Feels like we have already hit the end of the month slow and it is just the beginning of the second week. Yikes!
Yesterday I had intended on working out to a DVD. Got big kids down for nap/quiet time. Nursed baby. Put on my shoes. Pulled out a Walk Away the Pounds DVD. Waited an eternity for Hot Honey's Blue Ray player to load. (If you have one, you know what I mean. personally I don't care if the picture is better. It takes a year to start! In my world, I need things fast. Too many distractions.) Finally starts, but I can't get the stink'n picture to come on. I can hear it, but I want to see it! Where is my picture!!! Hot Honey has a fancy remote, which most of the time I love--just not yesterday. I press the help button. TV shuts off. NOOOOO! That isn't helpful, I shout. Try again. press help button. Stereo shuts off. NOOOO! Stop it you stink'n remote! Mouth pressed together. Eyes burning with angry frustration. Be calm, try something else. Press more buttons. Restart Blueray. Did I mention how long it takes to load? This now feels like the longest 20 min ever. Baby cries. He doesn't want to play on floor anymore. Or maybe he feels my frustration! I think the whole block could. I pick up baby and give up. Decide to watch Jon and Kate plus 8. For a moment I thought about walking while watching, but decided on sitting instead.
Then baby went to sleep. I put him in his bed. 10min later my 3yr old says, "Hi mommy." So much for a break for me!!! I did keep my shoes on until 11:30 last night thinking I would squeeze in some exercise. Didn't happen. Although, I did squeeze in a 20 min nap, shoes and all, while the kids played Wii.
The good news is today is another day. And in a couple hours I will head to the Y.
Hopefully, you all are getting in your workouts this week. Hard to believe we are already on day 3 this week.

Monday was a day off - last minute decision to go to the rodeo.
ReplyDeleteTuesday I got up early to take a class at the gym that people have been raving about - and realized I left my keys in the locked car last night. AAA arrived in 20min, but still too late to catch the class, so I went to my 20 min core class later. Doesn't it sometimes it feels like everything is working against you?
Today I took the crazy FIT class again, and I think the instructor toned it down a bit but I was still wiped about halfway through.
Let's go girls and finish the week off strong!
I did my 30 minutes on weights yesterday at the gym. Today it's cold and rainy and I don't want to do anything!
ReplyDeleteYesterday was a day off for me, woke up feeling like I could sleep another day. Didn't feel good all day so I took it off. Felt better this morning, so I did get my workout in. 20 minutes on the treadmill, lower body weights and 10 minutes on the bicycle.
ReplyDeleteI also walked with mall with the baby, trying to find a new wedding band for my husband. It is our 10 year anniversary on Friday. Why a new wedding band you ask? Well, he's already had 3 of them. The original he took off to eat ribs at Chili's and left it there. The second one fell off while he was hanging Christmas lights one year. Needless to say, by this point, I am convinced he can't keep up with one, so I bought him a $30 silver one from James Avery. He has kept up with that one for 5 years now, but since it is silver and he works with his hands it is extremely bunged up. So I found a tungsten carbide one for our anniversary. FYI...tungsten carbide is such a hard metal that it resists scratches and can only be engraved by a laser. It also can never be cut off his hand if need be. Maybe this one is a keeper:)
It is nice to know that it wasn't only me having the challenging Tuesday. Good to hear from some of you.
ReplyDeleteI did the Y today with Hot Stuff. She usually beats me there so I ran back to grab my earphones. I only needed them for 4 min, then I enjoyed some good conversation. So nice to talk to another adult and get my workout in at the same time. Thanks Hot Stuff.
I did weights and crunches for 30 min while I watched TV and avoided the cold and rain outside.
