I'm back home from my visit with kids and grandkids. It was great! It was a nice break from the routine and it was just fun to spend time with my kids. I did pretty well on my "challenge journey" I woke up bright and early on Friday morning and made cookies to take to my grandkids then I did a quick 40 minute walk before I had to be to the airport to catch my plane to Kansas. I took some healthy snacks on the plane and saved the cookies they gave me on my flight for my grandkids. We did eat at McDonalds twice while I was there--but I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and said "no mayo please." We had papa murphy's pizza one night--my son ordered me the Veggie Delite. We did have a great dinner at an Italian Restaurant one night--that was a little tricky to order healthy--but I felt good about the Balsamic glazed chicken I ordered with a side of asparagus. It was delicious! The best thing I did on my trip was work out with my son and daughter in law at their gym--in Parkville, Missouri. It is an awesome YMCA--so nice and so family friendly. My daughter in law took me one day and we took the kids to the day care that the gym offers for free. The gym is very open--built on two levels so you can always look down while you are working out and check on the kids. They take great care of them--they know you are watching. Anyway, it was great and I had fun working out. I even jogged a few laps with my son--which I never do--I am not a runner.
Anyway, vacation over. Today Tina and I worked out bright and early with Chad. He worked us hard--but honestly it felt good. Tomorrow marks 4 weeks since we started the challenge--I am feeling so much stronger. Although I am not good at "Bear walking or crab walking" Chad makes us do funny things--I think he likes laughing at us.
Thanks everyone--you all inspire me!
