For Eldon's birthday I gave him an intangible gift of self. I promised him I would not eat sugar or go a day without exercising for an entire year ... so until his 25th birthday. It was meant to be a gift of a healthy, and hopefully more beautiful wife. I so want to be thin and delicate for him.
Anyway, I'm going to keep a weekly log on here. So every Monday I will weigh in, and every first Monday of the month I will take a picture of myself in the same outfit. Another hope is that I can get super healthy so when we have another baby -- hopefully soon -- I'll be more prepared for her.
Health is so important. I want our children to grow up with strong testimonies of the sanctity of their little bodies and good, healthy habits. It's a legacy I want desperately to pass on. I want family activities to include outdoor sports with fruits and vegetables for snacks. So a year of detox will be great for me, I think. I could tell it meant a lot to Eldon that I would do this. It was his favorite gift.
