Health Challenge

In the end of 2013 I completed a six week health challenge. I decided to set my goals easy so that I could stick with the plan, thankfully I did and my group won! One of my friends, Yvonne and I were on the same team and since we won, we spent last Saturday shopping and going out to eat. I haven't spent that many hours away from my house in a long time and it was delightful!

I signed up for the challenge again, which started 2 days ago on Monday. Benton also signed up which will make it easier since we are both counting calories. I know this time around is going to be a bit tougher this time but I'm excited to see some results. As part of the challenge we have to incorporate a new healthy habit as well as get rid of a bad habit. One of my goals this time around is to read to my girls for 15 minutes a day. I know reading is really important for kids but sometimes I just don't get around to it or I don't feel like. So I set it as a goal and it has been a nice sitting and reading to them. They LOVE to read and I think I made the right decision.


We do weigh in's every monday, so I will let you all know how it's going! Wish me luck!!!

Not that you asked for my opinion, but here it goes. I'm telling you it only gets harder. When you have to listen to them read their words and you have to be patient...ahhh!! Pull your hair out. So take advantage of it now when you can read to them. My advice for now is to go to the Library OFTEN. If you have new books to read you are always excited to read to them. At least that is what works for me.
