Day 6: A Picture of Your Most Treasured Item
So, I tried being all fancy and awesome photoggrapher-y, but I am NOT a photographer, nor do I have a camera capable of capturing what I wanted to capture. So I ripped this one from google images. :)

Day 6: A Picture of a Person You Would Love to Trade Places with for a Day
It's no one famous or rich or superwise....it's my little girl. To be 5 years old again and have the knowledge I do now...dude, I would have the best day EVER. I'd okay all day and take a nap and play in the bathtub....I love watching her watch the world...I want to have her passion and zest. She is such a precious inspiration.

Day 5: A Picture of Your Favorite Memory
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! I should have read into this 30 day picture challenge a little better, because...um....ONE favorite memory? I'm married and have two kids, there's three favorites right off the bat! If I could only pick ONE, and I guess that's all I'm allowed, it would be this:
This was the day Eric and I were married, after painting the town, back in our hotel for the evening. That moment of realization that, "I am going to spend the rest of my life with you"....yeah. Best moment ever.
I've got a Cinnamon Crumb Coffee Cake in the oven for Eric and the peeps in his office (they got brownies last week, we love to spoil them), and they smell amazing! But rather than dig into THOSE, I'm going to knock out sme cardio...then maybe I won't feel too bad when I drink some coffee later.
After 6 weeks of not smoking, this weekend I had two glasses of wine and three cups of coffee and survived! Didn't even want the cigarette! And on Sunday night, a bunch of people around me were smoking and it was FINALLY gross to me...not the act, just the smell. but hey, baby steps!
I've also decided I'm not going to post 45 day pictures for P90X because I would rather wait and show some super dramatic 60 day pictures in two weeks. But I will be uploading a new vlog today...what about, you ask? Oh, you must WAIT!
The weather is super gross here today. I'm so ready to go back to Jax where it's hot and humid. I'm a freak, I know.
Happy Tuesday!

So, here I am to catch up!
Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest
We've known eachother for....15 years now? We were typical teenage girls, swinging between super best friends and plenty of years of silence. But she's my person. My very best girlfriend. I love her dearly, and always will.
Jillian and Bob for life. This show makes me cry every. single. week. Love watching people earn their lives back. It's amazing.
If you've never seen this show, you can never understand how brilliant television really can be. And I mean, BRILLIANT. This is the best show from start to finish I've ever seen. Love.
Jack Bauer. I don't need to explain anything else.
Buffffffffyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Saved the best for last. How often do guilty pleasures and television perfection meet? I'll tell you. Once. Right here.
Wait, my night? Like, last night? Um.......weird. But OK. Most likely looked like this:

So, today is Day One!
1. I was born a Patriots fan, converted to the Jags due to home residence in 1995, and converted back to the Pats when I married my husband, who is a Pats fan. A couple of the great things about being in this position is that I was born in Mass, so no one can say I am a bandwagoner, and my husband and I always agree on football (very important).
2. I've recently learned that by giving my life to God...like, REALLY giving Him my life, and saying, "Empty me of me and fill me with you," life is becoming more and more enjoyable!! I don't sweat small stuff, I feel organized, focused, and driven. And not as selfish (but that's a constant struggle!)
3. I have a really hot husband. No, really. Check him out. His innards match the outside, which is super awesome.
4. My kids are the the second and third funniest people I've ever met.
5. The first is my dad.
6. My daughter will be 5 next month, but she's starting Kindergarten next week! I've been looking forward to truly homeschooling her for years, and am so excited that the time is NOW!
7. Singing makes just about everything better for me. Specifically Idina Menzel.
8. I could survive on chocolate shakeology, peanut butter, and coconut milk. I think.
9. German is my favorite language, and I'd really like to become fluent.
10. I'm really excited to spend two days and nights with just my husband, starting this afternoon. Thanks Gammy!

A Break From The Norm
Ok, so today I am taking a break from posting about all things Beachbody. Unless something slips in, of course. :)
Today I want to talk about some of my favorite things!!
I think it's interesting how over the course of my life, my "favorite" things have changed so much. I feel like a lot of me is the same, but the things I love are so different from what they were 6 or 7 years ago! So, to show as such, I'm going to go through a list of my favorite things now, and place in parentheses what they were a few years back. I encourage you to do the same! It's pretty entertaining!
Favorite color: PINK. I LOVE pink. I used to loathe it. But now, there isn't a color that better represents me. (black)
Favorite book: Oh, so...so...SO HARD! I think for now I'd have to go with Pride and Prejudice. EVERYTHING about that book is sheer perfection. Unargueable perfection!!!! (The Poisonwood Bible. Which, to be fair, is still on my top ten list)
Favorite movie: Fight Club. Some things never change, shouldn't have to change, understandably don't change. This, I doubt, will ever change. (Fight Club)
Favorite pastime(s): Singing and Dancing with my kids, long, uninterupted bubble baths, a good workout, and social media (drinking, partying, eating out, being lazy).
Favorite foods: SHAKEOLOGY, thai fried rice or drunken noddles, mahi burgers, pasta (pickles, jamaican chicken and rice from Hops, pasta, Malibu)
Favorite Musicians: Pink, David Cook, Dave Matthews, Matt Nathanson, Erin McCarley, Sara Bareilles (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Dave Matthews, Zeppelin, and a little country)
How about YOU? I'd love if in the comments section you'd post your old and current favorites. Let me in! :)

Running, Stretching, and Coconut Milk
Hello bloggy friends!
I'm in Week 4 of p90x...decided that since this is "recovery" week (read: lots o'cardio, no strength training), I would introduce running back to my life. I'm running a 5k in May like I have for the last two years...first year I ran like a 37 minute (yeah, I walked a lot), and last year I ran like a 33 I think (not as much walking), but this year my goal is under 25 minutes. Between quitting smoking and getting healthy, I don't think it will be as hard as I originally thought. I decided to use Couch 25k to help me achieve my goal...by switching up it's instructions. I'm treating it as interval training, so rather than walking and then running, I'm running...and then running faster. :) I started yesterday, knocked out almost 3 miles in 30 minutes, and that's with 5 minutes walking to warm up and 5 minutes walking to cool down. I think I've got this!!! It felt great...and reinforced for me how important to my health it is to be smoke-free. <3
Along with lots of cardio this week, I get lots of yoga, which I love. Parts of me want to be a runner or a kick-boxer or something of that nature...when, at the heart of it, I am really a yoga girl. Stretching for the win! I'm looking forward to finding some even more intense yoga classes once I finish p90x.
Getting ready for my 5k has been heavily inspired by my newfound love for my chocolate shakeology with a quarter cup of light coconut milk...in fact, I'm drinking one RIGHT NOW!!!!! The absolute most delicious concoction out there, and the healthiest thing I can consume? Um, yes please!!!!!!
So, I'm off to do some yoga, but wanted to pop in and say hi, since it's been a couple weeks (Happy February, by the way!). Looking forward to posting my 30 day pictures on Wednesday next week!!!!
