The night before Christmas...and all through the house.

It's the night before Christmas...In all seriousness, I think as I sit here tonight, am more excited to start these 90 days then I even expected..As I took a walk with the girls earlier today, I thought again about how right this all feels. Not at all about what we are doing without, but more about becoming our best selves. As so many thoughts raced around my mind, I was both enjoying a summer stroll on a Friday evening ( back from picking up a bottle of wine to celebrate the move into our new house ) and looking forward to sitting down at the computer and connecting with my thoughts.
Funny enough, a few moments after we got home, I sat down with the girls in their seats in front of me. I had posted the title, and then, they woke up and were ready to eat much earlier then I planned. It was all clear, and out the window at the same time. With two beautiful girls starring up at me..I stopped and made them bottles..Feeding them I thought about how ironic it was. That yes, I was doing this so I could push myself to be my best, that I wanted to live a life with my husband and family that was long and active and that I wanted them to know and love a life of sport and activity. But much like I expect along the course of these 90 days, and life itself, things ( this brief time at the end of the day ) did not go according to plan. So as I fed them, and my husband walked through the door, I switched gears. Coming back to the computer hours later..My thoughts are the same. I am excited to do this. Scared to fail and desirous of seeing a part of myself I have not seen in awhile. The one that knows, and tells our 5 kids the only thing standing between can and can't is telling your self that you can.

so...here we go.
