A Body In Motion..

Have you ever heard the saying, “A body in motion stays in motion”?  Or is that a Bible verse?  I could Google it but I’m pressed for time but..you know the saying, right?

I made up my mind Saturday that I had to get myself back in to the habit of taking care of things I’ve neglected and I’ve been holding to it!

I cleaned this out of my wallet!

Two months worth of receipts!!  I do keep a checkbook in Excel so I had to enter all that info before I could take the stack to work and shred it!  This is what I did early Sunday AM when I was up early with a sick D!

I’m on this “eggs for breakfast” kick and have been fixing eggs for D and me every morning!
One day I didn’t have time to make us eggs and I noticed I was starving less than an hour later.  So..definitely making a point to make sure that both D and I have some source of protein in the morning with breakfast!
I think D loves the idea of mommy fixing her breakfast every morning…and brushing her hair..and pulling it out of her face..and brushing her teeth.  SPOILED!!

I was so proud of my packed lunch this AM!

Mostly because of the honey crisp apple – delicious!

I love getting surprises in the mail…like this!

Meeting C 12 years ago changed my life-TRUE STORY!!!!  D is super excited about the Starbucks gift cards!!  Thank you, C!!!!  I love you!!!

In other fun, exciting news, M and I booked our flight for the Tinker Bell half marathon weekend today because Southwest is having a fabulous sale!!  Our travel dates fell within their travel restrictions so..score!  Round trip for $139 can’t be beat!  Imagine our excitement when we registered for the race and then our excitement when we reserved the hotel room and now our excitement that we have our flights booked!

Been busy but I’m feeling good.  I’m getting my mind and body prepared to go for a run tomorrow morning.  I am just way too tired in the afternoon to run so I need to change things up and get my runs done in the morning’s.  This is a total switch for me so it’s going to be an adjustment.  We’ll see how it goes!

What’s your favorite kind of apple?

Do you keep a checkbook register and balance it every time you get a statement?

Are you running the Tinker Bell half marathon?

Do you pack your lunch or buy every day?

Video Debut!

Good Wednesday Morning!

The health and wellness program at my work is interviewing me today for a video they’re going to share with the company.  I’m nervous, especially after reading the interview questions.  I have to talk about why I’m passionate about our health and wellness program, what inspires me to live a healthy lifestyle, how I inspire others, etc.  I’ve never been interviewed on camera before, I don’t think I’m very photogenic.  I much prefer to be the person behind the lens, not in front of it.  It’s a lot of pressure but I’m really excited to be involved!!!

For the past few months I have been super good about packing my breakfast and lunch for work! We have a cafe on the first floor of our building but I’ve been trying to bring my own meals because when I eat in the cafe, I don’t always make the smart choice.  And bringing my own meals saves me lots of money!!

I have a date with the bike lane tonight so I’ll be back this evening to share my random thoughts with you wonderful people!

What’s in your lunch bag for today?
