Now I’m usually not a fan of these movies, however they are putting my favorite actors in them now. (James McAvoy) So I actually want to see this one. Maybe after seeing this, it will gain my interest enough to see the rest. My husband is ecstatic that I want to see his comic book movies, he doesn’t even care that i will be ogling over the actor, whatever gets me watching it with him, haha.

A RUNNER!  I have decided I want to take up running again. I truly enjoyed it way back when I was young, and had a figure, haha. I remember how good it felt each day I was able to run just a few minutes longer before needing to switch back to a fast paced walk. Then all of a sudden I was running the whole thing.  There was such an amazing feeling to be able to breathe (not hyperventilate) and run.  It was so freeing, and exhilarating. Plus I wasn’t all flabby, and exhausted like I am now.  I miss that, and I have decided I want it back.

I have already begun the task by taking one small step at a time. I first started with my eating habits. I am eating less, but more often.  I am making smarter food choices, believe it or not McDonalds and Wendy’s no longer seem appealing. (Even during PMS I’m SHOCKED!) I never thought that day would come.  I also don’t find it necessary to hoover ‘everything’ on my plate, once my tank screams “I’M FULL, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO MORE FOOD PLEASE!”

My next step was actually getting on the treadmill, shooting for 30 minutes on an incline of 2 and speed walking. Then I pushed it to intervals of jogging, but no real pattern, just when I feel I can do it, and back to walking when I need to. I aim to get on their Monday thru Friday, breaking on the weekend since the schedule is different.  I have made it past the first week which is usually the hurdle for me.  Once the weekend comes and goes, I never get back on the treadmill again.  But I did get back on it all week, so far making this my second week.

I decided my reward once I can actually run more than 5 minutes at a time with out hyperventilating will be a new workout wardrobe from Running Skirts.com.  For now I am forced to use my old junk clothes.

Why share this with all of you?  I decided to share this with you, because now I will feel more obligated to not be a failure at it.  Also because I am going to need A LOT of support and encouragement from all of my loving followers.  So wish me luck!

For all you gamers out there who are addicted to purple like me… You can now change the buttons on your controller, YAY!

To get your purple buttons check out Modz Armory. The whole set is on sale now for $9.97 and comes with everything you see here, screwdriver and all.  It is regularly $14.97 so hurry up and get yours.  There are other colors available.

I am also going to be taking a friends advice to spray paint my controller when I take it apart.  I’ll post pics & ‘how to’ of that when its completed. (and only if it looks good LOL)

This past Saturday was one of our Girl’s Day events.  My best friend and I decided to make the simple act of bathing suit shopping a Girls Day event, we have to get them bathing suits anyway but this way we make it special and its not at any additional cost.  So we got our little ones and headed to the mall where they got to pick out their new suits at the Disney Store complete with new beach bag. We then let them play in the at playground, ride on the carousel, and then we all went to lunch.  It was awesome the girls LOVED it.

I apparently have my daughter brainwashed for Starbucks (hehe), because she insisted on going there to get her little chocolate milk instead of at the vendor in the middle of the mall.

Yes I sprung for the hat too, she wanted it so bad and she just looked too cute in it.  She has one wacky sense of style as you can tell from the outfit she picked out to wear that day.  (purple shirt, sage green capris, and red socks.)  A battle that just isn’t worth fighting in the morning.  She tells me she’s a designer. (I think she’s color blind but hey what are ya gonna do…)

Welcome to the 46th edition of “Meet Me On Monday!” Blogging  is a funny thing…we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read  and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, “who is  this person!?”  I know them…but yet I don’t know them!  I want  to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great  way for all of us to “meet” each other!

Every Sunday Never Growing Old will post five get to know you questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we  can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!

If you have a question suggestion please email me at: nevergrowingold@hotmail.com and if I use your question I will give you a shout out! 

Questions:

1.  What is your favorite bagel flavor?

Have you ever tried making home made meatballs? The only problem I ever incur is trying turn them over when they are cooking or picking them up when they are done. I want meatballs but all I end up with is crumbled meat to add to my pasta. Then I came across these very handy tongs, what a life saver, love them!

To get yours: $12, williamssonoma.com.

How adorable are these for your outdoor table?  Ok I know they are not purple, but I love ladybugs too, and though the weather has not allowed for too many outdoor dinning opportunities, I just couldn’t help but share with you guys.  Someday soon summer might actually come and these will come in quite handy over here on the East Coast.
They are $10 for the set of four at Bay Village Store.com
