taking charge!

I know you will probably not believe me, but we have fallen OFF the healthy eating wagon...well that being said I've fallen off all wagons leading to good health.  SO.... it's time to get back on track.  Liam is helping me with that.  We are working together on his athlete webelo pin and in order to do that for the next week we work out daily in some way.  Yesterday, we ran/walked a mile and tested ourselves to see how many chin ups, push ups and crunches we could do.  I'll leave it with you that  my son SKUNKED me.  I used to be in fairly good shape, but I can not say that currently.  I am however ready to make the past a current reality.  Today we took a family bike ride.  I loved it!  It was challenging with all the kids and I didn't get a workout per se, but it was FUN!  Emery told me she was grateful that I took the time to teach her how to go up and down the hills safely and how to ride her bike better.  Colin fell asleep in the trailer and Liam got his mile in.  It felt good to come home and drink monster smoothies and know that we slowed down our crazy life for just a little bit to spend some time together.  With so many aspects of my life out of my control and the craziness of my everyday, it's nice to know that there is something I can take the reigns on.   I know there are lots of other things, but I'll build this habit first and then tackle them...Don't worry, occasionally I'll report back on our progress.  Here's to goals!
