Wellness Challenge: Day4

So far we have kept all our points every day! My body is so sore, im exhausted and I want some chocolate cake sooo bad! Its only day 4 and 86 days left to go! I'm glad I have had a busy schedule this week to keep my mind busy and so I have not given in on anything!
It has been nice being able to set aside time to either blog, write in my journal or Macy's journal. I have been wanting to keep up with it forever, but have had no motivation to. I got the idea to start a journal for Macy from my cousin in law, Gina. I write in it how she is growing, things we have been doing etc. I think she will enjoy reading it one day. :)
I have sort of been busy lately taking photographs for people. Its been nice to have something to do that I love and keep me busy and also make a little extra money. I got a phone call from the office I used to work at asking me if I would like to come back to work. I had to decline even part time because I am having such a good time being with my little Macy bug every day. I am grateful that I have this opportunity.

The Wellness Challenge: Day 1

Nick and I have decided to participate in a wellness challenge that starts today and goes on for 12 weeks. I was a little hesitant at first, but I figured what do I have to lose? I have been wanting to get back in shape for a while now and I have just had nothing to motivate me. I want to make a good habit out of exercise and eating right before we try for baby #2. I found out about this challenge through a friend and after some thought, I decided to do it. I even got Nick to join in with me. There are certain things you have to do/not do every day and you get points for them. All participants put in $10 and the winner at the end takes it all. I figure Its a win/win situation. I win money and am healthier or I am just healthier! One of the things we have to do everyday is to make a new good habit. I chose mine to journal or blog daily, so you will be seeing more going on on our blog! I look forward to seeing how we do! Here's to a better, healthier Vadney family :)


This is what we have to do on a daily basis:
7 hours of sleep (not necessarily consecutive – nap counts too!)
