It’s Monday, which feels like Sunday. And I’m all confused. This weekend has not gone according to plan, but really, what does these days? So it may not be Marvelous, but it’s more than mediocre. Which is always good!
I’m going to copy the MARVELOUS Lindsay’s List this weekend and copy her One word Wednesday post, but instead, let’s make it two and call it a post.
Mmmmm.. k? 
Work..and play
Eat… and Relax (thanks to Simple Protein and Udis GF)
Train and Rain (plus humidity hair)
Family and Faith..
Racing.. not racing
So ya, the race didn’t happen. Instead, we’re icing, resting, and hoping that the husband’s neck strain heals ASAP.
Maybe it’s not so marvelous, but then again, it’s more than mediocre and we’re happy it’s just a strain. Stay positive, stay thankful, stay hopeful. The glass is not half full, it’s RIGHT FULL.
What’s your one word, or maybe two this Monday?
Happy memorial day and thank YOU to our troops for serving!
Cheers,
LC

May 27, 2013 at 5:42 AMYour poor hubby. I hope he heals quickly.
I feel you on the humidity hair. It’s not even worth doing most days because my hair ends up lookin’ a hot mess!

May 27, 2013 at 7:11 AMHi Lindsay! My two words today are health and organization. No wait, it’s heroes and family. No wait… 🙂
Sometimes it’s hard to come up with just one word, but the exercise is still helpful and guiding. I like it.
I wanted to order healthy bites and still haven’t because I simply can’t figure out how. Do you have an order link on your site that I am just not seeing? Are lemon flavored still available? Let me know!
Danica @ It's Progression says
May 27, 2013 at 7:54 AM-so sorry to hear about your husband’s injury…prayers to you both!

Amanda @runtothefinish says
May 27, 2013 at 8:12 AMi thought thursday was wednesday, so by friday I was thoroughly not ready for the weekend and yet very excited. which means my word right now is probably “behind” 🙂
LCCotter says

Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says

May 27, 2013 at 3:13 PMExhausted!!! I am so burned out on travel right now and I’m trying to play catch up with work while everyone else plays and the sun is out!!! This is NOT making me happy. However, I’m healthy, my family is healthy and we have work, so…I’m also happy! I hope James feels better! xoxo

Did I see coffee going into healthy bites? And sprinkles? So excited for orders to go out!
Hope James feels better ASAP. I swam a 600 today and thought I might die. The respect I have for IronMen is now through the roof!
LCCotter says

Bre says
May 27, 2013 at 7:48 PMgood news is that it’s not the same injury- different injuries aren’t fun (esp. when the ruin race day) BUT there are lots of races yet to be had for the season, and neck strains will heal up quickly!

Hope James gets better soon!! 🙁
Brittany says
May 27, 2013 at 8:18 PMSorry to hear about the cancelled race! Looked for you this morning, so no wonder I never saw you or your husband. I heard James Cotter announced at the start, but never saw him running through transition with the other pro guys (man they are fast, btw). Hope the injury heals soon!
Giselle@myhealthyhappyhome says
May 27, 2013 at 8:20 PMMy one word today is flu 🙁 That’s right, a nasty stomach flu has overtaken my body! The only thing that’s marvelous is that it stayed away until after my son’s birthday on Saturday. Thank goodness because I’m a hot mess today!
LCCotter says
May 28, 2013 at 8:41 PMflu?!! Oh no! that is not fun. Hope you are better now.
