Okay, last week I worked on taking my daily vitamin and drinking two glasses of water each day. I did pretty good at this. This week I am going to challenge myself to drinking four glasses of water each day, taking my vitamin and walking two days during the week on the treadmill. I am going to walk for 25 minutes each day. I went through 6 months of physical therapy last year from being over zealous with the exercise on vacation, so I am started out slow. Real slow. :)
I have also decided to join Weight Watchers when I return from vacation. I am starting to do a little research and have found some great blogger's who share wonderful WW recipes. I will be doing a post soon. So, if you are up for the Happy and Health Mom challenge for this week, get those walking shoes on!
And don't forget water and vitamins. Going to take mine right now!

Getting Old
I just looked down at my hands hitting the keyboard. Bad idea. They look wrinkly and old. Who's are those? How did THAT happen? I sure don't feel any different on the inside, but my outsides are starting to scream "I am OVER forty!". I am not ready.
I realize that I have not been taking very good care of myself over the last 6 years or so. Not only am I GETTING older, but I am MAKING myself older by not taking the time to exercise, eat right, moisturize, condition, firm, de-stress and dress up those body parts that are going to take me through the rest of my years here on earth. Now, I am not a superficial person and don't believe that you should put yourself first (God belongs there) however, I think that I have been in last place so long that "The End" is embedded on my now rather large bum.
Six years and about sixty extra pounds is what I am facing. And I am not happy about it. I want my hubby to be able to walk about with someone who is proud of who she is and right now, that ain't me. I just realized something. I have homeschooled the past six years. The six years that I have slowly been deteriorating. Hmm... wonder what the connection is there. This is the same six years that we started eating organic, whole foods. The same year that I learned to bake some really good foods. Hmm.....
Anyhoo, just wanted you to be fore warned that some mommy's getting healthy post are forth coming. I want to feel like my hubby's "better" half. Not the larger one. :)
Wednesday's here at Pappa Doodles are going to become Happy and Healthy Mom's day. I am going to put a weekly challenge for myself to try and turn my unhealthy living around.
This week's challenge for myself is to take a multi-vitamin a day and drink at least two glasses of just pure water. If you know me, you know this will be a challenge. I am not a water lover. Sweet tea and coffee. Those are my liquids of choice.
So, there it is. My plan. I could use some prayers here. Happy Wednesday.
