If I Could Plagiarize For A Moment...

This week to keep me on track for not eating excessively or anything that does not add to my temple, I'm going to use myfitnesspal to keep track of my food in-take. I had a lot of friends suggest I do this and come along side me to keep me accountable; so, shout-out to all you guys who are awesome! I love you all! I have the best friends! I hope you don't mind me calling you out: Meaghan, Kate, Jennifer, Eileen, Ryan, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Shaye, and Bri. Thanks, friends. Your support gets me through the rough times!


Shakeology has been awesome! I've been getting the kids to drink it even. I accidentally got Felipe to drink it. I didn't realize he was drinking it and we went one day without any Shakeology because I didn't order it quickly enough. It has been the best step we've taken as a family toward health.

And if I could plagiarize a couple paragraphs I would, but since I can't in good conscience, I'll just share them:
"Perhaps from my vantage point of 55 years of age, one willingly accepts that there is more to fitness than pornography. Somehow the butt-baring image just doesn't work after a time. So what then is the new direction of fitness? If you ask me, the key to fitness is being able to move your body in the way it was meant to move.
It means you can run, jump, swim, play, bend, walk and lift with all parts of your body from joints, muscles and bones to hands and feet, all body parts working in unison. It means that if you had to run 5K to get away from danger, if you had to swim for 20 minutes to save yourself in a flood, if you had to lift a heavy weight out of the way to free yourself, something or someone else, you could do it."

If you made it this far down, I want to do a race. Spartan? Seems too intense? Ideas? How do I pick? http://www.dfwraces.com/ Help me!

  1. Thank you, Lauren. I think if I keep reading your blog, I just might decide to work harder at being healthy. The piece you borrowed above was very encouraging to me as I am in that age range. You rock!
