Healthy Habits / Starting Again

This weekend my parents came up, and we went on a family snowshoeing excursion. It was a blast. The day was perfect, and we spent two hours exploring the trails at Hazen's Notch. It was a great day.



Today's my hubby's birthday. We celebrated this weekend, and we made some healthy goals. I'm going to do a couch to 5k program with him while doing my half training. We're planning on running a 5k together in May. I'm excited to have a training buddy.

We also decided to go back to one of the first healthy changes we made. Years ago, when we first decided to get healthy, we started by doing yoga almost every night. It was great. Last night, we started it up again. We did a half hour of yoga before bed. The kids joined us, and we had fun. Everyone was relaxed and ready for bed when we finished. Even the Artist, who would stay up all night if we let him, went immediately to sleep.

I woke up feeling refreshed and ready for this week. It's a nice change after a few not so great weeks. I even went for a run this morning. 3.15 miles on slippery sidewalks. I had to walk more than I wanted, but it was sketchy in some spots. Still, I'm glad I went.

After work, I practiced Do-San. It's getting better. Slowly. Tournaments don't start until March, so I've got a little time. I'm psyched for TKD tonight!

Positive, Fun Resolutions

First snowshoe of the season!!

Winter is quickly becoming my favorite season, and it's mainly because of snowshoeing. I've been waiting impatiently for snow this year. I want to snowshoe a lot this winter. I think I only went twice last year because it was so cold. Here's hoping we have a lot of the white stuff and temps above 0 this year!

2016 has started well. Yesterday, I got up early for a walk with two of my favorite people, and we spent the morning sledding with all the kiddos. It was such a fun day. This morning was an early morning snowshoe and some more sledding later on.

I decided to set some resolutions this year, but I wanted them to be positive and fun.


  • get passports for the whole family
  • hike Camel's Hump with Andy
  • finish my next book
  • simplify my work life
  • read at least 1 book/month
  • more cooking/family dinners
  • go somewhere new
This list makes me excited for 2016.
