Darkness into Light 2014

Last weekend I headed out at 2.30am with my sister and her boyfriend and nearly 80,000 others all around Ireland to run the Darkness into light 5k. This has become an annual event for me and one of my favourite runs.

Over the past number of year this event has grown into one of the biggest charity run and I couldn't be for a better cause. Pieta House does great work for people who are affected by suicide.

I unfortunately have known too many people who have taking their own lives and the destruction it has left behind. The work these people at Pieta House do is so important ans I'm so glad that I can help in this small way.

The run turned out to be a great run for me. I walked for about 1/4 of a mile because I got a stitch AGAIN. These stitched really are starting to become a problem. I also had a little twinge in my lower calf. I hurt tendons there before and decided it wasn't worth hurting myself. I ended up with a time of 42.34 as the run was 3.5 miles and I didn't get running properly for the first 3 or 4 minutes. I'm so happy with this and I found the run a lot easier too.

I've been getting in my 20 minutes nearly every day. I'm also doing leg, abs, butt and arm workouts everyday. I'm done with starting over.

Easter 5k Recap.

I'm finally sitting down to the laptop and writing about this 5k.

I hadn't a whole lot of training done for this 5k but I wasn't worried about it. I still had some of my fitness and I had ran a few time before the race. It was my first 5k of the year and my sister did it too. She just finished her couch to 5k program and did so well. She used to hate running but has come full circle and rocked the run.

The first mile of the run was mostly up hill. We set out and we were going at a pretty fast pace. I could feel it. I was running at the steady pace that I wanted. I always do this. I get dragged on by the pack and end up killing myself over the first mile. My pace foe the first mile was 10.13. That is an amazing pace for me but I wasn't ready for that. 

By the time we got the the down hill part, I had a huge stitch. I thought I could just jog it off and use the down hill to my advantage but no. The fucker crept up under my rid and was poking my lung. That really doesn't help when your trying to run. I ended up having to walk for a little while and tried to stretch it out. At this point my sister was steaming ahead and I didn't want to hold her back. She worked so hard for this race and I wanted her to get a good time.

I finally got back running but my stitch kept coming back. I decided to "wog" the shit out the the rest of the race. For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about. To wog is to walk and jog until you finish the race. Ha! Just go with it.

I finish the race with my little girl. She ran up the last hill with me and loved that she got to cross the finish line with her out of breath Mama. We finished the race in about 35 minutes. I all the excitement I forgot to stop the app on my phone to see my time. Typical.

Was it a great run? No.  Was it completely horrible? No.

Did I learn from the run?

YES!

It gave me a mark to work from. I know what I can do now. I know that I need to set my own pace ans stick with it. I know that I need to get more runs in during the week. And I know I need to get better music too.

I linking up with Jen over at JVKom Chronicles for her #20X31  May Fitness Challenge.

I've been getting in my 20 minutes nearly every day. Some days are better workouts and some days are just a walk. But it exercise and I'm keeping active. I hitting the gym next week to do more weights. I know my body reacts well to weight lifting from the last time I did it. Having a baby between then and now means I'm back to square one but I don't care. At least I starting.

Get out and get active guys!

Where do I begin?

Last Thursday was the worst day ever.

I soent the day at the funeral of one of the happiest 14 year old boy I have ever met. Someone who always had a smile on his face and was always causing trouble.

The good kind though.

The stories that his friends told me about him were hilarious.

When I got home, I was drained.

Physically. Emotionally. Every way.

I couldn't find it in me to write.

So I didn't.

I should have posted week 6 of the workouts.

Here it is.

I'll be doing this week starting today.

The other thing that I've start doing is juicing.

I don't eat enough fruit at all and I eat the same vegetables day in day out. I've been wanting to get the kids to eat different thing too but there kids and picky. But juicing makes things like spinach and celery and cucumber taste fantastic. I've found a few lovely recipes on pinterest. Go check out my Juices and Smoothies board. They're amazing.

There is a new Juice and Smoothie bar open in town and Pia has some of the most amazing recipes in there. Be sure to go call in and try one. You won't be sorry. I bought a juicer of one of those Facebook selling pages for €15. A steal, right? 

Here are a few of my favourite combinations at the moment.

apple

orange

kiwi

banana

***

apple

spinach

pineapple

avocado

***

strawberry

banana

blueberry

I'm a month into my sugar detox. I have gone a whole month without adding sugar to my tea and anything else I used to add it to. I'm finding it a whole lot easier now than at the start. The headaches were horrible and I was like a demon for a few days. But I

the less sugar I have to less I crave chocolate and other sugary things. I'm tasting things differently too. I'm tasting the natural sweetness in things that never seemed sweet before.

So that's it for this week. What are your favourite juices? Let me know. I need your go to recipes. If you have a fitness post that you want to link up, then join in below.

Get Fit, Stay Fab : A Weekly Fitness Linkup

Welcome back Everyone!

This week has been bad.

Full stop!!

I didn't work out at all.

I had zero energy and no motivation to go work out.

I was still active though.

I have plenty of stables that needed cleaning out and that was everyday.

The lack of energy could be because I have given up sugar.

For a while now I've wanted to try give up sugar. I add it to everything. Tea, cereal, desserts, everything. I know it's disgusting but it wasn't always like that. I started out having one sugar in my tea and when I got used to that and the sweetness wasn't as strong, I added another and then another. In the end I was adding 4, yes 4 spoons of sugar to my big travel mug of tea. and I was having that a few time of day. That is a lot of sugar but I needed it. I craved it. 

And then I had enough. I was sick of feeling like a prisoner in a crazy cycle of the more I got used to it the more I needed. So last Thursday, I stopped adding sugar to everything. I'm using a sugar replacement called Splenda. Instead of having 20 calories per spoon of sugar, I'm having 2 calories. That's a huge amount of calories that I was wasting everyday.

But the side effects are not nice. I'm having cravings, headaches, mood swings and lack of energy. I'm hoping that it gets better and that I'll be able to give up more sugary things in time. I'm still having the odd piece of chocolate when thing get too bad. I'll never give it up all together. I love cake and cupcakes and chocolate and I could never do without them in my life. Just a little less often.

I have noticed that my taste buds have changed in just one week. I can taste the natural sweetness in things and food tastes different but in a good way.

***************************************

Here is week 5 of Sadie's CrossFit workout plan.

I'll be starting back on week 4 because messed up last week.

I really did miss the workouts but just couldn't find it in myself to do them.

I starting this week with a new strenght.

I'm going to workout more, eat better, sleep more and be better to myself.

Welcome back everyone!

How was you week of fitness?

Did you workout?

In case you new to these parts let me fill you in on what being happening.

A few weeks ago I came across Sadie and her amazballs workouts that she was setting up for all us stay at home moms or busy working moms or anyone who really wanted a workout that you can do at home and didn't need any fancy equipment. I can't say enought good things about these workouts. They really are easy to do and I really enjoy doing each one of them.

Here's the link to the first two weeks.

Make sure you read the links in the first post. They are really important and full of very good info.

Week 1

Week 2

This week, I managed to get another workout in. My body is finding it easier to recover from the workouts. My legs are able to do more squats and my arms are getting stronger.

I did 3 of this weeks workouts and I got a days hunting in too. That's two and a half hours up on a horse. Cantering around jumping whatever comes in our way. Total body workout. Trust Me!

I'm still doing some of the moves slightly modified. Like push-ups. I just can't for the life of me do a proper army style push-up. But I will. Someday. For now I'm doing the girly one but it's still tough. And I can honestly say that I don't think I will ever be able to do a pull up but I'll keep trying.

I said last week I needed some new music to workout to. I have fallen in love with one song in particular and I love the better life message behind it.

I'm loving a few of their songs right now, Swedish House Mafia's song "don't you worry child" is also a good one. And Shakira and Rihanna have a great one out at the minute that is great for running to. And I love me a little Pharrel and his song Happy. It just puts me in a good mood.

Do you have any favourites?

Let me know, K?

Here's week 3 of the workouts people.

I'm also trying to give up sugar and cut way back on the sugary things I eat. The headaches are killer and I feel like shit but I'll be worth it. If you have any tips on helping me to give up this lovely sweet drug of mine, please let me know.

Welcome back everyone!

How was you week of fitness?

Did you workout?

I managed to workout 2 days this week using Sadie's 6 weeks to fab workout plan.

I wanted to do more.

The workouts are great. 

Easy to understand and follow but my god do they make you work. My poor legs were screaming at me while I was doing it. I could feel all the muscles that I was using. And I could feel them for days after too.

That right there is why I'm doing this. I need to feel like I'm doing something. It's also the reason that I only got two workouts in. I wasn't able to walk after the first workout. My kegs were killing me in a good way. I knew that I had worked and done something good. I don't feel bad that I only got two in. It's two more workout than I did last week and I going to get more again this week.

It's all about making every day count. Making everyday a workout. I'm trying to be more active in my everyday life. Taking the stairs or walking around town instead of driving around. Doing more with the horses. Getting out and playing with the kids. All of these things will help me in a small way. Making me fitter and more able to do my workouts.

This is the workout plan for week two of Sadie's Workout

If your late to the game, head on over to last weeks post where I have week one workouts and all the links you need to read to make sure you have all the information you need. Sadie has really checked all the boxes when it comes to this workout.

The pther thing I'm struggeling with is finding music to use while working out.
Do you have some favourites that always push you to do more?
Let me know. Send me an email or comment below and I'll see if I can find any to share next week.

Welcome back Everyone.

I hope you've had a productive week.

I have been celebrating and researching all week.

First I'll share the celebration.

Last year in January 2013 me, my mom and sister took measurements of our hips, waist and bust.

We had started to follow Operation Transformation and we wanted to see if there was any change after all our work.

Fast forward 6 months and we totally forgot about the measurements.

It wasn't until this past weekend that we remembered them.

My daughter had her tiny measuring tape and was checking how big everyone was.

Then we remembered, found the old ones and compared them.

OMG!

I was shocked.

I knew I had toned up a bit but nothing like this.

I have lost 4 inches of my waist and 4.5 off my hips.

HAPPY DAYS!

That is such an amazing feeling.

It's like finding a €10 in the pocket of an old pair of jeans.

It has really motivated me to keep going.

I wasn't doing a whole pile to loose those inches but can you imagine the results if I really pushed myself.

So I started the research to find something that I can do at home or at the gym.

Something that I can do even when the kids are with me.

Something that was easy to follow and doable.

Enter SIMPLE SADIE JANE.

I came across Sadie on instagram.

This is the photo that caught my attention.

Yes that is the same woman.

Amazing, right?

So after a little blog stalking, I realized that she has been doing Crossfit for year and was after starting a 6 week at home Crossfit workout.

The workout is for all us busy moms that can't find time to workout.

Well I'm going to MAKE time to do this.

I'm late to the game, as usual, but I'm looking forward to doing this program.

There are a few posts of Sadies that I think you should all read before you do the program.

Sadie's Fitness Class : Part 1: Nutrition

Sadie's Fitness Class : Part 2 : Fitness

Sadie's Fitness Class : Part 3 : Putting it all together

Make sure you have a look around her blog. She talks about her AT HOME CROSSFIT GYM and her PALEO diet. She even has a HEALTH AND FITNESS QUESTIONS ANSWERED post.

Here is the first week of the program. Click here for the full post.

I'm still doing the ab challenge and i'm starting to feel the burn now.

I'm getting kind of bored of it though.

I'm going to stick with it and start Sadie's workout today too and see how I go.

If you want to see what the ab challenge is check out last weeks post.

I hope you'll come along with me on this journey with me.

We're all just trying to find time and support to get back to where we once were.

We CAN do it!!

Get Fit, Stay Fab : A weekly fitness linkup

Welcome back lovelies!

I'm late with this post today as my internet has returned to the stone age and has been acting like a bipolar nut. It's either really slow or just won't work at all. But I'm here and I ready to report.

Last week I announced this little link up and why I wanted to start it.

I feel like I need somewhere to report to. Somewhere that I can see if I'm pulling my weight.

I don't know if anyone will link up and that is worrying but I hope if you have any fitness goals and want someone (namely me) to help you stay on track.
Then join in!

Ok, so I'm doing the Fab ab challenge and it's going good. I'm doing the exercises and I feel ok so far.
I'm feeling a little burn but nothing I can't handle. Next week could be a different story. If you want to join in on the challenge, I've posted a picture below.

I thought alot about my diet over the past week and I figured out I'm not that bad when if comes to my main meals. We have a home cooked dinner at least 6 if not 7 nights of the week and there iv always veg on my plate. I't my snacking where I have a problem. I have a problem with sugar.

Hi.
I'm Caroline.
And... I'm addicted to sugar.

This might seem funny but it's no joke. I gave up cigarettes easier. I tried to cut it out completely since the start of February. Not a good idea. I swear I had with drawls and everything. I was not an easy person to live with either. Sorry Hubs. So instead I'm going to try wean myself off it slowly. I'm going to cut back on the sugar I add to things and cut back on the lovely cream eggs.

I don't want to stop having nice thing all together. I'm not that good. I like cake and cookies and chocolate and sweets and eclairs... ok you get the point. I know giving up all of these things will make me want them more and make me more likely to fail. So instead I'm going to treat myself each day with my sugar fix and fell ok with that.

Everything in moderation.

Iwas doing some research on at home workouts and things that I can do when my kids are around.

I think I've found the perfect thing and person the inspire me.

The transformation this woman has undergone from hard work and dedication is ah-masing!!

But, You'll have to check back next week and see what I'm talking about.

I have some more research to do.

Until then...

Oh, don't forget to follow me on Instagram and use the #getfitstayfab4life to see how I'm doing.

Get Fit, Stay Fab : A new weekly fitness linkup

Is it over yet.

I'm so over January.

It has been the longest, wettest month here and I'm read for some better weather.

Now!!

Bad weather make me fell bad.

I've been in a fitness funk since the new year.

I just can't seem to get motivated to get up and do it.

I hate working out in the rain.

It's my glasses you see. 

I'm blind, pretty much anyway, with out them and can see if they get all wet.

And yes I could wear contacts but I don't look like me without my glasses and it's kind of a waste if I'm just going for a 20 minute run.

But February is just around the corner and I'm giving myself a kick in the ass.

I'm going to start blogging once a week about my fitness highs and lows.

I was involved in a fitness link up last year over on Jen's blog last year and it really motivated me.

I got back into running and I loved it.

I miss the support I got from the group of lovely ladies that linked up.

I missed how we pushed each other to do more, be healthier, stay fitter.

So today I'm starting my own fitness linkup.

The first linkup will be next week.

If you want to link up and find great workouts, good healthy recipes and people that know what it's like to fail and start again, then join in.

Come February,  I'll be starting a new challenge.

My abs are more flab than fab and I'm ready to do something about it.

I'm hoping that this link up will keep me accountable for my fitness too.

I hoping that you will join in and share your fitness highs and lows with me.

If you're on Instagram you can follow me HERE and use the #getfitstayfab4life .

If you don't have a blog and want to follow along, you can leave a comment under the blog post or on my Facebook page under the post.

Check back next week for the link up and to see how I did with week one of my new challenge.

Don't forget to grad the button and add it to your post.

Have a great day!

Run Kilarney 10k Recap

I'm finally getting around to writing my Run Kilarney 10k recap on this run.

It was so hot.

Like 31 degrees.

The day before we had to go collect our race packs.

I was so excited to get my pack and see all the goodies and my t shirt.

We got to the race about a hour before the race to get parking and warm up.

There were over 1250 people taking part in the 10k.

I really didn't know how I was going to handle the heat.

Walked to the start line and the atmosphere was amazing. 

My brother did it with me.

It was his first 10k ever.

Everyone was ready to go.

I managed to jog the first 3.5k.

I took my time and I went as slow as I needed.

I wasn't going to break and records or anything.

Getting back the the hotel without fainting or needing a ride in the medic van was my goal.

My brother is alot taller than me.

His legs are at least a foot longer than mine.

Once we started running he left me for dust.

Damn those long legs. Ha!

There was supposed to be a water station at 3.5k.

There wasn't!

I needed water.

Bad!!

I think the fact that I thought it was going to be there and it wasn't mad it worse.

I got so thirsty.

It was a mental thing more than a physical thing.

I decided to walk so I wouldn't get too hot and dehydrate.

I didn't get water until 4.5k.

I took 2 bottles so I would have enough to keep me going until 8.5k.

The views while I was jogging/walking were amazing.

It really took my mind off the fact that I wasn't doing my greatest.

I ended up walking until the next water station.

My legs were tightening up and I was afraid they would cramp

It was tough.

I hate running in the heat.

And this heat was just awful.

I continued to walk until I came back onto the road and saw the hotel in the distance.

Seeing the hotel and the finish line gave the kick in the butt I needed to run home.

I managed to jog most of the last kilometer home and finished 1h 33min with a smile on my face.
It wasn't an amazing time but I didn't think I was going to break any records.

I wasn't my best run but I did it and I finished it.

If I could change anything I would ask Mother Nature to turn down the heat and have more water stations.

We're not used to the heat in Ireland and the organizers should have put in more water through put the race.

I'm going to do it next year again and this time I'm going to be running and not walking.

Thanks for stopping by.

Health and Fitness Friday : Not so much

I'm back linking up with Miss Jen for Health and fitness Friday this week.

We missed last week and it was a good thing.

I had nothing to report.

Well I had but it wasn't anything good.

Fitness

July has not been good for me. 

I've been so bad.

One run.

ONE! 

And it wasn't even a good one. My legs gave up and started cramping.

I'm blaming the heat. 

We are having a heat wave here in Ireland.

Temps are up in the 30's.

My little Irish body is NOT used it this heat.

The only exercise that I'm getting is running around having water fights and bouncing on the trampoline.

I should be a little more worried considering I have a 10k on the 20th.

I'm so not ready!!

But It ok.

I'm enjoying the Sun.

I'm enjoying time outside with my kiddos.

It won't last. It never does.

And when it's gone, I'll get back into training.

For now, Water fights and getting some well needed vitamin D is all I'm worried about.

I can even walk some of my 10k if I need to.

Health

I'm not even going to pretend that I've been eating healthy.

I have not.

Ice-cream, cakes and everything I'm not meant to be eating.

But like I said above. I'm blaming the heat.

When it's gone, so is the bad diet.

So when the sun is gone or even if it cools down just a little you'll find me workout out or running or just not being a lazy bones.

Here's to getting it right... Tomorrow! Ha!

If you don't want to miss anything on My Country Girl Ramblings head on over to Bloglovin, Facebook or Twitter and follow along in the fun.

Happy Friday Friends.

Health and Fitness Friday : Food Glorious Food

It's Friday! That can only mean one thing.

Fitness

I have to start today by explaining me a little bit. I get bored easily. If I do the same thing day in, day out, I get bored and it stops being a challenge. I am also one of those people that is always jumping from one thing to another. This is a problem when your trying to get in shape. I get half way through and get bored and quit.  I started the 30 day squat challenge and had to stop that after day 5 because I wasn't able to walk let alone run. I started the 30 day ab challenge and I still trucking along with that but it wasn't enough on its own.

 I found something last weekend that truly is challenging me every time I do it. Every part of me hurts in a good way when I do it. Jillian Micheals 30 day shred is  what I'm talking about. I'm on day 5 today and can I tell you, for a 20 minute workout, it's a tough 20 minutes. I'm working my whole body. Strength, cardio and abs in a 20 minute workout is what I'm all about.

I haven't gotten any runs in this week just because the weather is crap again here. Rain and a hell of a lot of flies. Not ideal. I have a 5k walk coming up this Sunday. It's a fundraiser for Jasmins school. She has been begging me to take her on one of my runs with me but trying to explain to a 5 year old that she couldn't run 5k is near impossible. So, Sunday is going to be for us. I also have a 5k "Nun run" on the 23rd. I have to dress up in a Nun's outfit. I'm going to try get my sister to do this. She reads my bog sometimes so I hope she see's this. Ha!

Workouts this week.

Saturday : 30 day abs

Sunday :  Rest

Monday : 30 day shred + abs

Tuesday : 30 day shred +abs

Wednesday : 30 day shred

Thursday : 30 day shred + abs

Friday (today) : 30 day shred

Health

I've been pretty good this week. I have a Healthy, low fat Shepherds pie recipe for you guys. I love this dish. It's filling, full of veggies and it tasted so good. I also have a new smoothie recipe. I haven't tried this one but it looks amazing. 

Spinach-Mango Green Smoothie Recipe!

- 1 Large Ripe Banana

- 1 Cup Mangoes

- 1/2 Cup Strawberries

- 5 oz Spinach

- 1 1/2 cups Water

Whizz!

I have never eaten spinach and I would like to include it in my diet. It's really high iron.

 Have any of you ladies got any good recipes for spinach??

Another tip that I have for making smoothies is to put your fruit in the freezer for about 20 minutes before you whizz them. It makes your smoothie thicker and colder and it just tastes better. Yum!

 I'm not one for salads but this is one I came up with and I love it.

4 Bacon Rashers

Lettuce

Tomatoes

Onion

Cheese

salt and black pepper

Cook the rasher in the grill and chop everything else. Mix it all together and add a pinch of salt and loads of black pepper. Serve with pitta breads and eat warm.

And that's it. 

Do you have any good recipes that I need to try? Leave a link comment the comment section and I try it and give you props on the blog if I use it.

10 on Tuesday : A bit of a catch-up

I kind of slacked off on the blog last week. But if I'm being honest. I don't care. The sun was shining and I was out in it every day. I barely look at a computer all week and I only popped in now and then to the social media world. But the sun is gone and I'm back.

Speaking of the sun. We got up to so much. Took a unplanned trip back to the beach last Tuesday. It was P man's first time at the beach and he loved it. I really hope the sun comes back again so we can go back.

We had a birthday party at Jasmin's friends house. Pirate Jack was he entertainer. He was amazing. Face painting, Balloon animals, Dancing, Games and Tattoos. He really too the hard work out of the party. I might just have to look into getting an entertainer for the next big birthday in our house.

Hello Kitty!

We pulled out the pool the weekend and let the kids play in it. And when I say pool, I mean tiny pick blow up pool. But it could have been a bucket of water and these two would have been happy. Please come back  Mr Sun.

If your wondering what all that stuff in the background is, well let me tell you. My amazingly crafty Husband put up a new post and panel wall at my mothers house. She has the most amazing son-in-law, hands down. He also built a fab gate for her so the too wilds won't go wandering onto the road.

Jasmin had her first school sports day. She didn't win anything but said it didn't matter cos she had fun. So proud of this little one for know that having fun is more important. Next year were going to win the spud and spoon race. 

She also had her first school tour. This little poser got to go to Lee Strand milk factory and see how milk gets put into cartons. For some reason she was very excited about it and had a fantastic day. She got a mug, key ring and a activity book in a goodie bag too. No tears or anything. Slow down little girl. Your growing up too fast.

I started Jillian Micheals 30 day shred on Monday. It is tough. But I excited to see what changes and results I get from it. I want to be able to workout at home. I spend enough time away from home and driving to this and that. Working out is not another thing I'm going adding to that list. 

The garden is coming or well. the sun really helped it. The weeds and grass are doing very very well. Ha! I can't wait to have some spud and cabbage from here. There is nothing like new potatoes. I'm not sure the peas will make the kitchen but they taste so good out of the pod.

I finally got the P man's bedroom done. Thanks to moneysupermarket.com and their room for improvement challange i got it done. You can read all about it here.

Wow, We really got up to a lot over the past 2 weeks. I try not to be so MIA if the sun come back but I can't make any promises. Ha!

Thanks for stopping by.
