The past few months, I have been reading and enjoying the link up some of my favorite bloggers created with the theme of coffee. Not just their love of coffee, but rather if you and I were to sit and chat over a cup of coffee what would we chat about? I thought that was a fun idea. I love coffee and I love to chat with friends over coffee.
This is my first time participating and linking up with the girls for The Ultimate Coffee Meet Up virtual coffee date.
If we were having coffee I would share with you that I was featured in the Northland Lifestyle magazine last month. My son was browsing the magazines while we were waiting to be seen at the Urgent Care, and he said “Hey Mom! This looks like you!” It was me. It was pretty neat to see me in print (rather than online).
If we were having coffee I would tell you that I have slacked with my health/fitness routine the past few months. My weight has increased (not in a good adding muscle way – but rather lots of squishy and uncomfortable weight). I purchased the Polar Balance to use with my Polar products to help keep me on track. It is a scale that will sync to my Polar A360 (M400, Loop, V800 and other amazing Polar products) that will adjust my daily activity goal according to my desired weight goal.
I thought I was rocking my daily activity goal every day… until I plugged in my weight loss goal and I was humbled. It is time to get moving more, heart pumping more, and tracking my nutrition better. Summer is coming soon!
If we were having coffee I would tell you that I finally decided to purchase a treadmill. Working, juggling the boys sports schedules, and always changing weather has led this running mama to go crazy. I need to run. Even though I am not a huge treadmill running fan… I love running more than NOT running. My treadmill isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of other (fancier more expensive) models. It does the trick. I can run on it. It makes me happy.
If we were having coffee I would tell you that I am a college student again. Yes, after graduating from college 14 years ago with my BSE in Elementary Education, I am taking a college class again. According to the Missouri DESE in order to get my teaching certificate renewed, I needed to take a 2-3 credit hour class within my major to get recertified. I am doing what they told me with the hopes that in May I will have a current teaching certificate.
If we were having coffee I would tell you that I am really praying about the possibility of returning to teaching full time in the fall. Yes, the above going back to college info holds true for this. I am praying that if God is calling me to return to work (as a mom – which would be new for me), than I am excited to pursue that path. If He wants me to work part time as a substitute, that will have to be okay too.
If we were having coffee I would tell you that my husband and I will be celebrating our 13 year wedding anniversary on Monday! I love how he can still make me laugh after all these years.
If we were having coffee I would apologize for continually checking my watch. Our Saturday’s have been super busy with the three boys playing Upwards Basketball all day, every Saturday. It is time for my oldest boy’s game to start soon. Time to head out for round three for the day. Yes, we started games this morning at 8AM. Yawn. I think I need more coffee.
If we were having coffee, what would YOU want to chat with ME about?
What is your favorite type of coffee drink?
– My favorite coffee drink is a non-fat no-whip peppermint mocha (or zebra). Yum!
