Hydration nation

I don't have time to write up a whole post today, but had to put up my latest & greatest hydration find.  I know water is pretty much life blood and I do drink it, but it is always so much tastier (and vitamin & electrolite packed) when I unload a little packet of Emergen-C into it.  Last night, I stopped at Whole Foods after work and discovered the newest flavor.  Blue.  As in Blue-berry.  I am in hydration heaven.  Blueberries are my absolute favorite (I eat flats and flats of them in the summer!) and this new Emergen-C tastes just like Blueberry juice.  If you ever had the Knudsen Family "Just Blueberry" juice, you will know exactly what I am talking about!  I know - delicious!  Can't wait to drink my eight glasses today!

I love Madge, but her veins scare me.

My husband and I are in the middle of week 2 and I am already up to 16 push ups.  Can you believe it! I'm not going to lie - it doesn't feel good while you are doing it, but it takes no time at all!  Seriously, it is only like a 1/2 hour a week and is totally worth it!   

Also, I just saw the greatest motivational tip over at over at Mucho Mucho Bueno Beuno!  Put your swimsuit on once a month in winter months to keep yourself "inspired".  Scary, but great idea!
