Yet again - it's been too long since I've updated here... Life happens, I guess.
My healthy journey comes n' goes... For the last 2 months - my work out space has been interrupted - at best, so I am trying to deal with that in other healthy ways... Mostly walking - as a knee injury this spring halted my running - and I am still a bit afraid to test those waters again. Walking doesn't feel like it's a big enough work out for me, and I am missing my other forms of working out - in a bad way. It's been integrated into my life for 4 years now, and I can't wait to get back to it - hopefully this week. My eating has been less than stellar - at least over the last 2 weeks... As we are eyebrow deep in our kitchen remodel, and food prep has come to a total halt - which means a lot of eating out and eating easy to prepare foods... I am definitely feeling it. As a true life style change - I need to roll with the punches and make the best of every situation - which is exactly what I am trying to do.
Since my last update - Allison and I took her graduation trip to Disney in January - this was a fabulous and cold trip for us. I've never experienced cold like I experienced in Florida while we were there - and this is coming from a hearty Minnesotan - Yah - I was pretty disappointed in myself. LOL
A few photos from that trip...

We were also able to spend some time with Harry Potter and our good friend Santos on this trip - and that was an amazing day too!
Upon returning home - we went straight into "painting the living room" - in preparation for Allison's graduation... This turned into a full blown remodel of the entire space... And - as usual, it was way more work and way more labor intensive than we had planned. However, I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome - for someone who has hated their house for so many years - to have a space that I truly love, it's been a new experience for me.
And we just couldn't stop there... This led to a full blown remodel of our kitchen, as well... Again - it was much more labor intensive and it's taking much more time than we had hoped... but it's coming together nicely and I couldn't be more thrilled with it.
Over these last several months, I've come to terms with the fact that I have an old house (built in 1890) - and I've learned to embrace that, work with it and actually learn to love it. It's been a lot of fun and a very enjoyable experience... Something that is very new to me and very fun. I am dying to share pictures here of the kitchen remodel - but it's not finished yet, so I will hold off. ;) We've been able to keep what we loved about our kitchen (which wasn't much - lol) and add some fun things that really keep with the charm and character of our house. I have a feeling, this will also be a space that I love.
Anyways... My apologies for being such a sporadic updater here... Life is terribly hectic right now and it doesn't look like it will slow down anytime soon.
