(Day 12) Veggies

(Day 12) Veggies - Okay, I'll be honest... The only veggies I had today were in my green shake this morning. But I did have a (apple) fritter from the Brown Dog and it was AMAZING!

Not only is he my best friend in the entire world, but he's also the love of my life! I couldn't do life without him. We've had quite the journey together over the past 8 years and I look forward to many more years with him by my side. He pushes me to be a better person in every aspect of my life and he's proof that anyone can transform their body with nutrition and hard work. (see below)

P.s. I hope he doesn't kill me for posting this photo! シ

Our day started out with a sleep-in... I'm still not sure how it happened, but we made it to 8:30 this morning! I know what most of you are thinking, but trust me... 8:30 a.m. is a "sleep-in" in our home. Then we had a big breakfast and slapped on the SPF60 before heading out on the river trail. It was beautiful, peaceful, and precious and next thing we knew, we had completed a 9 kilometres (5.6 miles) walk/workout! 

A few things... 

• Wearing SPF60 was a must! The sun was burning strong and bright!
• We kept a good pace for having the little man with us. Thankful for our stroller. It was an investment, but totally worth every penny! 
• I guzzled a ton of water and loved every moment of it!
• 9 kilometres (5.6 miles) was the longest distance I have done since my 1/2 marathon in 2010. Kind of makes me want to push harder and see how much further I can go. Kind of... 
• No shin splints! But now my hips are sore. 
• Working out as a family is waaaaaaaaaaay more fun than working out alone!

Have I mentioned that I love weekends? 'Cause if I haven't, I sure do! Love spending time with our little family. Thank you Jesus for the beautiful day and the opportunity to spend it as a family!
