Brenda: What A Great Day!

First, I must start by saying "Happy Anniversary Troy! I love you!" Today is our 15th Anniversary! Second, sorry for not posting anything for awhile. Troy is leaving on Tuesday for the first of many 2+ weeks away. We have been busy trying to get everything done around the house and doing all the family stuff we can before he leaves.
I ran for the first time today since my last post. I got blisters on my heals from walking to Starbucks last Sunday. Luckly, last night my friend Laura told me about these great blister bandaids. So I bought some last night, slapped those babies on this morning and went for a jog. They worked great! She told me to wear them until they fall off. She meant that literally! They were starting to come off after my shower so I started to peel off what was left on my heel - not good. They take off all the skin from around the blister. So, I pushed them back on and I am good to go.
My run was great. I got my kids to come along on their bikes, which made it more fun. Then, during the run they were discussing how they were excited to start a new school this fall. This is a turn of events! My youngest has been very apprehensive about starting a new school, so I was happy to hear her talk about how she is now excited.
On Monday I started off with 3 goals. At the moment I am 2 1/2 for 3.
They are as follows:
Wake up at 5am and workout every morning
Eat a salad for lunch each day
Drink only water, no more ZippFizz
I HAVE worked out everyday, just not at 5am, so that is why I am only 2 1/2 for 3....
The salads are actually great and not that time consuming to make. Given the choice between my peanutbutter/chocolate protein shake and a salad, I would choose the shake, but I really think that if I want to win the next weigh in (Monday) I need to stick with salads for awhile.
Speaking of the "Challeng" my sister-in-law Monica is going to start posting to this blog. She is getting a little cocky lately, so we'll have to see what she has to say!
