Hi everyone.  I'm Amanda Kennedy and haven't introduced myself yet.  I'm the busy mom of 4 young kids aged 6, almost 5, almost 3 and 14 months.  We live in Irving, TX a little over a year ago from Alberta, Canada.  When I'm not cooking, cleaning, changing diapers, entertaining little people and  driving us from activity to activity I'm foolishly attempting to home school my two oldest boys.  Life is very busy right now and doesn't leave many obvious time slots for exercise.  I love this challenge because it has motivated me in a way that I have never been able to motivate myself.  The water challenge is fantastic!  I really noticed a difference after a few days.  A difference in what, you wonder?  My feet!!!  They used to be dry and yucky and aren't anymore.  Yay!  Anyways, my weaknesses are not getting enough sleep (my personal goal is to get up at 6:30 everyday so I can get a head start on my day and hopefully be more likely to go to bed at a decent time) and hating exercise.  I very much want to be the person who gets up early and runs or unwinds with a workout video, but I'm not.  I run all day after my kids and in my spare (ha) time I don't want to do anything productive.  Anyways, this challenge has done wonders for my motivation and I'm thrilled to be a part of it!
