Except for the fruit I ate today, it was a sugar free day. Ho hum. As for my physical activity, I did 50 squats and 30 push-ups again. Not a whole lot of moving and grooving today, but at least I did something.

Juneathon, Day 2
Not only is today Day 2 of the Juneathon, but it is also National Running Day. *sigh* How I wish I could honor the day with a good run! Heck, even a good wog would have been nice. Oh well. So rather than a run, I simply walked (more like waddled) for 20 minutes. I also did 50 squats and 30 push-ups.
On a side note, I also had my 32 week OB visit today. I gained 6 pounds since my last appointment four weeks ago. UGH! I’m also measuring at 34 weeks. Double grunt! Plus, they detected sugar in my urine. O.K. so it might have had something to do with the super size bowl of Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch and large helping of watermelon I ate for breakfast this morning and maybe even the volume of ice cream I ate over Memorial Day weekend or the several refills of Slushies I shared with my 4 year old yesterday at Target. But I swear, for the most part, I’m being so good. Looks like it’s Kashi for the remainder of my pregnancy. Blah. It’s going to be a long, not-so-sweet summer.
Dare to Bare
At 33 weeks, I’m still sporting a bikini with my big ol’ baby bump.
Joining the Juneathon
Today kicked off the official start of the Juneathon and I did my best to join in the fun. After all, I’ve got my eyes on the prize: a pair of Vibram Five Fingers Classics.
Although my wogging days have been temporarily postponed until my postpartum days, I chose to ease into the Juneathon with 20 minutes of prenatal yoga and weight training. This big ol’ bump may keep me from wogging, but it can’t keep me from a few biceps and tricep curls. I also threw in some squats and lunges in for good measure.
If you missed joining the Juneathon today, there’s always tomorrow. In fact, tomorrow (June 2) is National Running Day, so get out there and run for me or run with virtual Run DMT.
Great Googly Moogly
If you’re a regular Run DMT reader, you may recall my oldest daughter’s bartering with the Tooth Fairy for some Silly Bandz. To say that Allana is obsessed with these fun shaped, silicone bracelets would be an understatement. So when Googly Bands requested bloggers to review their hottest new designs, I jumped at the chance…for the sake of my children, of course.
From preschoolers to tweens, these stretchable silicone bracelets are the hottest collectables since Beanie Babies and my girls and their friends are right in the thick of the craze too. They couldn’t wait to tear into our sample packages to try out the new Googly Bands designs and test them out for the purpose of this review. Emmalynn picked the Treats and Allana sank her claws into the Sea Creatures.
Emmalynn loved the fun bright colors, especially the purple cupcakes, but Allana (my little Pinkalicious princess) preferred the hot pink octopus which she also thought doubled as a pineapple. Shortly after they admired their new shapes, the girls began trading.
But for Allana, trading for Treat Googly Bands was only the icing on the cake when she heard about the Googly Band Design Contest. Starting June 1st 2010, Imperial Toy Inc (the makers of Googly Bands) will be accepting submissions for the first ever Googly® Band Design Contest. The winner will receive a $50 gift card and a chance to design the new style of Googly Bands. For more information about the Googly® Band Design Contest and submission guidelines, visit www.GooglyBands.com, join Googly Bands on Facebook or follow Googly Bands on Twitter (@googlybands). All submissions must be emailed to submissions@imptoy.com by midnight pacific time on July 18, 2010.
Allana was so excited about being the first kid in her class with these “rare”, yet soon to be on the shelf Googly Bands and she asked if she could bring in the OPP packaging to prove the authenticity of her never-seen-before Googly Bands to her classmates.
The new Googly Bands designs will be available at most major retailers this month including Wal-Mart and Walgreens. If you kids are big collectors like mine, then you know that most stores can’t keep these silicone bands on the shelf long enough and these fun, bright Googly Bands will be no exception!
