I love fried chicken!

Just when you think your kids are getting “it” a picture or essay comes home from school that proves you wrong J  Justin had to write a paragraph of his favorite food:
Greasy, Fried Chicken
My favorite food is fried chicken.  Fried chicken is very delicious.  They are juicy, and healthy.  If you taste it for the first time, you would go wild!  It has a lot of protein too.  You could buy it at Publix.  I love fried chicken!
Well, the good thing is that he knows chicken is a protein and proteins are important. But clearly we have some more work to do, like talk about how bad fried foods are for us, but my family has truly come quite a ways since I started my fitness journey. 
Joe and Justin received their report cards today and both made Honor Roll.  Joe was disappointed he missed straight A’s by 1 point.  We are so proud of all 3 boys for doing so well. 
Today was a great day, work could have been a bit more productive but there have been a few distractions there that I need to handle a bit better.  I’m letting some things get to me that I need to work on getting passed.
My eating was great today; a few of you asked why I wasn’t posting my food log anymore so I will begin to do so again tonight.  My water intake was great again today.  I drank just about a gallon today.  I can honestly say I’m feeling better physically and mentally about the water...it’s really not as bad as I made myself believe it was.
We had a GREAT group workout today, everyone worked hard and seemed to be pretty impressed with each other.  Right after our group workout I have my one on one training.  That was pretty tough but I think I did ok.  I felt great after the workouts, my head was clear and ready to focus on work; too bad my body didn’t agree haha.  Brent’s workouts are amazing and help me in so many ways; one of my favorite results is the instant release of stress…it’s amazing how differently you can feel from the time you walk into a workout to the time you crawl out...its great!
We have a small group from our Boot Camp at work who will be doing the Mud Run in October.  I am so excited that we have a few who are willing to do it.  I am so proud of them. It should be lots of fun.  Now to just get a few others to join in the mess J
I’ve been feeling good, feeling a bit confident; trying to approach things in a positive way and working on talking out things that I am unsure of.  I have such wonderful people, who are understanding, patient, so encouraging, and kind in my life.  I used to think that when something went well I was lucky…I am not lucky at all; I am, simply, blessed.

Here what I ate today:
715                         2 eggs, 3 links of turkey sausage, 4 oz. prune juice
1045                       1/2 banana, 8 almonds  (I missed my protein here)
230                         Turkey sausage with 1/2 cup onion, ½ cup mushrooms
530                         HUGE salad with lettuce, egg, grilled chicken, cucumber, bacon, tomato
1 Gallon of water throughout the day
