#1 here is my VLAWG after the triathlon

#2 I finally got my site back.  While I was on vacation my sites were flagged by badware.org as being malicious.  Nothing was wrong with them but I couldn’t access them via firefox, chrome, or safari until this morning when the flagging was lifted.  That was highly annoying!

#3 I am coming out of Mercury Retrograde (where I told everyone my head would be stuck in the sand) with some crazy velocity because the end of this week kick’s off my BIRTHDAY MONTH with my actual birthday on Friday. Really nothing extraordinary in reality with the end of this week having me photograph an event the night before, teach yoga the day of and after, then course marshal a marathon on Labor Day.

#4 On a much more personal note.  I have been hearing grumblings about me within Mamavation.  It is only human nature that a group of women will gossip and not say nice things especially after having a bad day, etc.  No biggie.  However if anyone does have any real issues with me I ask that you speak to me directly. My email is bodhibearinfo/gmail. Beyond that, have fun with the haterade if it is the silly, inconsequential kind.

This week also throws me back onto my training calendar. I have a 1/2 marathon 9 October. My long run this week is 9 miles according to it. Hmmm, we’ll see how that goes on Sunday. I am also still close on the heels of the handstand push-up. I want it this weekend!

For food I am eating mostly paleo for a couple of days. I have a pin-up photo shoot tomorrow and looking forward to that being over. It is something way out of my comfort zone but I am gonna do it. I can do it. This is how I’m starting off this birthday month.

I also found a great cookbook recently that I am playing around with…

I am loving it with the raw recipes, eco-friendly living tips, mindful living tips, etc. There is even two pages on how to get inside a coconut for those that don’t know how.

Meals this week? Breakfast oatmeal dolled-up, eggs hard boiled or poached, smoothies. Lunch of salads w/ lean protein or leftovers. Dinners….MON grilled chicken w/ salad, TUES slow cooked pork tacos, WED black eyed-peas, collards, and rice, THURS salad (night out), FRI (dunno but it is my bday), SAT (dunno but going out for a concert), SUN spring rolls, rice and lean protein.

And I love this week’s Mamavation Blogging Carnival! What safety precautions do you take with your workouts? Any special equipment when working out outdoors?

I have definitely been more slack in this department lately and need to return to my more cautious habits. #1 I don’t wear headphones working out outdoors so I can be more aware of my surroundings. I carry ID especially in my reflective harness if I run at sunrise or after dark. I love my reflective harness and also have a neon orange jacket with safety reflective features that I got from my running club as well as reflective Yanks for my shoes. Outside in the day I have a fuel belt to stay hyrdrated on longer runs as well as a hat to stay cool. I really need to map some new routes and give them to my hubby if I don’t make it home when expected (this is where I am lagging).

This post is sponsored by Go Sport ID and I’m writing this to be entered into a giveaway hosted by Mamavation.

Come back soon.  I’m going to be doing an Attune Foods Uncle Sam Giveaway later this week.

Have a wonderful week and Labor Day Weekend everyone!
