Day 210 + 211

I'm not really sure what happened with my blog post from yesterday but I was doing really good and I was on a roll with posting daily. I guess yesterday I just escaped me.

I continue with the plan and I did the Rockin' Body workout I was scheduled to do Party Express and Booty Time and I completed them both in 55 minutes. Booty time kicked my butt. I struggled through that. I kept wanting to quit but the fact that his segments are so small it makes it easier to shake it off and try it again.

Today I had so much going on from the moment I woke up that I did not do the Rockin' Body workout it all. In hindsight I wish I had woken up earlier to fit it in, but it is what it is. Instead I did 17 sets of 10 pulsing squats (up my stairs, yes I finally counted them, 17 lol).

Off to bed to go to work tomorrow morning. It'll be interesting if I have enough energy to do this workout tomorrow. We'll see.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 192 + 193

Yesterday i did my fav side lunge with knee ups (3/10) and alternating toe touches (??).

Today i did rotating squats, squat pulses and squats with a knee up (3/10).

Gotta get up early! Busy day ahead!

Day 188 + 189

Gonna make it quick, it's waaay passed my bedtime.

Yesterday i did tricep extensions. Tonight i got onto the elliptical for 10 minutes. Definitely losing motivation and trying to think of what i can do to switch things up.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 186 + 187

Yesterday I did my side lunges that i love so much, and today I did leg abductor.

I lost my beloved exercise videos, slim in 6 AND turbo jam. I'm getting really bored with the elliptical so i need to shake things up a little.

It's late so off to bed.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 184 + 185

Last night I did 5 sets 20 pulsing squats.

Tonight I did 50 kickbacks (idk what they are called). Hope to be back to my normal elliptical routine tomorrow morning. (Work always messes up my exercise routine)

Day 167 + 168

Yesterday i  did 4 sets of 10 leg kickbacks.

Tonight i did 4 sets of 10 side lying leg raises. Tonight was a lot tougher than yesterday's,  let me tell you. Whew! My legs are still shaking!

Anyway, yesterday when I woke up I was still pretty mad about all the crap people give to my son about his hair. I told him that if he was really that upset that we would just go cut it off and be done with it.

We talked for a long time about it. I really just wanted to remind him of what was in his heart and how he first felt when he made the decision to grow his hair out. Miriam, you are totally right,  guys grow their hair or all the time so I don't know why people be trippin'. I reminded him of this too :).

I reminded him that one of the contributing factors to his decision to do this was because he was caring and sensitive to others, and THAT was the exact reason why it hurt his feelings so much... because he's so sensitive. I reminded him that these things would make him stronger and what matters is on the inside, and he is pretty darn amazing.

He was still pretty concerned about his friends at school teasing him and I told him that true friends wouldn't make him purposefully feel bad. I think him realizing these 2 things were the things that helped him the most. He said his friends Aiden and Daniel don't tease him and they are his 2 best friends. When they first met they asked about his hair, and when he told them why he was growing it out, they accepted it and moved on, not mentioning it again. I told him thats what true friends were and you could see his face change, and all his confidence grow back. Now he feels strong again, and I am so glad for this. My sweet boy :).

The place we chose to donate to, requires only a minimum of 8 inches, so he is 3/4 of the way there. He should be finished by the end of the next school year or the beginning of 5th grade and he said he wanted to wait it out. I'm so proud of him, and I can't wait for him to experience the beautiful blessing waiting for him at the end of the rainbow. The whole journey is a blessing, but the final reward will be so exciting for him! It'll be his first blessing from giving (outside from what he can see), and I hope it inspires him in so many more ways to seek to serve instead of being served. Love it!
