I’m sure we’re going to be seeing tons of kids and family members during this challenge — and I couldn’t help but do the same. Mackenzie is my light and joy — definitely my love. And the last few days she’s had a cold which has made her mopey, whiny, loving and ultra cute all at the same time.

And I tried to get a photo of the second love of my life, my wonderful husband, Stefan, but he’s a bit camera shy and sometimes pulls the Chandler face from friends, plus it was with Mack on his shoulders and lets just say it came out all blurry. So you get another pic of Mack helping me make chili, another love in my life (along with most other foods.) 😉

And although this is not something I love at this moment, I am going to have to learn to love it, or at the very least enjoy it — running. Stefan and I are going to be training over the next year for the Berlin Marathon. Since I’ve never run a day in my life, aside when I was forced to in school, it could get interesting. But I actually do want to do this, despite the pained expressions you always find on runners’ faces. And I think it’s going to massively help us get into better shape, which was one of our big goals when we decided to move to Berlin. We’re going to be trying to keep our run reports, upcoming events and so forth over on our Ultimate Beach Body site, and you can read my new post about our journey to a marathon already!
