She also keeps me moving all day! My challenge this summer will be to keep up with good eating and learning to balance that with some fun :) The last few weeks have kinda screwed up my system so I'm going back to no-sweets (except of course my weekend coffee) for awhile to see if I can get back down to goal weight. I'll keep you posted on that.
I have however completed my first competitive 5K race and got 10th in my age group! I also ran 8.21 miles last week, another first! Just trying to keep making goals and then smashing them.
Another goal this summer to help my mom find her own workout routine that is satisfying and effective without taking too much time and leaving her so sore the next day she can't do anything. We're starting it off nice and slow just like I did :)
This weeks dish is Thai Chicken Curry, I made it up in a crockpot and then served it over rice. A total of 8 points with a 1/2 cup of rice. Very delicious and satisfying! Here's the recipe:

Something I'd like to hear from you all about is if you have any experience with exercising post tailbone injury? I did something to mine because for the past few months I can't sit very long without it hurting really bad. I'm trying to not put direct pressure on it but it's hard to do ab exercises without that... So let me know!
Hope you all are doing well in your journeys to My Kind of Healthy! I shall try to post more often as the summer gets underway :)
