being a mom is a workout in itself


Well, I feel like I am constantly working out as Kaegan spills paint all over the carpet and writes on the white board with paint pens and dumps out all the art supplies and leaves the lids off all the markers and and and and....

But here is my official workout today:

legs....(did abs yesterday on aerobic day and will again tomorrow)
plie' squats with graduating weights and frog jumps as burnouts
one leg calf raises
luvly lunges with graduating weights and straight leg lifts as burnouts

The key to straight leg lifts is keeping your back straight, I would say. Anyway, it seemed like it took forever to finish those few things, so I'm glad I moved abs to aerobics day!

Have a goooood Wednesday!

HEY.. way to get it done with all the other stuff going on.. I am so inspired! I am hoping it was washable paint ..
I have pretty much given up on my carpet.. we have had so many spills its not even funny. keeping that carpet clean would be a full time job for me.

so.... what is the brand of the bench and weights you got? we need a new bench...

The weights are super-expensive, but not so much when you take into account that they are like having an entire set all in one. And we got free shipping which is 100 bucks itself! I'll send you the website! They are from bowflex and the bench is on sale right now.

Paint: not washable

sloth

Well, just so you know...I'm being a total sloth. I did frog jumps one day, and I might do HIITs on the stationary bike tomorrow...MIGHT. I'm eating on program, though...NOT! I'd forgotten how yummy peanut m&m's are! It's been fun, but I am anxious to get started back when I get home! Christmas was great, and our trip has been great. I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday time!

8 mile day

This whole running thing is a metaphor for me. I wrote about that here . I also write about autism and my son a lot. My life is filled with my children, homeschooling, and autism in particular. So, I end up writing about, thinking about these things that consume my time. As I looked UP the curving road toward a destination I couldn't see, I was reminded of my metaphor. I thought of how UPHILL days with an autistic child can be, of working toward a destination that I can't see, and I thought of "conquering." Then, I decided that really, what I want is more than just to conquer. I wanted to relax, not worry about the outcome, and enjoy what I have and where I am. So, that's what I did. For me, this is symbolic of my work with my children and especially with my child with autism. I don't know what is around the top of that bend, I do know it will be work to find out, and I make my choice, as always, to relax into my son's life and enjoy our world t...
