Off to work we go!!!

Good morning everyone!
It is the first week into our adventure and we aren't doing horribly. Our eating habits have not been exactly perfect but we are not munching like we were. I learned a tip that I thought might be really helpful and I am going to try it. EVERY time I eat, I am going to brush my teeth. Now I know that sounds crazy, of course we brush our teeth, but I mean even after drinking something sweet or eating just a small snack. They say it's easier to turn down something when your teeth feel that clean and you have the taste of toothpaste in your mouth. We'll try and let you know.
We have been drinking much more water and have not had any pop except on Friday when we visited with some friends, and then it was only a small amount. I know that it's only been one week, and this is the first post. I apologize for that, I have been trying to upload the pictures on the side with our stat box and have really had a hard time. For some reason this morning, it was just as easy at it always should have been.
Kayla has been playing up a storm, she has some new friends in the neighborhood and that has caused her to love being outside. I think in her case, this will help her the most, just simply being more active than she has been. I have to remind her to come in every 30 minutes to get a drink of water because it has been ridiculously hot here.
Dylan figured out that he does not know how to jump rope. I don't know how that got past us, but we found out at his field day this year that it was a coordination skill that he never picked up on. So that is his goal this summer along with getting fit, to learn how to jump rope. He said he can't believe how much it really uses your whole body. He is timing himself and his goal is to hit at least 60 jumps per minute, 1 per second. He is at 23 right now. Not bad considering it he only got 8 per minute on field day. I'm just proud he is trying.
Nate is working like a dog, but tonight we are going to get in the basement and organize our equipment. We have lots down there, but aren't set up to make it effective. So our workout tonight will be cleaning it up and organizing it.
As for me. I am walking to work everyday now, starting today. I go in this morning to take blood work and get my physical. I only live 3-4 minutes from the hospital by car. I am going to walk it and see how far it is, I actually have a bill to go pay too and I will do it on the way home. So today's walk although I will measure it, will not be an accurate distance of what I will begin to walk everyday to and from work.
Gotta go get ready for now. I feel better knowing I got on here. Several of you have said you read this, I would love to hear your comments too. Be sure to leave a note. If you really don't want to that's fine too.
Till tomorrow!
Tanya
