That's my new motto. Today I turn 38, and I fully intend to live out the rest of my years as a healthy and fit woman. So There! At least that's what I told myself over and over this morning when I convinced myself to do my walk at 4:30 am. It would have been so easy to skip a workout today, given that it IS my birthday and I can do whatever I want. HOWEVER, I wrote on my calendar that I would work out 6 days per week this month. Besides, I also had Richard Simmons' voice in my ear telling me that I only have to exercise if I want to eat - and I fully intend to eat today!
So, a funny thing happened on my 75-minute walk this morning. I went to take a sip out of my water bottle and whacked myself in the lip with it. All I could taste for the next 20 minutes was blood. At work this morning I spilled coffee onto my lap - I'll give you one guess as to what it looks like I just did. Not pretty! I'm going to bingo with my BFFs tonight, so hopefully this rotten luck won't last all day!
I'm meeting my Mom for lunch at one of my favorite restaurants. I foresee more pasta on the horizon... Saturday night was fun - we went for a decadent pasta supper, followed by 3 strings of bowling. Unfortunately one of my BFFs couldn't come, as she was feeling under the weather.
My little one started ringuette (hockey for girls) this weekend. She absolutely LOVES this sport. Unfortunately I'll be spending a lot of time in cold arenas this winter. Ugh! She's so cute, though...
Enough babbling for today. I wish each and every one of you a wonderful, healthful day!!!

Happy Birthday!
Here's a to a fit new you! ;)
My boys play ice hockey and omg, I freeze all winter long. My dd tried it and didn't like it...she played street hockey, but the gear and all, not for her. So now she's doing field hockey, which is different. My boys also do street/dek hockey...my oldest son's tournament team, won the US Nationals for penguins. :) Ok, enough of that! LOL!
Hope you have a wonderful birthday and no more spills and fat lips. ;)
I hope it has been an absolutely fantastic day for you. Flubs and all.....Remember this!!!! Today is your first day of being FINE!!! There is an old saying that goes" it get sweeter as the days go by".....but with Angel we will say "she gets FINER as the days go by"
Blessings for strength to become the "Fine" you want to be. Chargail
Hope you birthday was filled with happiness and fabulousness, aside from the momentary spurt of bad luck in the morning . . . way to go for kickstarting it with a work out. You're definitely ringing the new year in right!
Good morning!
