome, real food.

Lee Ann - You’ve got this Meg! I’ve renewed my strategies as well for the final days of this year. I keep telling myself “every calorie counts”. I’m notorious for one bite here, one bite there. I checked the Paltro book out from our library. Some good stuff, but for me it’s not worth the $ and I wouldn’t buy it. Just my thoughts.

Karina - I’m in!! I lost my summer mojo October 1st when the weather changed. 🙁 I CANNOT wait until spring to get started again. I’m getting too old 😉 for taking extended workout breaks. Time to get moving!!

Tracy - All 4 of my teens go to bed after me! I don’t care…they get tired and go to bed eventually. If they’re tired in the morning, I won’t take any whining! Haha! So mean, I know!

I don’t know if this will help you, Meg, but I get up reallllly early so by night I’m reallllly tired. I want to go to bed. Maybe I’m making to too simple, but it works for me!

Jenna - I’m in!
Getting the workouts in during the holidays will make me feel good.
Don’t order GP’s cookbook…she’s a snob!

Lisa Q - Meg,
I have the Gyneth Paltrow book and it is really good. She attacks her recipes from a getting healthy point of view…not necessarily losing weight. She has recipes grouped around various eating plans (Paleo, gluten free….vegetarian) Lots of great salad dressings and salad ideas. Great recipes if you are cutting out sugar. I think you’d like it…maybe see if your library has it before you spend money on it. Thanks for sharing with us…always inspiring.

lisa

tara pollard pakosta - I need to be working out, but I cannot find the time for myself right now. I so want to do this, maybe I ought to just do videos at home? (caring for my sick hubby who can’t be left unattended due to seizures from GBM brain tumor). I think I am going to join in! I have got to get a workout in somehow!
tara

Mia - I can second not to order GP’s cookbook. Loved the first one; her second one is gathering dust on my bookshelf.

For fitness/recipe inspiration, have you tried: Kath Eats Real Food http://www.katheats.com/

I also enjoy Healthy Tipping Point. http://www.healthytippingpoint.com/

I hear ya on the exercise front. Was running 6 days/week this summer and then had an ankle issue in Sept. Am bitter that I missed the most glorious running months in New England! Good news is that I’m back in my running shoes. Bad news is that it’s supposed to be 28 degrees here this weekend. AAGH!

Linda - I love this idea! Sleep is my problem too. I feel lucky if I get about 5 and a half hours. Which means I’m basically sleep deprived. My 3 preteen boys won’t go to bed!!!! But I like this idea! Thanks again for the inspiration!

Kimberlee Jost - Get it, girl.
But don’t order GP’s cookbook.
🙂

Becky - Well, this is great timing! I got up early to exercise for the first time in a couple of months…I’m with you! I’m going to go for 30 days…giving myself a little grace 🙂

I second the person who recommended Iowa Girl Eats! She’s one of my favorite food bloggers. Her recipes are really delicious and mostly easy. I would cook her stuff a lot more than I already do if my people weren’t so picky…

Jessica - I am on my own fitness/weight loss journey. It is so hard! I am joining you in your just made up challenge. 32 workouts in 44 days is so doable. Hard, but doable.

Kathy - yes! I will do this too! I NEED to do this! Ever since school started and I started a new job I have been so busy and have neglected exercise … but I KNOW there are moments in my day where I could squeeze it in … so yes, I WILL do this!

Maggie - I am so looking for a way to make some changes to my health and lifestyle. I am a stay at home mom to a 4 year old, a 22 month old and an 8 week old. I also work a few evenings a week. I find it nearly impossible to find time to exercise. A gym membership or a treadmill isn’t in the budget and living in Iowa it’s starting to get pretty chilly. I find myself shoveling in bites of whatever is left on my kids’ plates instead of thoughtfully making good food choices. And I’m not sure getting more sleep at this point is a reality for me 🙂 But, I’ve got to do something because my energy level stinks and I’m not happy with the way I look or how my clothes fit. Anyone out there have tips for how to make small changes in this season of life where so much of my focus is on my small children? Thanks!

stephany - I AM IN!
I weight the most I have ever weighed (except for pregnancies) and I don’t like it one bit!
I need accountability!!
Please keep me accountable…I will do the same for you!
(I swear that there is something about turning 38 that added all the weight)
xoxo!!
#32in44 yahoo!

April R - I’m in. I want to be healthier so I can bless my family and enjoy them better.
Thanks for the inspiration.
(and I feel you about getting to bed at a decent time w the lights out – much harder than eating better and exercising)

Flower Patch Farmgirl - I feel like I should get on board with the sleep thing. Probably.
But 11:15 your time is 10:15 my time….does this mean no more late night texts of monumental importance? Because I just can’t stomach that.

I want to check out that salad cook book. I LOVE SALAD!

(I also love chocolate chip oatmeal bars, which I’m making AS WE SPEAK.)

Go get ’em, Tiger!

jodi @ back40life - yes and yes – we dragged the treadmill up from the basement 3 or so weeks ago and put it beside our recumbent bike and have been trying to exercise together every morning before the day gets started. So far, we’ve been very successful. I have always HATED to run, and have always said I would only do it if a bear was chasing me, but I think I’m just ready for a change. I still don’t *love* the exercise, but I do feel so much better once I’ve done it, and that’s helped me continue. I’m all in for #32in44 – I know as the holidays heat up and our biz cranks up it won’t be easy, but it will be the best. Great encouragement!

Juliana - Love this idea…taking good care if ourselves, instead of a season of excess and regret!

Check out iowagirleats.com…she has some good treadmill workouts for when it’s really cold outside, but we really love her recipes! Healthy, usually very easy, and fabulous flavors!

Amy M - if you have a kohl’s nearby, they had some super cute nike running shoes the other day…LOTS of neon! :0)

katchen - this morning i am about to walk out the door to the gym. i really needed this! I have not worked out since september. Ugh. But I am up. And going. And now I will be doing your challenge. It is my birthday month & I am going to celebrate by being in charge of my health. (i ate cheesecake last night which is like fifty oreos I bet). Thanks for the encouragement. Here we go!

Kate - I will be joining you for 32 in 44! I mostly do bikram yoga and I love it! I find a lot of motivation from fitness and yoga Instagram pages. I also recently ordered the new blogilates fit journal which is so cute http://www.blogilates.com/motivational-2/the-best-5-ways-to-lose-weight-blogilates-fit-journal-is-here

On December first the blogilates 12 week healthy eating plan starts and I will be recording everything in the journal! I hope to become more toned 🙂
Good luck 🙂

tara - 32 in 44…whoooooo hoot! go girl.
i’m with you…writing it down makes a HUGE difference.
i lost weight when i did it.
need to get on that again. my thighs would thank me.

ktg - I am joining you 32 in 44. My workouts ceased with a fall change of schedule (really since summer vacation overdose on fruit drinks, down hill from there)I did like the interval training, run for bursts then walk fast.I wanted to train for a half marathon ,but the interval training made me feel great after doing not as sore.

Some things helping me lately: herbal tea with no sweetener I’m enjoying! Meal planning, going to bed extremely early which is a huge change for my night owl tendencies but worth how great I feel in the morning. I’m looking for fitness blog inspiration too:)

Heidi Jo the Artist - I surely should be sleeping. I would never win at that one (getting to bed early that is) because I’m definitely a night owl and a bit of an insomniac. I am trying harder at working out and eating healthier though, totally failed at both of those last week, but this is the week to get going again for me too! One person that has inspired me is Shay Carl on the ShayLoss channel on YouTube. So much so, that this fall, I have been getting REAL in front of the video camera as well, which is not my fav., but I feel if I can help someone through working through my own health goals, then it is worth it. Feel free to check out some of my videos here: http://www.youtube.com/user/HeidiJotheArtist/videos Also, that salad book looks especially awesome. Maybe check out Gwyneth’s book from the library to see if you like it first?? And new workout shoes are always fun! 32 in 44, Let’s do this!

Gillian - I have a bedtime alarm set so I’m aware it’s bedtime. Otherwise, I’ll happily stay up all night.

new ornaments

November 16, 2013 Filed in awesome bloggers,things i love

****************************************************************** 

every year i get one ornament for each of my kids.
the thought was that when they leave the house they could use them on their own tree.
when they were little i liked picking out ornaments that matched a big milestone that year like a bicycle when they learned to ride, a shoe ornament when they learned to walk, piano for the first year of piano, etc.
now they are older and all their ornaments would be sports related and we have enough of those by now.
so i was so happy to get Lisa Leonard’s new ornaments for 2013.

Tanya - I love those.
I let my kids pick an ornament every year. A couple nights ago my 4yo girlie picked a fuschia glittered reindeer with a feather boa. She’s 4 and she’s already cooler than me. 😉

Renee - my mom did this for us too!! and i got married and we had our very own first christmas tree. and it was SO fun to have a box of special ornaments. it is fun to pull them out every year and think “oh this is from that year i played basketball… this is from the year i graduated high school… etc.” This is my first daughter’s first christmas and I plan to start the same tradition. Maybe I’ll use these Lisa Leonard ones 🙂 yay!! thanks!

Mindy - Cute ornaments from Lisa L. I love how you have chosen ones to represent milestones over the years. They will be able to remember those events for years to come – how special!

Emily @ DavenportDIY - Love these, so much!!

meg duerksen - she said she restocked them today!

Julie - I do that for my children too – I am sure that one day when they move out, they will cringe at some of the ornaments they picked though.

Rach - Yup. Just ordered a bunch for Christmas gifts. Yay!

Iris - My parents still get us each an ornament every year and I’m 36. We do the same for our kids too. They get them in a mini stocking on Dec 26th with other little goodies. I went to the website to order ours bc I just love them. The letters I need are out of stock

Tara - Those are really pretty! I’ll have to check those out. I, too, purchase an ornament each year for my kiddos.

Laura Kelley - My mom did the same thing for me and one of my wedding gifts was all my ornaments wrapped up. I now do this for my littles.

Southern Gal - I love the ornaments. I did the same thing for my children and bought them ornaments each year. My older two are grown and moved out. Guess what? They left the ornaments. I still buy for the 11yo, so my tree is packed full. Maybe one day they will take them home. 😉
