If you can measure it, you can manage it. 

I often think of this business mantra each day as I step on the scale, track my calories and log every minute and mile of physical activity as I pursue a healthier lifestyle. (And apologies to my Facebook friends who are tiring of my new found apps and the postings to cheer me on!)

Just this morning I was enjoying my favorite aspect of walking to school with my boys – the occasional grabbing of my hand by my 1^st grader.  I was soaking it up, I know these moments are fleeting as I watch my 3^rd grader walking up ahead at his own pace, in his own thoughts.
