Mon, Dec 9^th – Pinterest workout day!  I decided to start a 30daysquat challenge – various number of reps of the following 5 moves – Narrow squat, Narrow squat with back kick, Basic squat, Basic squart with side leg lift, and Sumo squat.  Day 1 – 6 reps of each. Then I did -

Tone-up tight routine (website is down so I don’t have the url, just a picture of the workout)–

3x{10push-ups

25 crunches

25 squats

30 lunges

50 jumping jacks

60sec wall squat}

Tues, Dec 10^th – P and I walk 1.66 miles and I did Day 2 – 10reps of each.

Wed, Dec 11^th –  Molly and I ran 2.01 miles in the afternoon in shorts! (Mile 1 @ 9:28, Mile 2 @ 9:20) and Day 3 – 6 reps of each x2 (actually did rest day).

Thurs, Dec 12^th – Molly and I ran 2.1 miles in the frigid morning! (Mile 1 @ 9:57, Mile 2 @ 9:54, 0.1miles @ 9:49) and Day 4 – rest (actually did Day 3).

Fri, Dec 13^th – Molly and I ran 2.01 miles in the morning! (Mile 1 @ 9:38, Mile 2 @9:45) and this leaves me with ~10miles left before I hit 200!) and Day 5 – 5 reps of each x3.

Sat, Dec 14^th – The plan was to walk, but then baby P had a rough night.  He was up at 3am, 5am, and 7am!  We figured out that he had a fever (100.6) and is probably starting to teeth (lots of drool and when the paci falls out he sucks on his hands) so no walking.  I was able to get in Day 6 – 10 reps of each.

Sun, Dec 15^th – The fever broke and P is feeling great!  Later in the afternoon, we all walked 1.77miles and I did  Day 7 – 8 reps of each x2.

Full Performance of "The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)" from "Puppet Mast...

Having a baby definitely prevents one from keeping up with pop culture!
We were introduced to "What does the Fox say?" just a few weeks ago and now the song is repeated daily in our house!
This Glee version made my day!

Thankful

I am thankful everyday and I make sure to say "Thank-you" to everyone I interact with during the day.

I wanted to give a shout out to our yard guys!  We live on a corner = lots of yard and we have a ton of pine trees.  In the Fall, our yard is covered in pine straw and leaves.  I raked leaves as a kid.  It is fun once.  We need to do it every weekend.  Not interested!

Our yard guys come every other Monday and I love them.

This is our yard Sunday -

This is our yard Monday after the yard guys came - So pretty!

This is our yard on Wednesday -

Not to bad.

Tons of pine straw.  Hate it!

I love the yard guys and if we had unlimited funds, I'd have the yard guys come every week!
Thank-you yard guys!

2 weeks of WWW

Soo… lets just say the last 2 weeks have been out of sorts.  Having a baby will do that.  Having a baby and a massive cold does that.  Having a baby, a massive cold, and a traveling hubby does that.  Having a baby, a massive cold, a traveling hubby, and celebrating your birthday does that.  Having a baby, a massive cold, a traveling hubby, celebrating your birthday, and celebrating your hubby’s company’s 3^rd anniversary does that.  Yes, thing having been crazy!

Mon, Nov 11^th – Off/rest/work at home day.

Tues, Nov 12^th – 2mile walk with the baby, 200 abs, and some arm exercises with 5 and 10lb weights.

Thurs, Nov 14^th – 2mile walk with the baby, 200 abs, and some arm exercises with 5 and 10lb weights.

Fri, Nov 15^th – Lazy day

Sat, Nov 16^th – Super early morning standing in line to get Pappy and then just a lazy day after.

Sun, Nov 17^th – Sleep in morning!  The baby stayed with his grandparents while we stayed in a fancy hotel celebrating my birthday and the 3^rd anniversary of G’s company.  They had a huge soaker tub.  It was wonderful!

Mon, Nov 18^th – Another busy day – physical therapy for the baby.  He has tortcollis and we need to get his neck straighten out.  After that, I had a work meeting at a local children’s hospital, a follow-up OB appointment for me, and a hair cut!  I was able to get home before it started to get dark, so I took the baby for a 1.65mile walk.

Tues, Nov 19^th – 2mile walk with the baby and 200 abs.

Wed, Nov 20^th – 2mile run with Molly (1^st mile @ 10:10, 2^nd mile @ 10:09) and 200 abs.

0.46miles @ 9:26

1min walk break

1mile @ 9:30

0.49miles @ 9:32

-> 3miles in 28:55

I did do 200abs after the run.

Sun, Nov 24^th – 1.89mile family walk and then I was able to run some errands alone.  I love being with the baby, but being able to go to Target and the grocery store without him is a good time.  I was even able to get a mani/pedi!

I go back to work soon, so I need to get on a better consistent workout schedule!

Wish me luck!
