I am at post # 501 with this post right here! Wow!!!! That's alot of posts! I've had this blog now for 2 years I think? I have so many blogs it's hard to remember. I'm actually going to downscale so that I only have 3 blogs instead of 5. It's just too much work and half the stuff I write in one I could also write in another if that makes sense.

The other day I was thinking about how much stuff I've actually blogged about the past few years! I've blogged about my family, friends, services, websites, reviews, appliances, real estate, neighbors, vacations and even a business list broker. So many topics! Blogging is fun though! Not only is it like a diary for yourself, but it's also a way to keep friends and family members informed of what's going on in your life. When you're a mother of 3 very active kids, it's not always easy to keep up with friends and family via phone or even email. So blogging helps alot!

So, I started working on my 1st health challenge this morning by going for a nice walk. My next challenge is to start drinking loads of water everyday! And to have it drank by 6pm so I'm not up all night having to go to the bathroom. So far today I've only drank 16.9 ounces. Not too good considering it's already 12:25pm. I know what I need to do - wake up in the morning and just fill up my water bottle and start drinking. Maybe if I keep the water bottle next to the coffee maker in the kitchen that will remind me? So that when I'm making the kids lunches every morning I see it and will fill it up and start drinking.(?) Alright, I'll try that tomorrow morning and see how it works!

A few weeks back was the NFL Football draft right? Did anyone happen to sit their and watch the entire thing? My brother used to - not sure if he still does. He'd make sure he was all set beforehand, have a pen and paper to keep track and would literally sit there and watch the whole thing!!!! Me? No, I didn't watch one minute of it. I love football, but not that much. I figure once it's done I can go to the computer and see who my favorite team just got. It's funny because when it comes to making our football picks for the football pool we're always both in, we go about that differently too. He reads the stats, sees who is hurt, etc. and goes from there. I just go down the line and go by the spread and if I think they can do it or not. It usually takes me about 2 minutes to do my picks. I'm sure it takes my brother longer.

I did it! I got the kids on the bus, went up to our local park and walked for an hour! How far I walked I'm not 100% sure because there's no signs on the trail stating how long the trail actually is, but, I'm guessing since I usually walk about an 18 minute mile that I walked about 3 something miles! I then came home and did my 5 Minute Abs DVD and am now feeling awesome! Keeping up the habit is going to be the hard part. I'm starting slowly and every Monday and Friday I'll walk. Tuesday and Thursday I'll do aerobics or Yourself Fitness. I figure if I start out slow I won't set myself up for failure.

Ew, I hope not! Friends of ours recently went away for spring break and weren't too happy with where they stayed because there were bed bugs in their beds. They were so grossed out they left that hotel after the first night of staying there and had to go like 15 miles away to find somewhere else to stay - everywhere else was booked. Obviously that first hotel didn't have any bed bugs control because the friends they were vacationing with had the same experience in their room as well. I'm definitely making it a point to NEVER go near that hotel! I know some people who actually bring their own sheets and comforters to hotels just for this reason. It might not be a bad idea after hearing about this horror story!

Great! Now I'm all itchy just thinking about bed bugs!

Have you seen or heard about this new game for Wii? It's called Wii Fit and it looks awesome! You can do aerobics with it, Yoga, muscle stretching or even games. It's got something on it for the whole family. You can even learn some dance moves it looks like. I already have Yourself Fitness for the PlayStation (which I LOVE) but we might have to go and get this too considering everyone in the family can benefit from it. It comes with the Balance Board. If anyone out there already has it (not sure when it's available to buy) let me know how you like it.
