My B-Day Present to Myself

This is my birthday week and I've decided that enough is enough with the eating whatever whenever.  I'm not eating horribly, actually I'm still eating really well but I'm slipping back into some old habits and I need to stop.  So my gift to myself is eating clean and healthy again.  I figure if I focus hard on it this week then it'll get me back on track.

I have also been loving all of the outdoor exercise I've been getting.  Saturday I did 30 miles on the bike, a 16 mile ride with my sister then a 14 mile ride with Brandon and Nathan (2 of my sons).  This morning I did my 4 mile run then 5 mile bike ride. I LOVE EXERCISE!!!  I can't believe the rain waited for me this morning.  I want it to stop so the kids and I can do our afternoon bike ride.

So I am going to blog all my food and water intake this week so that I am totally accountable to myself along with my exercise.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY week to me! As a bonus I feel really happy about my body today.  I feel so healthy and strong!!!

  2. Happy Birthday!!!! You are so amazing!
    I love that you are posting what you are eating....gives me a better idea on how I should eat. I am getting back in gear this week too. I think I am finally ready to get going again...it has been a long and crazy (and rather stressful) 6 weeks. Can't wait for the sun to come out and stay for a while. :)
