Insanity Has Ensued

...in more ways than one. Having two boys is its own kind of insanity and to add to that mayhem, I have started the new year off by doing the Insanity workout. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em right? Added to the dual insanity, I have received my first injury of 2013. I guess my right foot wanted to know what all the hoopla was about. Last year I injured my left foot three times in the span of six months---two severe sprains (one involving a wheel chair, crutches, and the infamous fire fighter rescue), and one broken baby toe. This third week of the new year brought me a broken left baby toe and a soon to be over the hill husband (happy 35th tomorrow babe!). Since toe breakery is old hat to me now, I just took a few snapshots, pulled on my Uggs (the only shoe that currently fits, good thing we are experiencing a cold front here), and kept right on trucking. No ibuprofen, no disruption of Insanity workout, no visit to Kaiser. Nada. It's sad when toe breakages become an ordinary part of your life. As for the insanity (workout and boys), I'm happy I have survived. I'm on week three. Slightly sore now and again but eager to continue and see what results I'll get. The workout, maybe a few inches/pounds dropped. The boys, maybe they'll turnout to be smart, caring citizens. For now they are just into everything. I'm insane and they are curious.

Mililani Exploration: Kipapa Stream Trail

Image
Learn something new everyday. Today, I learned there is a lovely neighborhood park in walking distance from my house...and a fabulous hiking trail just behind that!  Today we were finally able to go on a hike---without driving (well, sort of...more on that later). We simply geared up, walked out of our house and to a trail we'd never explored before. Adventure Saturday! Today's hike was 2.2 miles (one way) on a partially old paved road, winding around the back woods of Mililani, down to Kipapa Stream, back up to...Costco in Waipio. Say what? We truly had not planned on arriving on the oustskirts of a farm that is directly across from our local Costco. Hiking truly lands you in the most unexpected places.   Along our route we encountered dirt bikers, a small band of pre-teen scooter riders, a couple of farm hands in a truck, a very intimidating junkyard dog, zero other hikers, and a friendly Starbucks Barista.  That's right, after our Saturday surprise hiking adventure, we f

Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail

Lost in Paradise is how I would describe yesterday's beach/forest trail that led us past crabs climbing on rocks, mongoose dashing across the trail, horses around the stables, a lone Pillbox, and finally to an iconic Banyan Tree famous for recurring roles in the television series "Lost" and an appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My mother-in-law was on island visiting for a week, so Marina, Sarah, and I took her on a hiking adventure...followed up by a thirst quenching Bacon Basil Bloody Mary.  I have previously explored trails with my mother-in-law.  We have trekked through mud and mosquitos at Manoa Falls, walked up a windy Makapu'u, huffed up Hau'ula Loop, strolled the North Shore's Waimea Falls and Kahuku Point.  So, this visit was no different.  We found ourselves hiking pals again for two separate trails this trip, the Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail being the best of the two. This trail begins in the far corner of the Turt

Shameless Plug...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?
