Motivational...Thursday?

I received a text from my sister-in-law, Jenny this morning asking where my Motivational Monday post was.  OOPS.  My reply to her:  I FORGOT.  It's like my brain had a little blog block and I forgot to update in a week!  So, to all 3 or 4 of my loyal readers, I'm sorry. ;-)  Just trying to keep you on your toes!!  

So, here is your Motivational Thursday!  {Not quite the same ring to it!}

Jenny sent me this last week.  She thought it would be good for one of my posts.  I loved it!  If you are on IG, I encourage you to follow shawnjohnson.  She offers some great fitness tips and encouragement!

We've kicked off our summer trying to be more active.  My mom and I are trying to walk together at least 3 days a week.  We took the kids over to the newly renovated walking bridge and it was fabulous!  Such a great place to walk!  The kids loved it and didn't really realize they were exercising, too!  

Now, it's kind of become a family thing!  The more, the merrier!  This week, we took all 6 grandkids, my brother, and Eric.  The walk over and back is about 2 miles and the kids did great.

I'm sure we are hilarious and look like a bunch of tourists -- snapping pictures and stopping every 20 seconds to see boats and barges underneath us or semi trucks on one of the other bridges.  But, hey, we have fun!

I saw the following on Pinterest tonight.  It is very "me".  Time for less excuses and more getting off my butt.  {My mother will die because I typed "butt" on one of my posts!}

And, yes, I'm making those small daily improvements.  Hopefully, not in the too far off future, I will see the staggering long-term results!  Can't wait...

Thanks to all of you who keep encouraging me on my journey!  The best is yet to come!!
