Exercise Week 5/10-5/16

Well, let me tell you that I am really glad that I decided to keep myself accountable this way. I am still recovering from a cold this week, and if I wasn't thinking about having to post what I've been doing, I probably wouldn't have gone to the gym at all. I am still not back to where I want to be, but I had a much better week and am feeling good about it!

Monday: OFF
Tuesday: OFF
Wednesday: 45 minutes eliptical, 20 minutes weights
Thursday: 35 minutes eliptical, 20 minutes weights
Friday: we walked as a family to IHOP: about 2 miles round trip, had to carry ethan part of the way and it was hot!
Saturday: 35 Minutes elliptical, 20 minutes weights
Sunday: OFF

Bad Exercise Week :-( 5/3- 5/9

Man oh man, I'm not very proud of this week but I had a lot of issues. Hoping to get back on track this week although I am still under the weather....

Monday: Off
Tuesday: 30 min elliptical 20 min weights
Wednesday: really bad sciatic nerve pain, plus I had 2 extra kids here most of the day
Thursday: My birthday, my back was still hurting, the pain meds I took made me feel awful
Friday: 30 minutes elliptical 20 minutes weights
Saturday: Photo shoot in the morning with the boys and church at night
Sunday: OFF

I had pretty good reasons not to go but I am still disappointed in myself. Now I have a cold, but I am going to Zumba tomorrow night whether I want to or not!!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

My Mom and I (1982)

God could not be in every place

With loving hands to help erase

The teardrops from each baby's face,

And so He thought of mother.

:::::

He could not send us here alone

And leave us to a fate unknown;

Without providing for His own,

The outstretched arms of mother.

:::::

God could not watch us night and day

And kneel beside our crib to pray,

Or kiss our little aches away;

And so He sent us mother.

:::::

And when our childhood days began,

He simply could not take command.

That's why He placed our tiny hand

Securely into mother's.

:::::

The days of youth slipped quickly by,

Life's sun rose higher in the sky.

Full grown were we,

yet ever nigh To love us still, was mother.

:::::

And when life's span of years shall end,

I know that God will gladly send,

To welcome home her child again,

That ever-faithful mother.

Love you SO much Mom!
