This past week I successfully completed my very first Boot Camp. 3 hours of intense exercise (mainly outside) for 5 straight days. The first day it was 99 degress outside. The hotest day of the year so far. Each day we would start with a walk/run. Usually 3-5 miles; one day with an 8 pound weight in my backpack. By Wednesday I had 4 blisters on my toes. But I persevered. I am very proud of myself and don't mind telling you about it. After years of battling health issues that were greater than myself, I am thankful to have renewed health and energy (along with a peaceful mind.)
If anyone is interested in a great place to exercise and develop a good network of friends, I recommend Barr Belles here in Covington. One year ago I could not have even made it through 20 min. of moderate exercise. Now, I just love it!

- In a former life I was an obsessive, overly-organized, list-creating freak! I have a BFA in Communications and a Masters of Business Administration. I recently left a great job working for my family's business. Little did I know that quitting that job to be wife and mom would be the most important and gratifying job I have or will ever know. I am no longer organized, I seldom can find the lists I actually do still make and I'm not sure I have completed a project in 2 years. But I could not be happier. I am a Child of God. I am mercifully blessed to know my Creator and I pray daily that my children will come to know Him, too. I am a Wife. I love my husband. He is my best friend. He is everything to me. I am obviously Mom to my two beautiful girls. Need I say more? I spend what little time and energy I have left trying to be Friend to the few that I have stuck with me through the years :) As a stay at home mother I wonder how I will find the time to keep this blog updated. However, I have always enjoyed a challenge and this should be no different.
