Getting Fit & Healthy!!!

Over the past 10 1/2 weeks i've been focusing on healthy eating, fitness and weight loss. I've been power walking/running 1-3 miles on my treadmill and doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and Ripped In 30!! I've mixed in a little yoga, soccer, tennis and whatever else I can do to say active. This has truly been a process but i'm determined to do it the right way and hit my goal by this time next year! Hubby has joined me on this journey (as of this week) and he too runs on the treadmill, eats healthier and gets in some strength, abs and extra cardio. I've heard many reports and have received many emails from friends and family who have been inspired to make healthy changes in their lives. I am blessed to have a willing mind to do this. God has truly given me the strength, motivation and will power to endure. I am 20 lbs lighter (I lost 7 lbs over the past 2 weeks and i'm feeling leaner by the day :)

I am determined to stay focused and to see each goal through... no matter how long it takes me to get there. My children are witnessing a good example and they help motivate me when I don't feel like pushing OR when I procrastinate and put everything else before my workouts. I can visualize how I will look and feel by the Spring, Summer, Fall and etc... I can imagine how i'll feel when I am able to cross the finish line of a 5k, 10k, 15k, 1/2 marathon... maybe, even a marathon :). My health is important to me and
I.AM.WORTH.IT!!!!

Football Season has ended Let The Soccer Season Begin!!!

This is just a quick post to catch up on the latest... life is still crazy busy. My sons football team ended on a high... they are champs once again! My son made it to the Pro Bowl and his team made it to the Super Bowl!!!



GREAT SEASON!!!! The girls just started soccer (for the first time) TODAY!!!! And boy was it a blast! My eldest daughter played first and she did an outstanding job on offense but an even better job on defense. She played against an all boys team and she blocked shots left and right! Next up was baby girl...

She scored the teams first goal (her first goal as well) and we went crazy with the cheers, thumbs up and congrats! They both had tons of fun. They also attended 2 birthday parties today and we took hubby to the airport for his departure to Europe and then to FL. He should return next Sunday... let the count down begin!!! I'll be back later with more updates as the season continues.




Just made her first goal!!!
