Life Is Beautiful: August 2013
http://andrea-lifeisbeautiful.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
A blog about marriage, kids, cooking, and triathlon. Friday, August 30, 2013. One of Those Women. Oh well, time to get back to it. Just a few years ago, I could never imagined that I would be one of THOSE women. You know, those women who don't weigh themselves or obsess over calories, fat and carbs. Those women that go by how their clothes fit and how they feel to determine if they should cut out treats for a while. Those women without a weight problem. One of the others is Green Tea Extract - though it'...

http://andrea-lifeisbeautiful.blogspot.com/2014/12/dont-smash-your-face.html
A blog about marriage, kids, cooking, and triathlon. Monday, December 8, 2014. Don't Smash Your Face. Monday - Upper Body Strength Training and Swim Technique Work. I hadn't done P90X Shoulders and Arms for a while. I love Tony Horton. After working out with Tony and the fabulous Dreya Weber. 1c 1% milk (1.5c for men). 1/2 scoop protein powder (1 full scoop for men). 10g of BCAA powder (15g for men). Haven't heard of Branched Chain Amino Acids? Ever heard of the DOMS? Delayed onset muscle soreness? That'...

Life Is Beautiful: March 2013
http://andrea-lifeisbeautiful.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
A blog about marriage, kids, cooking, and triathlon. Wednesday, March 20, 2013. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe it's:. My inability to sleep. Training for a Marathon. Easter festivities and preparations. Or maybe I've just become a terrible grouch. Lately I have two times during the day that I just can't seem to pull out of my funk. Time #1 Wake-up until I drop the girls off at school. Time #2 4pm to 5:30pm. It's not the two little boys screaming through the closed up house (freaking WINTER) act...

Life Is Beautiful: June 2014
http://andrea-lifeisbeautiful.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
A blog about marriage, kids, cooking, and triathlon. Sunday, June 22, 2014. What a great week! On Monday, we went to spend some birthday money. Cameron and Susan's birthdays are only six weeks apart, so they both had cash burning a hole in their pockets! We went to Shopko and spent about an hour looking and looking at clothes, toys and accessories. Cameron wound up with a game and Susan opted for a PlayDough set that makes ice cream cones! Today has been fun, too! The kids loved it and its certainly some...

Life Is Beautiful: May 2013
http://andrea-lifeisbeautiful.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
A blog about marriage, kids, cooking, and triathlon. Tuesday, May 7, 2013. Despite the selfish storm of emotion that has been swirling around in my heart and mind this last couple of days, life does. Oh, and thank God that it does! I can't imagine the bitter mess I would be without our children to distract me. :) Today, we celebrated Cameron Allen's 4th Birthday. He is my baby. The last of 4 children. My sweet, sweet boy. I can never stay in my own thoughts when this cuteness is around. I almost felt lik...

Life Is Beautiful: Gearing Up
http://andrea-lifeisbeautiful.blogspot.com/2014/06/gearing-up.html
A blog about marriage, kids, cooking, and triathlon. Wednesday, June 4, 2014. Today is the day we start Carb Loading for our long course triathlon on Saturday. It always makes me snicker a bit to even say the words, because it's a greatly mis-understood concept. I didn't even truly understand the "why" and "how" until I trained for a Marathon. Unlike Micheal in this clip from "The Office" - the right time to carb load is NOT right before the start of the race! I'm getting nervous, watching the weather an...

A blog about marriage, kids, cooking, and triathlon. Sunday, October 26, 2014. I haven't written a thing since summer. I've been going through a "thing" that I haven't been quite willing to share.

Life Is Beautiful: The Week That Followed
http://andrea-lifeisbeautiful.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-week-that-followed.html
A blog about marriage, kids, cooking, and triathlon. Sunday, June 15, 2014. The Week That Followed. The week following our 70.3 triathlon was quite busy! We participated with our church's Vacation Bible School program which ran from 6 to 8pm each night Sunday through Friday. I didn't think we'd survive Sunday evening. Thankfully, my legs were only sore in my hips - poor David's feet where really really bothering him. Yah, me neither. Oh, but, I did it! Glad I was riding with my body guard! I am a wife an...

Life Is Beautiful: IronMorton 70.3 Race Report
http://andrea-lifeisbeautiful.blogspot.com/2014/06/ironmorton-703-race-report.html
A blog about marriage, kids, cooking, and triathlon. Sunday, June 8, 2014. IronMorton 70.3 Race Report. I think I will take a break from feverishly memorizing VBS Drama Skits and write up our experiences from yesterday. It was a very long day, as anticipated, and I am so grateful it's all over! David and I both learned something very important in the first 50 yards. I learned that my tri-shorts have a drawstring in them.I swam down for my first flip turn and when I pushed off the wall they "slipp...We tu...
