Ash Wednesday & Lent

So today is Ash Wednesday. This year I have decided that instead of giving up something for Lent, I will add something to my routine. I am going to try to excercise 30 minutes everyday. I know that doesn't sound like much, but I haven't been moving around alot lately and my metabolism has taken a hit. Normally I like my weight to be between 140 and 145, but I have been having trouble getting it to stay below 150. In the past, my weight has gone over 200 pounds and I don't want to go there again.

I haven't done much in the last couple of days as I wasn't feeling well. I managed to take D to the salon to get her first set of highlights done. It looks amazing! I wish my hair looked like hers :)

Today, I'm hoping to take the girls to Michael's to get some craft supplies. D has been using broken earrings to make new earrings so I would like to go and buy her some proper parts. B simply wants to get some craft sticks to build a raft :) Unfortunately, B still isn't feeling well. She had a rough night last night and said her tummy is still hurting. At the moment, she's eating some toast with butter. Here's hoping that makes her feel better.

Update:
Operation Michael's was a success. D picked up a jewellry making starter kit and some additional supplies and B picked up a new crochet hook, some craft sticks and a package of coloring pages. Thanks to coupons, we saved lots of money :)

Still haven't done my 30 min yet today.
