I did it!

I went walk/jogging for 3 miles today!! And I didnt die! It was incredible, it was really hard but at one point I said to myself "I can do this" once I got into my groove I felt like I could have run the whole thing, and then.......the bladder. Having kids has done awful things to my bladder and the muscles that keep me from embarrassing myself. I wish I would have thought of that before I left because I think I could have run the whole thing. In the end I think I ran at least half of it if not a little more. But now it won't be as scary the next time because I know what to expect. Wish me luck!!
P.S. Biggest loser was awesome last week or whenever the finale was, and last night where are they now was pretty good too. It got me motivated.

A little winter recipe

I havent updated for a very good reason, I'm lazy. More like embarrassed that I havent exercised in something like 4 months. I know, bad me. I however havent done too bad on my eating habits. I have had a lot of bad days but I always make up for them with good days. I have done better the last few weeks but its not much good without exercise. I watched biggest loser finale last night and it inspired me to see the finalists at the end and how amazing they looked. I promise myself this season to limit my intake of sweets and donated goodies to a bare minimum and make sure my kids eat them to hike up their sugar levels to create holiday cheer and craziness. I will be sure to make sure they run circles around the house to work off all the extra calories and to brush extra hard. Now coming to my point, I have a really good soup recipe. It's almost like chili but not. Its called 3 bean soup and its pretty low fat.

Here is a picture of the final product. I added another can of chicken broth to make it more soupy and so did my mom. It makes plenty, for leftovers. (You might want to make it in a bigger pan than I did)
