3.2 miles outside

-
Jim and I went for a jog outside today... It was 43 with snow melting everywhere.  He paced off me.  We walked up the hill, then started jogging.  Jogged for a solid mile, then I walked for 1 tenth of a mile and started jogging again.  We looped around in the neighborhood which includes some small hills twice.  I was still feeling good after mile #2 so I decided not to drop it down to a walk.  I jogged solid till 3.1 miles :)  then walked back down to my house came in and stretched.

3.3 miles total in 40 min.  So average of a 12.3 min mile.  Feel exhilerated.  Longest I have EVER gone... :)
Now off to shower and get dressed.  Lots of studying to do today...

Finding My Voice.... and my story

Who are you?  For those of you who saw the video of me speaking last weekend, this is going to be a bit of a repeat. Yes, I did it, I actually stood up in front of a crowd and spoke. My good friends will know how rare that is for me, because I have a fear of public speaking :)  A friend of ours, named Kristin has a great foundation to support military wives. To see what she's all about check out her website  Northwest Military Wives Last weekend, they had a foundraiser to raise money for a retreat for military wives. They decided to honor me at the event and she asked me to speak.  Now, when she first invited me to speak I thought, no big deal I can talk about  Jimmy's Walk . I thought his cross-country walk to raise awareness for Veterans Mental Health issues was why she asked me to speak. I thought,sure I can talk about him. I hate speaking, but I love my husband and I do support what he is passionate about.  She said.... no Heather, we w...

Give yourself a break........ There is no such thing as SuperMom or SuperDad!

I know I don't post that often, life as we all know keeps me insanely busy.... Today though, today I feel the need to share something. Not because it's earth shattering but because maybe someone needs to hear it. People often call me supermom or superwoman. I juggle quite a bit in my life and on the surface I appear to have it all together. Unfortunately, i think some of my friends even think that if they are struggling with what they have on their plates they aren't measuring up because I have more going on and I can do it..... Let me clarify for you my friends.  YOU AREN"T ALONE! There isn't a parent out there who doesn't get overwhelmed at times. There isn't a working parent who doesn't feel like the house could be cleaner, there isn't a parent in the world who doesn't think that they are screwing up their kids sometimes, we all think that we should be doing something better.... Remember you tell your kids, if this is your best it's goo...

Homemade Chicken Patties and Squash Fries

First of all... Let me say I apologize for the lack of pics in this weeks blog posts.  My camera is in Nebraska with my oldest so I have no photos of the food I'm cooking this week.  Last night for dinner I tried a recipe I copied from the internet ages ago to try (no clue now what website or I would give credit).  Homemade Chicken Patties..  My girls love chicken patties but I wanted to give them something a little healthier than the processed meat things at the store.  For a side I made the Hungry Girl's Squash Fries.  Both girls were thrilled and so was I, fast food at home :) Homemade Chicken Patties  1/4 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup chopped celery 6 tablespoons butter (divided in half) 3 tablespoons flour 1 1/3 cup milk (divided) 2 tablespoons parsley 1 tablespoon seasoning salt 2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken (planned leftovers from another day maybe) 1 cup fiber one crumbs (great breading and adds lots of fiber) or bread crumbs ...
