Oh my gosh--I could just CRY! I ran my first marathon just last month, and reading this made me emotional all over again! It was THE most amazing experience of my whole life. Soak it all in and embrace the pain! Can't wait to read all about it!!!!!!

Anything that helps me to visualize my month at one glance. I hate having my calendar on electronics--it's far too small!

Re: Remembering Mister Rogers and the Light He Left

Thank you for this article. Mister Rogers meant so much to me as a child, but I think as an adult, and a mother of three, his lessons and his words mean so much more to me now. I still miss him very much, but I get great strength from his message even today.

My brother and I called each other the day he died, and even though we were both in our late 20s at the time, we cried like babies. I still miss him.

Re: 5 Compliments You Need to Stop Giving About Children with Down Syndrome

I think "Downs child" is even worse.
Or how about, "I work with kids who are Downs."
uggggggggggggggg

Amen. I've heard all of these, and while I know the person means well, I am secretly rolling my eyes at them.

Re: Summer Blowout Weight Loss Challenge, Week 1 Check In

MommyAngela — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 10:24:45 -0000

I lost 3.8 pounds. Woohoo!!
Biggest victory: Counting calories when I really just wanted to eat everything in sight.
Biggest struggle: A birthday party and a family gathering. I have little willpower around party foods.
Reward: I don't really reward myself, other than the super feeling of compliments from others and jeans that fit better!

I just got chill bumps!! My name is Angela Amick, I'm 35 years old, and my best time in a 5K is 30:38. There is a runner from this race named Angela Amick who is 35 years old, and her time was 30:24. But I live in Georgia, and that's not me. SO WEIRD!! I see there was also a Jeremy and Caleb Amick who ran. (My husband is Matthew, and my boys are Andrew, Benjamin, & Thomas.)
So very neat!
Glad you had such a good turn out for your 5K. :)

They need to cancel The Office and keep Parks & Rec. Where am I supposed to get my Rob Lowe fix now?

We ate at Tusker House in January 2012 and there were characters at lunch.
We prefered the breakfast to the lunch, but there were definitely characters there at lunch recently. :)

We have a trip planned to the Wizarding World the week after Christmas, and I'd love to get either a t-shirt or a wand or something like that. :)

I have three sons. I hope none of them ever want their nails painted. Oh, and they all have short hair, too, and they never wear pink. Sorry. Just how I roll. :)

Re: Burst Into Summer: June 22 Check-In

MommyAngela — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 09:30:11 -0000

Great week! Stuck w my workouts, ran my first 10K, am *so* sore from day one of the Bootcamp. (Lunges are of the devil...) I lost 6 pounds!! :)

Re: Shrinking Bootcamp, W1D1

MommyAngela — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:24:28 -0000

Okay, I watched the video, and now I think I can do it. The explanation of "when you first start your sprints may only be 10-12 seconds" and watching her walk for like 10 seconds instead f 1-2 minutes is *much* quicker than how it's laid out in the explanation. I know I will be working up to 30-60 sec sprints, but I have never sprinted, so I will be starting out w shorter ones since I might die. lol
I am only fearful that it might make it really hard (at first at least) for me to do my long runs. My husband travels and so I have to plan my running around when he'll be home to watch the boys. So my long run this week will have to be early tomorrow morning. So I'll be doing this bootcamp tonight after the boys are in bed and the sun is down (about 8:30) and then eating dinner (we eat late) and then getting up at 6:00 to run almost eight miles. Gonna be rough, but I will do it!!!!!!!!!!!
One more question...I know these are posted MWF, but we can move days if we need to, right? I will be going to the NKOTBSB concert in Atlanta (don't be jealous...) Wed night so will need to do W's bootcamp on Thursday and then Friday's on Saturday. That's all right, correct? :)

MommyAngela — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 09:42:33 -0000

I'm so bummed. I didn't realize this was going to include outdoor activity. I am already training for a half-marathon and have a specific distance to run three times a week. It is very hard for me, with three small children and horrible heat, to find time to do my three runs a week. This would double the amount of times I would have to go outside. I'm just not sure I can swing it. :(

You can do it, Pam! In the last challenge, I moved from my 16s to my 14s, and my 12s are taunting me. :)
