follow through friday

Look at me, actually posting on a Friday!

This week wasn't terrible, but I unfortunately didn't see any change on the scale, so I'm going to focus on what many others refer to as Non-Scale Victories.


I ran my 5k! Saturday afternoon was such a pleasant day that as I set out for my run I decided to just do it. I am so glad that I did! Running a 5k has been a goal of mine for quite some time and I am especially proud that I did it all by myself. 

Another great Kazaxe workout. Literally dripping sweat. 

I registered for a race! A group of women in my mommy meet-up group decided to sign-up, so I jumped on with them. The last, and only, actual race I've done was the Crescent City Classic 10k in New Orleans in April 2010. It was definitely time. 


The weather was once again ridiculous this week. We got snow all day Monday and it stayed in the 30's until Thursday. My only workouts this week were the run on Saturday and Kazaxe on Monday night. I will admit that while it has been difficult to find time to workout, I'm also not utilizing my time well. There were plenty of nights this week that I stayed in the apartment after Canon went to sleep which could have instead been spent at the gym. 

So, that is my goal for this upcoming week. From this afternoon (it's raining, btw) til next Friday naptime, I'd like to get in 4 workouts. If the weather is nice, that won't be so hard! I think my eating has been fine, still working on figuring out what foods keep me full the longest. I'd like to come back next Friday and be able to say that I cut out all sugar that week. That'd be a huge accomplishment. 

4 workouts and no sugar. Bring it!

Hoping to link up with these lovely ladies, who among many others, are providing me with lots of inspiration and motivation via their blogs and IG!

    You are awesome! Running a 5k and signing up for the race and being so honest about the good and bad parts of weight loss. You are an inspiration! Next week is in the bag!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
