She's at it again!

Today is day 4 of my new journey to serendipity. I have worked out consistently for the past 12 weeks. I have lost 10 pounds and I am wearing size 6 clothing. There are so many mornings where I have a mental war and try to justify staying in bed. I say to myself, "I can miss one day, it won't change anything." Then after 10 minutes I get up put my running shoes on and go. It's that simple. I don't want to let myself down. I will write another day about the becoming "super" challenge. This was the motivation to finally start exercising again. I realize that I can use this model in every other aspect of my life. If I set realistic goals and expectations for myself I can accomplish anything I put my mind to do. It's that simple. What holding me back? Here's to keeping up with this blog and being accountable everyday. That is my new challenge. I am going to write on this blog everyday and report what I did that day. The good, the bad and the ugly. Life is too short to not enjoy it. I am started the day out exercising. I always feel better after a good workout. I then made Swedish Pancakes with homemade buttermilk syrup for the kids. I had Taylor take to get the whip cream from the fridge. It ended up being cream cheese frosting and they loved it! I let them also have chocolate milk to go with the pancakes. Talk about sugar overkill! Oh well, what can you do? After breakfast I had to go lay down and rest. I still have been really tired everyday. I am trying to fight through the fatigue but each day I still have to lay down. I may need to go to the doctor and find out what is making me so tired. Anyway,We then picked up the house and had lunch. It was fun to talk around the table and laugh about silly nonsense. Abby kept giving me the cutest smiles through lunch. I couldn't help but think how awesome it is that I get to stay home with my kids. I gave the 3 youngest a bubble bath. Abby kept saying, "bubbles" and then would scoop up the bubbles in her hand and laugh. It was so cute. She is starting to say quite a few words. I let the kids have free time while ran to the grocery store. We ate dinner and then headed to the park. It was a great day and each day is getting better.
