Today's challenge: Getting everything that I need to get done today. Staying hydrated.

Planned fitness: 50 minute chest and tricep work-out, 2 to 3 mile run, doing abdominal work-out twice today.

Note on picture: This is one of the very first pictures that I took when I first started my Our Darling Kids blog six months ago. I'm using it this morning because I'm having a few snafues with my camera. But don't these strawberries look good? I bought this for a $1.50 at the time, and their only 9 calories an ounce. Go eat some strawberries people! It's Friday!

Added note: And here's a ditty for my newest follower Mr. Jack (sorry can't swear here.)

Is it Worth It?

Sometimes I don't feel like doing it all

Eating right and eating small

I don't want to go work-out

I just want to lay about

I'm tired of running

and weight lifting too

Tired, just tired

Of all that I do...

To make my body

Look magical

Is it all worth it?

Worth it all?

Is it worth it?

To try to be small?

I think it's worth it

To seek your prize

To sweat and die

And try till you cry

It's worth it all

When in the end

You love how you feel...

You'd do it all again.
