I used to be a huge crafter. When I was growing up we were always doing crafts at home, I had many a puff paint shirt, scrapbook page, or hand painted jewelry box. Growing up when we were out and about we used to say "That looks interesting" as a code for something that we could make on our own. Since the kiddo has come along I just haven't found the time or energy to be crafty.
Well my sister and I spent all day at JoAnn's today. We were looking at patterns and fabric to make ourselves some cute outfits. I picked out some really cute patterns to do a few Disneybound outfits and just some really cute dresses and skirts and I picked out the perfect fabric for all of them. Well I came home today and decided that I would practice with one of the skirt patterns with some old fabric I had. I cut everything out and sewed it all together, then I went to put it on......what a disaster. I am currently a M in tops and a 12 in pants. I decided to purchase patterns up to a size 14 and I even made the skirt in a 14 thinking it was better to practice in a size up. It did not fit at all. I was so sad. I took my measurements and apparently my boobs are a size 16, my waist is a size 18 and my hips are a size 20 WTF!!!! I am honestly heartbroken. The hubby took me back to the store and we returned all the other patterns but of course they didn't have an of the ones I bought in the larger sizes. Now I have all this amazing fabric with no patterns. I am going to go back next week to see if I can find the same patterns in a size up or some new patterns that will work, but if I have to buy new patterns will I have enough fabric or do I have to buy more. Ugh!!
Sorry I know it seems really silly to be upset over something so minuscule it was just that I was so excited to get back into something I really love doing and I feel like it got crapped on.

Training
I know I said I would do a post about my workouts every Sunday but life kind of got in the way so I am doing it now.
I had a pretty good week last week. I got a lot of workouts in and I am feeling pretty good about it. I did the elliptical all week and then we went for a long run as a family.

Monday - 2.43 miles in 30 minutes
Tuesday - 2.50 miles in 30 minutes
Wednesday - 2.49 miles in 30 minutes
Thursday - 2.53 miles in 30 minutes
Sunday - 6.6 miles in 1 hr 31 minutes
I have been really worried about doing the long runs and I haven't really done one in a few weeks since I got a sinus & ear infection but I was actually much faster than the hubby and kiddo. I had to force myself to slow down. I am refusing to weigh myself until April 2nd because I do not want to get into my head again and stop training. I also have been throwing in some weights a few days a week to try to help tone up a bit.
Here is to another good week of working out and reaching my goals.
