What about you? Are you one of the healthiest women in the world?

http://blogs.babycenter.com/mom_stories/im-one-of-the-worlds-healthiest-women/

After reading this article I guess I'm a healthy person. I cook all my meals for my family. We hardly ever eat out even when it would be easier to do on Justin's sport days and boy scouts days. I will cook with olive oil and make veggies. I try to incorporate all the food groups. I hate veggies just like Steve. Cooking meat has been a huge task for me lately. Every time I see any kind of meat it makes me want to yak. I don't know why. The boys are picky eaters. I think any child is at a point in time is. I know my nephew is the only kid who will eat tomatoes instead of a candy bar. I have been really working on losing the rest of my baby fat from Popsicle which is turning out to be very hard with my busy schedule. Word of advice don't try to do jumping jack holding a 15 month old. Your arms will ache the next day. I swear I'm getting too old for all this high demand to be fit. It was very easy after I had Justin. I think I have to give up driving break out the stroller to get the rest of the weight off. Steve laughs at me for the walks I still take to clear my head. Even if it is on the treadmill in the basement. I won't walk down my street people are crazy.  I think the whole idea of being healthy is to watch what you eat. Give yourself a cheat day and don't obsess about it. Steve and I workout together we make it fun. Sometimes it's a family event like running in the yard, ice skating, riding bikes, yoga. I even have Christopher doing baby yoga. It's adorable to see him do downward facing dog. I had to teach him how to do it so he would stop climbing on me. Tell me what you all think how do you stay fit?

Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream" Speech

This was a man who set out to make his dreams come true no matter what the cost. He fought for equal rights for all people. His words are strong and bold. Let today be the day you honor his words. Let today be the start of a new day. Be kind to others.

Monster Jam

Steve and I bought tickets for Justin back in December for one of his Christmas gifts. He loves these trucks. Grave digger is his favorite of all time. Steve was able to get grave digger to sign a shirt for Jay so he can wear it. We also stood in line for two hours to get the other drivers to sign another shirt. Grave digger (truck).jpg I had a blast hearing Steve and Jay yelling and betting on which truck would win the race. It was great! I think there where sixteen drivers total. Steve wants to get tickets for March if we are still in town. Some man sat next to Steve just talking away like he knew him for years. He makes friends everywhere we go. The man was real nice. I met another woman in the bathroom who did the same thing. I find it funny how someone doesn't know you but starts talking about anything and everything to you. Justin was hoping to see some turn over and wrecks which we did. One driver lost her horns. She gave them to someone in the crowd. We seen the person in line waiting to get it signed. Traffic was all clear by the time we left which was great. I hate sitting in the car after New York last year. We did past this pastry shop on the way to the car. I love this place. Steve and I are going to have to find a reason to go to Greek Town now besides the Casino. I ate the most delicious red velvet cupcake in the world. I don't know what it is since Christopher has been born. I have had this thing for cupcakes. Justin ate some peanut butter mud pie while Steve had a brownie. There is no way I could ever own a bakery shop. I would be a 600 pound Mexican. I can't have that! Thank God it's in Detroit. I don't like to drive down there. As we were leaving I saw a Chocolate Cannoli calling my name. I ran out of the shop. I couldn’t handle it anymore! I have a weakness for fabulous goodies like Baklava and Cheesecake which we are debating on if that will be our cake when we re-new our vows. I'm so excited to start planning it. I could go on forever just talking about it since I always have a lot to say. I 'll give a little now and a little later to keep you coming back. Have a good night.
