GTKY: Is there something special from your childhood that you are looking forward to sharing with your future child? My love of bright, beautiful summer days spent outdoors on my family's farm. I grew up barefoot with sun-bleached pig tails and a million freckles on my face.

What I did this week: Apparently, I lost 4 lbs between last Wed and today.

I wanted to eliminate caffeine entirely, but I had 2 cups of coffee over the past week. But it's better than my normal 2-3 per day, so I have to cut myself some slack.

What I have planned for next week: Doing at least 1 yoga class. Baby steps, I'm still healing physically & emotionally from the m/c.

What I would like to do/my goal: I would like to lose at least 10 more lbs, and I would like to remove as much processed food from my diet as possible. And do more yoga.

Recipes/Tips to share: Nothing today.

I would love for them to take Irish dance lessons.  And I hope that they will try every sport possible and enjoy playing.

I totally need some accountability so I thought I'd start posting in here.

What I did this week: Nothing, which is the problem. We're finally settled in our new place, so I need to get busy and scout out new running routes.

What I have planned for next week: Run! At least once. Start crosstraining again as well.

What I would like to do/my goal: My goal for this year is to run a 10k. There's a local one in March but I don't think I'll be able to make it. Luckily, the next town over has a super active running club, so they'll be plenty of opportunities through out the year.

Recipes/Tips to share: Not really. I've been focusing on home cooked meals period, and some of them, not so healthy.

GTKY: Is there something special from your childhood that you are looking forward to sharing with your future child?

Probably the books I read as a kid. Encyclopedia Brown, the Hardy Boys, Boxcar children, books that I think I could still read even as an adult.
