Yipee! Fall is Here!

Cold and windy. I love it.

Zoe is sick. She woke up with a low grade fever and sore throat/ear ache. We are headed over to the docs this afternoon to get her checked out. Cold/flu season always kind of freaks me out.

I feel pretty well, but am kind of achy - like I have the flu. Mom thinks that the 4 hour drive to Houston and then home again is just really tough on anyone. I'm supposed to head back there next week for a checkup, but I just need to postpone it a week or two. Too much going on.

The Houston walk was more of a crawl, but I was so proud to be there and walk with my sisters and some really great friends. Zoe walked with her two little girl cousins and they were cheering the whole way. "Gimme a Z. Gimme an O. Gimme an E. What's that spell?" They were also spelling out CURE. And then they threw in DOG, TACO and COOKIE.

It was cool to see so many people show up, but the walk route was kind of urban jungle and the congestion was obvious. When we walk in San Antonio, it is really moving because you can see everyone the whole time. The Houston walk walked around the block and on a sidewalk. We actually walked past a few bus stops.

I'm looking forward to the walk this weekend. They walk in the Sunken Gardens and through Brackenridge Park. It's really pretty. We've really worked hard on the San Antonio team and are now over our $3,002 goal. Team Zoe San Antonio is now at $3,257. That is pretty amazing. The power of the internets is ginourmous.

For those interested in the Body for Life Challenge, I think the first step is to buy the Book, Body for Life or Body for Life for Women. I am going to be digging mine out again because I have totally fallen off the wagon. I feel like my body is craving more protein.

Ok. Stuff to do.

I can do this. I harness the power of the Z-O-E!!

Your assignment today is to think of one goal you'd like to achieve. It doesn't have to be New Years to accomplish a resolution. Even if it is something simple, just write it down and finish it. Start small. Don't say you want to lose 75 lbs. Just go for 5 or 10. Or just working on eating better this week. Get your veggies in. Try new recipes. Lately it seems as if so many people have just lost hope. Well seeing the little girls cheering and saying the word CURE made me realize that there is hope. That it is important to carry on in the face of adversity. I am reminding myself of that today.
