Spring Storms

So I had the best of intentions to go to the gym Wed night after the zoo, but then the weather decided to change all that. We had to leave the zoo early and we just made it home before the storm hit. I don't think it would've done me any good to show up to the gym during a Tornado Warning, so there went my best laid plans. Thurs night, Elijah and I had our first appt with Heather and that went really well. It lasted till almost 7pm and was way across the south side of town, so no real time or motivation for the gym after that. Elijah and Wes think they want to go to Mahoney State Park tomorrow to swim and partake in other activities (paddle boating maybe), so now I feel the pressure to be bikini ready...aaahhh!!! At least I made to the gym tonight to tan, hit the weights, and ran for 22 mins straight! (Yeah!!! I was able to run 2.3 mi in that time...I am slowly training for whatever race is next.) Tomorrow I will get up early to jump rope and do some other exercises at home. Then its off to the zoo at 9am, followed by some gym time before it's swim time. One more tanning session wouldn't hurt either :) Both boys love me the way I am , soon I will too!

Another visit after a brief "vacation"

Ok, so I've taken a slight break from blogging and from any kind of exercise. Don't ask me what that heck was going on because I can't even begin to say. Well, maybe I can at least begin to say why. Work has been kicking my butt and keeping my stress level high. (You'd think that'd be motivation enough to get my butt in gear, but sadly, no.) Then of course E has been having some difficulty adjusting to his summer schedule at daycare and it is a little bit of a struggle. Also he was having t ball practice twice a week and games weekly. They have cut down to one practice a week now, so that means I can get back to Thurs Body Pump if I don't have any dinner dates at work.
Also my BF has been trying his best to be a good guy and he does a good job, I just wish he'd do a great job. We're working on that, although he didn't come through this past Saturday for the Havelock Run and I had to skip it! But I have moved on from that...mostly. ;)
I did manage an hour of gym time Friday, a 45 min bike ride Sat, Body Combat Mon, and an hour gym time last night. Tonight I have plans to take E and my recent high school graduate sis to the zoo. They will supply dinner and a behind the scenes tour! I am hoping my sister will agree to hang out with Elijah after that so I can go to the gym.
My current motivators right now are my Nashville trip with Wes over the 4th and then the big 10yr HS reunion in Aug. So everyday I remind myself of my goals everytime I eat and every time I get myself to the gym.
This week I won't be able to make it to Body Pump because I have commitments the rest of the week. But I will still fit in my gym time and will hit BP next week!
I'll keep you p0sted!
