Today was grocery day so I did not get to work out in the morning. By the time I got home with all of the goods and a crabby baby, made lunch for Caleb who came home from school around the same time, and got some housework done, I had a feeling that I just might skip the work out today.
Then I got to thinking that if I skipped one day, that I most likely would skip another day. I cannot allow excuses to build up and make all of the work I have already done worthless.
So, with both boys awake and Abby on her way home from school, I began the Legs and Back routine. Honestly, after Yoga, this one was not so bad. Of course, if I actually did real pull-ups and chin-ups on the bar like I was supposed to, I might be singing a different tune. My goodness-I have not done those since high school and that was many pounds ago. I did my best and worked really hard on all of the other tasks.
Out of all of the things they had me do, would you believe the one I am going to feel tomorrow is when I had to stand on my toes and keep flexing my feet? So simple, yet so effective. Goes to show you that you do not need a gym to get a great work-out.
I barely got done in time to take Abby to dance practice (my apologies to any parents who stood next to me in that tiny hallway-I probably could have smelled better), so I had to skip the additional Ab Ripper. I planned on doing it when I got home and got the kids to bed, but that was such a laughable idea. My tired butt immediately hit the couch and I relaxed to my recorded Thursday night shows, waiting for Nick to come home.
This tired mom does not feel one bit guilty.
