Tiny Dancers

Pictured above is my older sister, Becky, and I (age five) before my first dance recital. I'm on deck to teach Hailey's class again this week...she's still loving ballet, hooray!

A Healthy Wager

My sisters and I have challenged one another to get healthy in 2011. In order to motivate and hold ourselves accountable, we are throwing some change into 1 or 2 pots each day: "WAY TO GO!" and "UH-OH!" Each goal is worth 25 cents- if you complete the goals of the day, 25-50 cents are added to the "WAY TO GO!" jar. If you do not complete one or both goals of the day, the change is added to the "UH-OH!" jar. We rest from exercise on Sunday. The one with the MOST in the "WAY TO GO!" jar WINS the change in everyone else's "UH-OH!" jar. The challenge lasts for 50 days and we start today!

They've done the research (thank you) and I feel like shedding some inches and taking better care of myself, so I'm actually excited!

Here are the goals:


(Diet) "The 7-day Low Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan" (book written by Dr. Rachael F. Heller and D. Richard F. Heller)- Eat a low carb veggie and protein before eating any carbs, and reduce carb intake


*I've added NO eating after 8 pm and drink 8 glasses of water/day

(Exercise)- Exercise a minimum of 10 minutes per day, and at least 30 minutes 3 times per week
