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 ...

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

what's going on

We're starting to try some rice cereal. I've been pretty sporadic about it, but after his 6 month appointment (which is NEXT WEEK!) I'll start putting "solids" into our every day routine.      Canon has found his feet! Now every diaper change is just the most fun, trying to get those toes into his mouth!   Canon is officially rolling over, both sides! This particular picture happened when I had gone into my bedroom for a hot second and came out to find him on his tummy! He can do it regularly now, though he doesn't love being on his tummy and rolls back over quickly.  Other things going on: Canon is officially sleeping unswaddled!! I guess around 2 weeks ago, we started again with the one arm out and went from there. He now sleeps in a fleece sleep sack with arms. I'm not going to lie, the process wasn't quite as daunting as I had originally thought, but I think that is because we waited until he was really ready.  ...
