Naturally, at the top of most people's new year resolutions list is weight loss. It was on mine last year and it is there rearing its ugly head again this year. The good news is that I'm 21 lbs lighter than I was at this time last year! Booyah!! The not-so-good news is that I didn't reach my goal and actually gained a few pounds back near the end of the year. (Stinkin' irresistible Christmas goodies! ;)) BUT I am not discouraged! I will tread on! After all, I'm going for lifestyle changes here, not a temporary quick fix.
I really don't like making New Year's Resolutions. Actually, back up. More accurately, I don't like calling them New Year's Resolutions. I prefer goals...and I make them every year. I just can't help myself. (I'm sure many of you can relate!) Sometimes I keep them but more often I break them...and make them...and break them. It's a very consistent cycle of inconsistency. Every year I tell myself I'm not going to give up and every year I fall short of reaching all my goals but again, I am NOT discouraged! Why?

- I'm a mother of 3 who started blogging as a way to share our many adventures and to expand beyond the everyday "mommy world". While there IS so much more to us mommies than the title, there is very little that doesn't in some way or another lead us back to or influence our children...if anything. So, I hope you enjoy following our family's randomness, because as all moms know- you can never anticipate what tomorrow will bring! Thanks for visiting and have a blessed day! :)

What is Healthy?
I have never been in better shape than my sophomore year of high school. I played basketball then and our coach was hard core! We not only practiced on the court and did our fair share of running and mastering the bleachers, but we also had regular weight training...particularly in the off-season. I mostly played on the JV team, but did get some playing time at the Varsity level too. It's not that I was that great of an athlete. I wasn't. We were just a pretty young team. (I've said before that my brother, Matt, was the athletic one in the family. I don't think there was a sport in existence that he couldn't play...and play well.) During the basketball season we had what was known as "Pay the Price" week. I still have the t-shirt to prove that I survived...barely. ;) That week was T.O.U.G.H! There were a couple of times that I actually fell asleep at the dining room table during supper. I remember one particular night when my face nearly fell into my mashed potatoes. That was quite literally a lifetime ago but I was in great shape, that's for sure!
