Hi everyone. I checking in - a moment to myself. The kids and their dad are out at the hardware store to pick up some more wood so they can work on their treehouse.
This means some time to myself. I was supposed to work out right now, but decided to check in and then I'll see what kind of time I have left. And if not, I will start tomorrow as a new day (and month!). Does that sound noncommital our what?!
Shelly- Enjoy your motorcycle ride and enjoy your run tomorrow too! Sounds like you have a great plan in place for that marathon. Mentally and physically, it must be beneficial to plan in advance.
I never really liked running until I got a treadmill because I couldn't pace myself. The treadmill was great for me and I would just love to run and zone out! My hips and knees began yelling at me, so I got an eliptical to do my "going no-where but still running" cardio sessions. My husband can't stand the stationary machines and would rather be out biking. That's too hard when I was taking care of the kids, dealing with weather, temperature, and traffic. I like the bubble I've created in my workout space. It works great for me!
Cheryl- Physically fit people always amaze doctors! That's great that you don't have pain with your condition. Keep up what you are doing, it obviously is working. I personally would like to get up earlier to do part of my workout. Always the best way to start your day! As far as working out at night- I find when I do cardio it takes me a while to get to sleep and then, I don't sleep as soundly. I thought it would work the other way. Maybe I'm not working hard enough? How about you? I checked out your pic trail- you have a great looking family (large one too!) Not sure how you do it, but Kodos to you!
Belinda- I personally will do more workouts- and be more consistent. I'm "on" for a long time, then I take a break - not really intentionally, but it ends up by being a vacation! Then I curse myself when I start up again and get into it. I guess I need a plan B and plan C to go with the plan A when I can't get my workout in because of things that are going on! Tomorrow I think I'm dong Muscle Max with eliptical.
Robin- I need to plan more like you- do something else when my first plan doesn't work! I checked out your pic-trail too- very nice pictures.
The cars are beautiful. We will have to live vicariously through Shelly right now.
Josie- I think that you're right about girls night out once in a while. I hope the movie is good. My kids are wanting to see it too. The last time I went to a movie, I popped gum in my mouth before I got out of my car, and then put a fresh one in when the movie started. That helped me get through the munchies. The kids love the popcorn - it's part of their experience, but then they get out of the movie and say "I think that I ate too much popcorn. I'm just having a salad for dinner tonight!" I'm et too dehydrated the next day when I endulge. Those companies know how to make something that's hard to put down. Plus, our movie theater has free refills!
Beth- how often to you teach class? Do you just sub? Being in front of the class instead in the class must be hard! Sounds like you worked them if they left sweaty. I agree with you on Drill max! It is one of my favorites!
Have a great day- and remember, not only is it Palm Sunday tomorrow, but it is April Fools' day to those that have kids (young and older). I am on the lookout! My kids have been scheming and I know it! I won't get hit by the spray of water from the black electical tape on the black sink sprayer again when I make morning coffee!
