I took Tuesday off because of an awful nights sleep thanks to one twin, who will remain nameless, and I took Thursday off because of an intense weight training day at the Y. I found out that the class I've been going to us called Morning Core. Man is it core, hardcore! That wasn't funny was it? This mama bear not only isn't funny, but has never done any weight training. I didn't know what half of the activities were called but they involved the bar from a bench press and me doing some crazy Olympic weightlifting moves, mixed in with push ups and hanging ab crunches. So of course I could barely move the next day, but I was totally proud of myself for keeping up.
I knew that taking the day off would make Fridays workout much more difficult. And it was. Fridays are geared towards conditioning, so I ran, lunged, medicine ball tossed, you name it.
All of this is for my kids. I am less and less concerned about myself selfishly, but more concerned about my health and strength, so that I can be the best me for Adi, Ben, and Morgan. They deserve a mom who can keep up, play, and carry them all around at once.
Last night we all went to a coworkers of Mikes house for a late Christmas party. I don't know how many other moms do this, but I obsess over bedtime routines. Going out with everyone meant going way off of schedule, and going way off of schedule means a night of me up with sleepless babies.
It was worth it though, to have some adult conversation for a few hours. I do admit to petering out around 830. I was invited back for a girls accessory swap later next week. Super cool. I wish I had more accessories to swap.
Right now I'm wearing a super unflattering but super warm/fuzzy/comfy pullover as I wait for the next snowstorm to blow in adding another 4-7 inches to the ground.
Oh Alaska I'm still getting used to you, but I'm excited to see where our relationship goes to next.
I would've loved to see you at A's house. I couldn't bring myself to do it though! Too tired, too stuck in a suit, too much effort. I know, I'm lame.
ReplyDeleteAmy you're not lame. I feel the same way alot. Its just hard sometimes. I would love to get together again though. Hang out, food, go out, snow hike, anything. :-)
