DAY 37 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

 
Today is a VERY special day and SO HARD to believe...our sweet Tatum turned SEVENTEEN!!! I have been so very blessed to be a step-mom to she and her sister. When I first met Tatum she was not yet 3 and was just beyond cute with an extremely strong personality! She is an incredibly smart and talented young woman and has so many wonderful things ahead of her! So I want to start by giving a big shout out to her: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Right now the biggest story going on is of course - Tropical storm Erica and where she is going to go. Earlier today, the predicted track of the storm had it moving out into the Atlantic from the east coast of South Florida...however at 5pm it appeared the track had changed to come into our backyard!

Now I'm the first to admit...I am a nervous Nelly when it comes to the idea of being in a possible hurricane! I've had people point out to me that it is "ONLY a Cat 1"...ummm....I'm sorry...but that is the same wind strength as an F1 tornado. Now that is a little tornado, but you know what? If it hit YOU...it won't seem so little! But a tornado only really affects you IF if hit where you are, unlike a Cat 1 that is like an F1 EVERYWHERE and for possible HOURS! haha! OMG! Sooooo....we shall see what happens!

We figured that today we better get in some cycling because beginning tomorrow and forward the likelihood of increasing rain and thunderstorms is there. When not riding I will be doing some indoor exercising instead!

OK...one last thing...CONFESSION TIME!...While my family was here, though I didn't do terrible, I didn't stick to my healthier snacks and meals and also didn't cycling as much. I'm CERTAIN it is going to show on the scale. I can't bring myself to weigh yet, but I will be in the morning and will then just get back on this horse again and keep on going until I reach the fit-n-fabulous place I'm shooting for!
