Day 336 (day 7 / week 47)

Thursday, December 3, 2009

I woke up this morning to a sick monkey boy. It's my fault too. The walk we went on the previous day wasn't a good idea and I guess I wasn't thinking he would get sick from it. We live in Vegas and it can get cold here. Not like snow cold, but it's dry and gets windy. When we went walking it was no more than 50F and it was windy that day. Anyway, he is sick.

When I wasn't comforting him, I was cleaning. I actually tackled my "room of doom." It's the Billiard Room which is really our storage room. It was a total mess. There was not a whole lot of walking room due to the boxes, and the table billiard table had stuff on it. Now it's beautiful. It was an all day effort because The Boy was sick, but I think it was about 2 hours of solid work. Man he was cranky/needy all day.

I did 3-5 minutes on the Wii Fit also (right before bed).

That's it I guess.

I can do this. I am a star.

Day 303 (day 2 / week 43)

Today I got on the Wii Fit again (man I love that thing!) and went for 87 Wii Minutes. My arms are sore today from some of the yoga things and strength moves they had me do yesterday.

I wish I could take a picture and show you all of the stuff I am doing. I like the yoga on the Wii balance board, because it really shows me how to do the position correctly, with the correct posture and correct balance. It's different than just doing it along to a video like Slim in 6. I always heard people say yoga was hard, but I never thought that was true...until now. It's hard to relax and keep your balance perfect while holding the tree pose, or half moon.

I decided (just now) that I am going to take a picture of my favorites, and share one with you everyday (on my day's off). Since I finished my workout today, I will start tomorrow.

It's getting cold here in Vegas. When I say cold, I don't mean like Colorado cold, or East Coast cold...I mean for Vegas it's cold. It's been in the 60s. It's also a dry cold and windy (for Vegas). My skin hurts. Isn't it funny how during the summer, keeping the house at a certain temp is nice, but when the weather changes outside (for the colder), that same temperature in the house just feels cold too?

The monkey boy is all of a sudden attempting the potty, so I gotta go!

Make today count! It's almost the end of the year. Get a start on 2010!

I can do this. I am a star.

Day 20 (day 6 / week 3)

I really didn't want to exercise today.

I wanted to earlier this morning, which is why I woke up early for it, but realized that I couldn't finish my entire workout if I did. I have to hear Debbie say, "See you tomorrow!" or I wont come back (lol) and I didn't want to punk out on my workout. I know would come up with excuses not to come back and finish the workout and end up saying something like, "well at least I did something today." I didn't want that. I want to make every bit of my exercise count.

My son had his 2 year wellness check this morning at 9 am, and I needed to make sure I got him up, got his snuggle time in (or he's a little punk for the rest of the day), feed him breakfast and get us both ready which means I needed to get him up around 7-715 at the latest. I woke up at 6am, would have started exercising at roughly 6:30, which puts me at finishing the workout at around 7:15. I would then need to take a shower and get ready, and wouldn't be able to wake him up until probably close to 7:45-8am. There is no way we could have made the dr's appointment on time if I did that--so I just didn't exercise at all this morning, but it really messed with my energy/willpower.

Logan got shots today, so it was also a very draining day. He cried from the moment we walked into the exam room until we left. very. draining. day. After we got home at 10:30am, I took him for a long walk (an hour) which could be considered exercise, but I don't, just cause I felt rather relaxed and exercise doesn't make me feel that way. Then put him down for a nap and thought about exercise. I watched the parade laying down on the couch (thinking about exercise), covered in a blanket (thinking about exercise) and FREEZING (thinking I really didn't want to exercise lol)! That made me drowsy (being on the couch does that to me anyway) and then I REALLY didn't want to exercise.

I got up to check some of our ebay auctions (to fund our move), then my email, and I saw some comments on my blog, which really motivated me to exercise!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I did "Ramp It Up!" again, and had so much energy doing it! It warmed me up, and now I feel great :). I increased the tension on the resistance band part of the workout, and my arms feel like jello. I have 3 more days on this phase, so I have to make it count!

I really wanted to thank you guys for motivating me to get my butt up and exercise! I really needed it today :).

Thank you again, and I hope you guys have a great workout yourselves!

Smiles and blessings!

I can do this. I am a star (thanks to you guys!)
