Running toward new goals...

I didn't do so well with my 2011 goals...so now I've decided to beat the New Years resolution deadline for 2012! I've just joined the gym and am starting to train for a 5K. I have a bunch of girlfriends (including my sister) supporting me and it feels really good! I decided that, instead of going home to sit on the couch and watch the Biggest Loser, I am going to the gym to watch it as I speed-walk/slow-jog my 5K tonight!

Another goal of mine is to set a bedtime and stick to it! So far that's going well...the part I need work on is getting up in the morning when my alarm clock goes off the first time. I think I need the coffee pot next to my bed!

My third goal is to start eating healthier. I've always been a bit overwhelmed by this one but I feel that once my body is on track with sleep and more regular exercise that will happen a bit more naturally - or so I hope! Wish me luck! Hope this is of some motivation to those who happen to read this!

Stay tuned for the next ISO Photo Challenge: "Thankful". Coming soon to a blog near you!

ISO Challenge: Love

I feel that so many of my photos have an element of love in them so

I thought it would be tough to choose just one photo to enter into this challenge, but that changed when I heard my pastors sermon on marriage today.

 It made me realize just how truly blessed I am to be married to my husband Chad.

We have had our ups and downs and faced some difficult challenges along the way; we have also had some great times and made some wonderful memories together.

I know that we have learned to love each other more than we could have imagined we would, and I'm so thankful that he loves me the way that he does.

That's why I've chosen this photo to share with you:

Love ♥
