Some of you can relate to this story I am sure.....
I have been sick with a sinus infection the past 5 days and have not worked out since Thursday! uuugghhhh! Slept my Mother's Day weekend away trying to recover. x( Finally went to the Doc today to get some meds.
Decided to do my UB workout this afternoon while my 3 year old was awake. Thought, oh no big deal... he'll just watch cartoons.
So, I turn on the cartoons, set up my step, my wts etc. Doing my own flavor of PUB the BFL style but without Cathe due to the rugrat hoggin' the tv.
It is only a matter of minutes before I have a 3 year old at my feet... "mommy, wanna play..." "mommy, can I sit on your lap...." "mommy, this cartoon is scary, I need LUVS". Good thing I am in such a good mood. Probably b/c I am just happy to be working out after 3 days off! :+
So he dumps his backpack full of plastic fish and lions at my feet... "let's play ocean mommy". "How cute" I am thinking! "He is just so cute!"
So, in between sets, I am holding my 3 year old, giving him attention while the Pug dog "Rocky" is jumping on my step and while trying to make sure none of the weights land on either the dog, the kid or my foot. Crazy!
The even crazier thing is that somehow I managed to get a killer workout, didn't drop a weight on anyone's head and had a happy 3 year old to boot! Funny how kids teach ya' to juggle and smile at the same time! I guess that is why they are God's greatest blessing
p.s. I am going to be sore tomorrow!
