    I'm doing pretty good until I imagine the sound of his voice as he's saying all that and then the tears just roll down my face!

    How incredibly sweet!!! Made me tear up. Our kids look up to us as leaders not only of the household but how to live their lives. Good for you and hugs to that little boy!!!

    This is from my profile....

    About Me
    Single mom of 3 boys. (20, 19 and 10). I realized that I spent the past 20 years being mom and don't know who I am.

    Why I Want To Get In Shape
    I am tired of being the fat mom. I want to be able to do activities and not be winded at the end.

    I wrote that back in July. Do I know what I am outside of being mom? no. But I am learning right now that is enough.

    We did a family 2mile run/walk the first week of october and when I crossed the finish line he said "I wasn't looking for you until the end. Guess this working out crap is starting to work". He finished well ahead of me at the 5K but came back and ran the last 1/4 mile with me to the finish line then said...."I will go get you a banana". He is planning out our training nights for the Turkey Trot. Guess in a world full of pokemon, xbox, football practices and playing with his friends, he is taking an interest in what mom is doing too! It's cool. Now to get my other two on board!

    Wow this really made me tear up!! For several reasons.
    1 That is awesome that you are making such an impact in your son's life. It's awesome that you guys are using being healthy to build some amazing memories.
    2. My 15, 10, and 7 year old sons just ran a 5K on Sunday. While they were doing that, I was waiting at the finish line. I didn't get to enjoy that with them. I remember standing there thinking, I wish I could do this with them. Reading this just makes me want that even more!
