Walking Wednesday!!!

This week we started school, so in the mornings it is only me and Lyssa. A couple of my friends and I decided that on Wednesdays we are going to walk until playgroup. Today was our first go around the town. Here we are strollers, double stroller and a wagon full of kids and us women taking up half the street to walk. We live in a small town and there is not much traffic. We started at my house at 8am and walked until 9am. I am sore but it is a good sore. I used to workout for a hour to a hour and half everyday. Then summer happened and just seemed like I never had the time. Now with only one kid I am hoping I can get back into the swing of things. The thing is I hate running so as long as I do not have to run I can handle working out. I have set goals.. you know them things you set and have every intention of sticking to but sometimes do not. Here are my goals.

1. Work out at least 3 times a week....( Monday, Wednesday and Friday)!

2. Weigh in once a week..( I hate this part the most)!

3. Cutting back on my soda intake..( I know I am addicted to soda and if I just stop drinking it I go into withdrawals. I am a real bear to live with so that is why I have wean myself off it...) If I do not get some soda everyday I might not have a marriage at the end of the month....

4. Eating more fruits and veggies everyday. I do not feel I eat bad right now I just know I could eat better.

5. Once a week I am having a day to not stress.. NO WORK, I am not sure what day it will be I am hoping its Saturday or Sunday. Right now Sunday I spend cleaning the house and getting ready for the week. So Saturday is family day where we do something together. Maybe Fridays I can workout for a hour then do nothing but relax....

I know I should have at least ten more goals but I am starting off small. I need to get organized again. If any one has some good tips on getting organized please let me know.... I need a meal thingy that is where I am lacking at the moment. I need new recipes to try and get a dinner plan...

First day of School!!

First day of school.. My daughter was so excited this morning I do not think she even slept much. When I woke her up this morning she popped out of bed saying FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL... FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL... We fixed her hair, got dressed in the clothes she set out the night before then sat down for breakfast. She only ate two bites before she was done and ready to leave.. Are you ready yet mom??? She was even getting her little sisters shoes for her. All the way to town she could not sit still I could see her in my rear view mirror wiggling around. I pull up to the school and then she got a little scared. Asked me to walk her in and make sure she gets to the right classroom. I got her to stand still long enough to get her picture. I can not believe my baby is in the first grade. I know I have two younger kids, but on days like today I remember the moment I found out I was pregnant with Lexis and now she is in the first grade. I handled it all very well, last year I cried hard when I had to leave her there. In about a hour I go and pick her up. I can not wait to hear all about her new classroom and teacher...

On another note the last couple of weeks I was on Jury for a murder trial. It was one of the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. We deliberated for four hours then we all decided he was guilty. There is no doubt in my heart he was guilty. I will not go into details but he should have been in jail a long time ago. I am so thankful to be done and on with my life!!!!
