Day 5 and True Inspiration

I started to blog lastnight and wasn't sure exactly what to say. I'm sure it will take some time to get used to the whole idea of blogging but today...I have a very clear reason to blog. I spent a good part of the day helping my daughters move their stuff and get the youngest set up with a bed in her new apartment. As my granddaughter and I start heading home to Rochester (she's staying with me for a week) she says to me..."Nammie, I want to ride my bike!" My heart skipped a beat because Little Miss Taylor (she's 3) is one of the most important reasons I'm on this journey of change and healthy living.

SO, we got home and we donned our helmet and walking shoes...off we went.

Granted, we weren't sprinting but we were Nammie and Taylor out for a walk/ride regardless of a few sprinkles. It's a reminder that I want to experience the joys of spending time with her trying new adventures, experiencing movement, enjoying fitness events together. I dream of her joining me in running someday. That she and I will register for 5K races together and enjoy the excitement of finishing a race.

Tomorrow, she and Mikki will go with me to the 5K in Olympia..."Run Like a Dog" - I registered for the race yesterday and I'll wear this fancy Tshirt with my lucky number 1236! Gonna do it!

When given a choice for dinner, Taylor picked roasted chicken and green beans! I just love that she really enjoys healthy food. Once again, she polished off the green beans first and had some of the chicken breast. My girl loves her veggies. For a "before bed snack" she asked for an apple. Gotta love it! I've said before...if she asks for books, fruits or veggies I doubt I'd ever say no!

Well, off to bed for a good night's sleep.
