That Was Then

That was then.

This is now...

I was so inspired and motivated on Sunday. Rip roaring and ready to go!

Monday came and the workout clothes were put on. Then, the kids were moving slowly, the house was a wreck, I decided Jazzercise at 3:45 was much more realistic and gave myself the day to get some stuff done.

Can you guess what happened???

Right.

No Jazzercise.

Tuesday morning found me in a whirlwind as I got the kids ready and out the door and headed out the door myself to help make gingerbread houses in Caden's class. Came home, ate lunch and planned hitting the mill.

Can you guess what happened???

Well, I'm sure you can guess there was no running involved, but even I was a bit shocked at what happened...

I pulled the dog onto my lap, Brent curled up right beside me, we put Elf on the TV and I fell asleep before he could even get through the Gumdrop Forest!! Out. Completely out. I cannot remember the last time I fell asleep on the couch when I was not sick. Apparently, I'm tired.

This morning???

Well, let's just say that Cole does the dishes on the weeknights. And, let's also just say that because of late nights at wrestling the dishes did not get done Monday or Tuesday night. And, let's go on to say that I was too busy at the school, sleeping, or watching him win his first match! to get them done as well.

So, what I'm really saying is, my house was beyond disgusting and I chose to stay home and work on digging us out of the filth.

Thankfully, that is one plan that worked for the week!

So, while I could focus on the fact that I've yet to run this week and that I haven't walked in the doors of Jazzercise either, I'm not.

I'm focusing on the fact that I ate completely healthy today.

I'm focusing on the fact that I've rested this week.

I'm focusing on the fact that the terrible cough and cold that I've had for over a month is now miraculously going away... could it be that my lungs just needed some rest??

I'm focusing on the fact that I've snuggled with the kids A LOT! That I got A LOT accomplished today AND had a tasty dinner on the table! AND made molasses cookies for the family.

So, while I haven't ran or exercised in the least, I'm enjoying the many benefits of the break and am hoping that my body will be all better for my fun weekend of running with friends.

Also hoping that my computer that heads to the hospital tomorrow will come back healthy, happy and with all the pictures still on it that I have failed to take off for the last 3+ years!
