March 24th

I'd like to wish a Happy Birthday to fine young man, Jurnee! I hope you enjoy your day.

Congratulations, Rainbow. Thirteen years ago this day, you became a mother!

 

 

I just finished Turbo Jam and Ab Jam with Tyler. He actually came in and got me up this morning, love that boy!

I'm hoping to get a bike and a trailer so I can ride places with the boys this summer.

 

Have a great day everybody!

Getting Back on Track

I went up to the middle school this morning and walk/ran for half an hour. I attempted day one of the couch to 5k running plan, but must admit my 60-second running intervals were more like 45-seconds long. I will stay on the each step until I actually accomplish it and will not move until I am really ready. This 9-week program may turn into an 18-week program, but that will be ok.

Tyler and I have been doing kickboxing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'll do the running plan with Travis on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Keep us in your prayers, I need all the help and encouragement I can get!

Kitsap Krud

I just read on facebook that my friend calls it the "Kitsap Krud" because it seems like everybody in Kitsap County is coming down with it. At any rate, I really don't like waking up at 4 a.m. just because my throat is on fire. Yuck! So, the back to exercise is off to a slow start, but will resume as soon as I am over this.

Okay, Rainbow.

You said I should start blogging my exercise as a form of accountability, so here goes: On Monday, Melissa and I went for a walk and then she showed me a bunch of strength training exercise I can do with equipment I already have.

Today:

1 Mile Walk Away the Pounds for Abs

Belly Dance Basic Moves (for the stretches, mostly)

 
 

I also did my Bible study already, have the 3-year-old taking his bath, and am energized for the day. Yay!

I just dropped off the boys. Travis, cousin Josh, and friend Sean to the local corn maze for a youth group outing. Tyler to the church for a sleepover "Jammin in your Jammies" night. Tommy is sitting at the table eating cookies and ice cream and being happy. A friend stopped by earlier with her 2-year-old grandson. The grandson was in the hallway and my friend was in the dining room when 2 loud, rambunctious teenage boys burst through the front door wearing scary masks and carrying plastic weapons. There was a scream, lots of crying, and for the next 1/2 hour we had an inconsolable little boy on our hands. It was an accident, they didn't know he was here, but I think they got message about why I don't like those masks. I made them leave the masks here and not take them to the corn maze like they wanted to. Travis was grumpy about it, but I was somewhat vindicated when we pulled into the parking lot and I could point out all the little kids and baby strollers that were headed for the corn maze. They were all in good moods when I left them.
