Day 2 *fart noise*

So today is day 2, and I have to say it was not that bad, even with having to work.

I got home from work and Hubby and Monkey Boy were both ready and willing to let Mama have the TV for exercise. Of course this didn't mean that they weren't going to be entertained by my exercising. I decided to do the Wii Fit today, because I thought today was a rest day on EA Active Sports, so I threw on the Wii Fit and started off w/ the body test (my Wii Fit age was 32--same as my real age), and did some strength training. I did:

Rowing Squats, 10 (100%) and then 30 (100%) and
Torso Twists, 3 (94%) then 6 (92%).

This is where the boys got their entertainment. They both thought it was totally necessary and EXTREMELY funny to make fart noises as mommy did the rowing squats. Wow. I sure do fart a lot (I think hubby was more into it than The Monkey Boy!). :)

Then I did some of the games:

Obstacle Course, Beginner--453 yards
Bird's-eye bull's-eye--184 points
soccer heading--65 points and
3 rounds of penguin slide (I think it was 3. it was either 2 or 3--mommy brain).

In all I did 21 minutes. Not a lot, but not bad considering I have been at work since 6am and didn't get home until close to 7pm.

I headed over to EA Active Sports to log in my journal (side note: I made a short term goal to follow through exactly with what EA Sports has planned for the 30 day challenge--I have yet to complete it, the way it wants me to so here goes nothing!) and saw that today was NOT a rest day like my hubby insisted. I plan to do it (fingers crossed) after the Monkey Boy gets tired of the Wii Fit. I just hope it's not too late. If I don't get to it, I'll just reset it again so I can do a pefect 30 days lol (can you guess how many times I've reset it? lol).

I feel pretty good today. Not nearly as sick as I was, so the antibiotics are definitely helping. I'm not as sore as I though I would be either. Just a little ache, but nothing that screams at me. I am proud of myself for not lagging after I got home from work. Yaay me!

Have to work again tomorrow, but I'll be back.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength! (Phil 4:13)

Day 349 (day 6 / week 49)

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

It was my day off and I walked for 30 minutes and did the Wii Fit for 20, focusing on the strength training they have on there. My feet were so sore when I woke up in the morning.

In the evening we went and got The Monkey Boys picture taken with Santa (waited in line for like an hour).

He looks so cute, although it's a total fake smile--the camera lady didn't seem like she understood children and lost like every child's "moment" that was in line before us (very slow).


I don't ever remember Santa ever looking this real (he always had a fake beard when I was little). We've been lucky to get real Santa pictures with our son since we started taking him :).

I can do this. I am a star.

Day 342 (day 6 / week 48)

Wednesday, December 9, 2009

I looove me some days off, especially after a doozy the day before (who talks like that?? oh ya, me!). My inner voice lately has been redneckaliscious. I don't know what stemmed it, but I crack myself up. I really do. I'm High-larious.

Anyway I slept in b/c the Monkey Boy spent the night at Nana and Papa's house and I got A LOT accomplished. I did like 2-3 days worth of cleaning in 2 hours, split up into about an hour each time. Between that I did about 20 minutes on the Wii Fit focusing on strength training and my arms, and boy they are sore today! This just proves to myself that I don't really need weights to do strength training. I just really want them.

I also wrapped Christmas presents for over an hour on the pool table (that thing came in handy for something!). I assembled my son's mini drum set that we got him for Christmas and wrapped that. My hubby came home to me doing it and he said, "boy honey, getting creative w/ the wrapping?" I wrapped the tom-tom, snare and the cymbal all separately, attached to the set lol, and then wrapped the whole thing letting the wrapped cymbal stick out. I am going to have to video tape this Christmas, because it's the first one that The Monkey Boy has any sense of what's going on with and he REALLY loves drums. He wanted a Cars backpack too, and he is going to be SOO excited to see one. Christmas will be fun with him, but I can't wait until I can teach him about Jesus. I wish he could grasp who Jesus is. I don't even know if he understands what I say most of the time, so I don't know if he understands when I talk to him about God. I can't wait to tell him about his best friend and know that he gets it.

Anyway, that's it! I'm still sick but getting better. Yaay! Off to exercise for today :).

I can do this. I am a star.

Day 328 (day 6 / week 46)

Today was a sad/angry day for me. I don't talk about much of the drama because it's boring. I may touch on it but I don't think I ever led on to how bad it is. My hubby hates my dog Pebbles. He hates her so much that we fight about her. Everyday. I got her into training, but he still isn't happy. He doesn't have the patience to wait for the potential I see in her. I had to give her back :(. She deserves better. She's a good dog.

I have been bawling all day, and when I haven't been, I have been on the verge of tears. I am so angry at the same time that my head hurts. My son knows she isn't around, but he keeps calling for her like she is going to come running. She won't :(.

I did some heavy cleaning, gathering her things, to give to Friends For Life (the people adopted her from and have an agreement with, that if we ever can't keep her anymore we would give her back to them so they could guarantee her a good home) and packed it all up in the car along with Pebbles and The Monkey boy. I drove 40+ miles to Pahrump (where it's colder), and said my good byes (the boy was sleeping so he didn't get to, which is probably a good thing...he loved her so much--at night before bed he always says, "i love you mama, i love you dada, i love you pebbles."). They told me she would be in an outside kennel with the rest of the dog until she is adopted, which breaks my heart (she is an inside dog). They didn't even put her blanket down for her to lay on (the concrete is so cold).

I have no right to be upset. It's my fault. I should have known better with my hubby. He is just like that and will never change. I told him that we will never again get another pet, although I grew up with them all around me and love them so much, but I just wont do this again. It's not fair, and he doesn't even care. Besides, to give her up like that, makes me feel like we don't deserve another pet. Ever. I just pray that she goes to a better home. Not like this one. I miss her and see traces of her everywhere. :(

*waah* *waah* *waah*

I did only 20 mins on the Wii Fit and walked a mile. I am just not in the mood.

I forgot about the 30DS. Oh well. 30 days will still be done. Just not in a row.

I can do this. I am a star.
