Just a little monthly housekeeping (both literally and figuratively speaking)

1. I've spent the past two days spring cleaning the kid's bedrooms & bathroom.  All I have to say is...GROSS!  Not only are my children possibly the nastiest little tweens walking the planet, but I thought I would have burned more calories with all the work & effort.  Nope.  Yesterday....1,733 calories burned.  That's it.  Do you have any idea how many times I walked up and down the stairs, lifted, reached, scrubbed, hauled bags of Goodwill stuff, etc.?  How disappointing! 
2. I was taking  some time to plan ahead for next week, including planning out my exercise schedule.  That's when I noticed I royally messed up my summer/fall half marathon training plan.  Ugggg....there's nothing like having to go back and re-do what you thought was finished. lol  Here's a link to the new one for those of you following my crazy running adventures.  Oh, and I hired someone to give my running blog a new look.  Check it out when you have a moment.  I'm looooving the new coffee / pink theme she created!
3. I've set a few goals for June.  Simple stuff.  Realistic stuff.  Most of it is food related, but I did add in a few others.  The most important one to me is walking.  I'd like to add more walking into my life.  Probably sounds strange considering I'd really rather run.  However, I love taking walks with my husband.  My goal is to squeeze in 20 miles worth in June.  Our neighborhood walks are 3 miles (or more) long.  If we stick with it just a couple of times per week...I'll hit my goal easy peasy!
4. I ran 100.09 miles in May!!!!!  That's two months in a row of hitting the 100 mile mark.  Who knew that I would go from 0 to 100 in two years?  Woohoo!
5. Last, but not least. I gained back almost all of the weight I lost last week. Sigh. I did really well with food & exercise. I wrote down every bite I consumed, and kept up with all of my workouts. Unfortunately, this is my "bloaty week", and MAN did it kick me in the pants this time around. [I feel like a fat little roly poly bug stuffed in a sausage casing.] As if things weren't already bad enough, my dinner last night was way too salty which makes me bloat even worse. I'm not letting it break my stride, though! I know I will un-bloat soon, and have a better weigh in next week. :)
