Even though I have had to put running on the back burner I am pleased that I have been able to continue the habit of exercise and am committed to fitting it in where I can. I did weights, crunches, lunges and squats while watching tv with kids.

Attempted to do yoga tonight but just couldn’t get through it with my two year old. There is just a point where being climbed all over just gets to be too disruptive. Made up for it by doing weights and strength training while watching Scooby Doo with my older two kids.

I’m getting over a cold. I did my stress release and conditioning yoga video. A great one to do in the evening because it is a little lower intensity and as the name implies it focuses on releasing stress with lots of stretching. I felt great after.

I’ve been finding it more difficult to practice any of my exercise videos or weight training at home without getting interrupted or climbed all over. I was able to complete my pilates video with only mild interruption from my cat, but by the time I started the weight lifting the kids were up from [...]

My new stability ball finally came in the mail. You may recall that I got one for Christmas but it turned out to be a little too small. I also bought my first pilates video to help me work out with it. I do much better with videos or live classes than just pictures and [...]

Went to the YMCA today to swim laps. It was crowded so it was difficult to do drills. But I met a group of people and worked out with them and learned some new things. It was a great. They meet on M W F. I wish my schedule permitted me to meet with them [...]

Did my strength routine with weights. I was interrupted frequently by my kids but I got a decent workout completed. I was a good girl and did my sit ups.
