I'm baaaaaack, again!

So, it's been awhile since I've written a blog entry. Almost 3 years and my how things have changed. My picky three-year old is now seven ... and still picky. I'm still a full time working mom, but I have three kids now, not two. As such, I've updated my name to 3Bs' mom, because I'm mom to Bug, BooBoo and Basher. And yes Basher (6 months) is dairy intolerant too. BooBoo is now in kindergarten and still called BooBoo. Bug is rarely called Bug, more like Bud and he's in second grade. We're still dairy free here, me again too since I'm nursing Asher. I won't complain, though. As I've always said, it's easy for me to give it up for a year, my kids face that challenge for much longer. My half caf is tasting just fine with a splash of vanilla soy milk. Since my last post Daiya cheese has come into my life and BOY has it made being dairy free so much easier. BooBoo and I enjoy Daiya pizzas regularly, my latest version included sliced green olives and tomatoes (Bug would never dare try some). Yum yum! This week I'm making fajita chicken quesadillas for dinner one night, even the husband will get one since we don't mix milk and meat. This is what I call "cooking" now that I've got two kids in grade school. Eeks! Hope to check in again before the next three years pass.

2010 Goal!

This year, I resolve to become more healthy. So, I've decided, somewhat on the fly, that I will blog about my quest to become healthier. I hope I don't regret this!
Back in October or so, I started the C25K program, where I went from being a couch potato to (almost) running a 5k in 9 weeks. Or I was supposed to ... an injury, a cold and the holidays have delayed me a little, but not stopped me completely. I should be finishing week 6 on Monday. Woo hoo!
The hubby and I are planning on running the Susan G. Komen 5k in May and who knows where we'll go from there. I'd love to do a mini-triathalon sometimes next fall or early next year.
I'd also love to drop a few pounds, but my love for food always seems to get in the way. I also hate dieting, so that doesn't help much. But, I really want to be a good example of healthy eating and lifestyle for my kids. And, I want to be around to see them for a long time. So, we'll see how that all works out.
