Accountability...

For now while I have pretty much NO readers I am going to send this post out into blog space and tell that space that it is now my accountability partner (until further notice- which would be when I make some wonderful blogging friends and they decide to take space's space as such).

I am going to:

1)  Start Waking up at 5:00 a.m. (yes- that's in the morning when it's still dark) on weekdays

2)  Exercise in the morning on weekdays

3)  Do my bible study 7 days a week in the mornings right when I wake

4)  Wake up 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. on weekends

5)  Plan my days in an organized fashion in the mornings so I know what all is to be done and completed in that fabulous day

6)  Get breakfast and school lunches started before I wake the kiddos

7)  And finally:  Do all of these things before the munchkins rise and shine or rise anyway.

8)  Oh and one more:  Make the beds before I take Little Man to school while kiddos are eating breakfast.

And do it all with a sMile.   (Or at least with open eyes -baby steps my friends or space or whoever).

"She rises while it is yet night

and provides food for her household

and portions for her maidens."

-Proverbs 31:15

(I added this just because it cracks me up.  HA!)

Success Story on Cathe...

I'm trying to win a contest on Cathe Friedrich's Site (you know- my workout idol!).

It is a Success Story Contest- the winner wins $100 in FREE Cathe stuff- yay!!!

Help me out by going over there and leaving comments on my story. I'm not sure that it matters towards the picking of the winner- but just in case- THANKS!!!

Go HERE to check it out! Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore...

On Sundays I always go for my long run. Yesterdays run was supposed to be 9 miles. My hubby who is also training for the same 1/2 marathon as myself runs his long run on Saturdays. So he went on his the day before me and told me about this great 9 mile path he followed. He had measured it and it was perfectly 9 miles. No guessing- No problem. Right?

So yesterday my running buds and myself head out. I tell them we are going to try this great path that my husband did the day before. HA!

I so missed the turn and we ended up out in the middle of stinkin' NO Where!!! When we finally figured out where we were we were almost to the next town over! We ended up running 10 miles and finally had to stop at a house (I knew the people) and the husband gave us a ride to our cars, which we were still about 4-5 miles away from!

I told my man I was no good with directions! Next time maybe he'll believe me!

Hungry Mom's Walking Challenge (Runners Welcome too)...

I'm hosting a weekly Walking Challenge on my other blog
Diary of a Hungry Mom.

Basically if you're up to the challenge you set a goal of mileage you're willing to reach for, sign up with MckLinky, leave a comment letting us know your mileage goal,
and then come back and let us know how it's going every week for the next month.

The idea is accountability.

If you're interested go check it out HERE.

Happy Walking! Runners Welcome too!

I also posted some before and after pics of myself from the past years
journey of getting healthy HERE.
