Day 6

Yep, skipped a few days again.  What is up with these children and my husband taking up my time?  Oh well.  I figured a family day at King's Island, watching my kids play soccer and working a booth at our church's Fall Festival were better ways to spend my time over the weekend.

Also, my Kenpo dvd decided to stop working (again) in my dvd player.  I was so not motivated to try working out to my computer.

Well, I finally gave in today and did it.  I have always enjoyed Kenpo, but I did feel a little sore in my joints since it has been so long since I have done it.  It was good to sweat and move around for an hour since the rest of my day was driving back and forth to school and doing laundry.

Day 5

Skipped a few days again, due to life.  Ended up watching some extra kids for friends who had sick sitters so my life became slightly chaotic.  I thought I was outnumbered by my own three children, but add on three more and...um, I forget what I was saying because my brain has still not recovered.

Anyway, was able to do Legs and Back today.  It was not too bad, except for the wall squats.  The first ones are bearable.  The second ones, where you only squat on one leg, are pretty terrible.  I have a feeling that I will be feeling those for awhile.

Day 4

Yep, missed a few days.  That would be because of a certain one-year old having a temperature of 104.1 this past weekend and not wanting to leave my arms.

I guess I could have tried to do Yoga with him in my arms.  That would have been interesting.

Thankfully, it was just a bad combination of reaction to shots and an ear infection and he is much better now.

Since this was my one day this week where I did not have to leave the house all morning, I did Yoga while I could.  At first I thought I might just do part of it since it has been awhile.  But, the more I got into it, the more I just kept on going.  As long as I did not look at the clock and watch time slowly drag by, I was okay.

The only part that I slightly skipped was the whole Warrier Three combo fiasco.  I lost my balance and figured I would just wait it out, forgetting that it just keeps going into other moves. 

Oh well.  Missing a few minutes out of 90 minutes of Yoga-I think I will survive.

Day 3 Kind Of

I have given up all hope on ever working out on a Wednesday. 

Because I take the kids to school and pick up from preschool, that is usually my running errand day.  So, I lose the morning nap time where I can usually work-out.

Oh well.  Moving on.  Did Shoulder and Arms today.  I stuck with some low weights since it has been awhile, but I did all of the reps that I had aimed for.  Next time I will be using a little more weight for some of the reps.

As Tony says, "The shoulders are your glamour muscles!" 

Sure.  Okay.  They look really glamourous carrying around a one-year old.

So Far So Good

Wow, made it another day without an excuse. 

Did Cardio today.  Actually had a little technical problem with the dvd player freezing up (the remote ran out of charge and would not work even when I plugged it back in), so I never got to finish the Core part of the work-out with them.  However, I have done it enough that I just did my own thing and I think I did all of it.

It was actually kind of nice to finish it without watching the physically fit people do it better.

Seriously

I just threw a huge birthday party for all three of my children, baked all of the cupcakes (and cookies for those who expected my chocolate chip cookies), made the food, took pictures, made more cookies for soccer practice friends, made more cookies for class parties, and made special dinners for each birthday.  I also made special trips to the school for the parties and for surprise lunches.

That is equal to running a marathon, right?

So, birthdays now finally behind me (except for the one-year old, whose birthday is today, but thankfully he is clueless about any special expectations), I am ready to start again.

Started with good ole' Core today.  It slightly kicked my butt, especially with Abby home sick today, watching my every move.  But, it felt great.

After all, I had to taste test all of those cookies so I really need to make up for it.
