This weekend, we made a little trip to Dallas. It was a lot of fun, but it also meant a little bit of a struggle to stick to the plan. Luckily, the hotel we stayed at had a nice workout room and healthy options for breakfast. I did a day of cardio and a day of strength training so that I didn't get off schedule. While in Dallas, we did some shopping. At the Galleria, I went to the Lululemon store for the first time. Super cute stuff, but [.....]
Today, my workout plan called for cardio.

I've been throwing around the idea of this blog for over a year. I kept meaning to start it, but then I never made it past the first day!
My biggest obstacle is the fact that I have a wicked Pepsi addiction. Like, close to 1000 calorie intake from Pepsi every day. SO BAD FOR ME.
Throughout the month of December, I went back and forth in my mind about giving up Pepsi. When I drank it, it didn't make me feel very good. [.....]
Here's us. Well, us, circa May 2001, the night before we got married. Me overweight at 19 years old with a hideous dye job that I did myself, with my 22 year old sweetheart of a hubby. Since then, our family has grown with the addition of three busy boys and three dogs. Those boys are now school age, two in middle school, one in elementary, which means lots of homework and activities to keep up with, as well as PTA and church commitments.
