Happy Mother's Day

As usual, I had a nice Mother's Day.  My husband and girls made me chocolate waffles with sliced strawberries for breakfast, smoked ribs for dinner and a fresh fruit tart for dessert (made by me, assembled by Lance).

My girls made me some really sweet cards. 

This is the "trick" card from Sophie.  It says,"Mom you are a turkey!"

This was the "real" card inside!

This is the card from Avery!

But I got a unique present for myself this year... Peak Fit and BodyMedia.  I've been doing the Peak workouts for a year now.  They are crazy hard and crazy good! Using them I have gotten in even better shape than when I trained for my marathon.  There is just no explaining them; you'd have to do them to understand (feel free to come join me anytime!).  I'm excited to do these new Peak 10 workouts in this 8 week program and take my fitness to the next level.  I got the BodyMedia so that as I do the program, I can really track the calories I burn accurately.

The hard part is going to be following the nutrition portion of the program.  I love to workout, but I also love sweets and guess what, they didn't include cupcakes (or anything like it) on the plan.  Dang it...!  But I'm excited to start and see what I can accomplish.

So today, I'll enjoy all the yummy treats my family is making me.  Tomorrow I'll enjoy some more and let's be honest for the rest of this week too. But when I get back from Utah... egg whites and kale...here I come!
