Ang verses the "shred"

So the shred is still going. I am on day 4. I wasn't very smart because I started day 1 in the evening and the very next morning at 6:30, I was up and starting day 2. I was a bit more prepared and peed first. Next I grabbed a big glass of water and started day 2. Things went pretty good...I was still enthused. However, by that night, my whole body ached. It hurt to sit up and move, my arms were so stiff. But I kind of like that, it makes me feel healthier, so I ate 2 cheerio jello squares. Heehee.
Day 3 came next. I woke up before my alarm which I took as a good sign. The kids were still sleeping, so after my morning pee and grabbing my big glass of water, I started with no volume on the tv. My body was unbelievably sore so it was really hard doing the push ups and staying focused on not taking too many breaks.Basically it was hard just to keep going until the kids came out when I was finishing and I had my own personal cheer leading team. Day 3 was brutal. All day at work my arms throbbed and my movements were very stiff. I came home and looked like an idiot walking around my house shaking out my arms and legs trying to loosen up my joints. Oh and I did some extra stretches.
Day 4 I jumped out of bed. The kids woke up at the same time and I felt better starting. I had a bit more endurance except for those lousy push ups. The kids watched again asking me who I was following. I said the girl in green because she is doing it easier. The kids told me they could do all those things easy but they never did do it or even tried! They just watched. And would yell if I paused or looked away from the tv or broke the rules by not using the weights for only one set of exercises.
This brings me to tonight. I am not as sore as I was yesterday. Day 3 was definitely the worse. I am still excited for tomorrow morning. Because from what I've told, the next few days you feel your endurance and muscle power build. Hooray...I hope so.

day 1

huff puff huff... so I started with my day 1 of the 30 day shred. Hold up....deep breath in and out.
My legs are currently still shaking, I am sweaty and remember one of my early blogs about being a mom.... wet underwear. Yep, I can not do a jumping jack without leakage. So tomorrow( I hope I have the power to do day 2), I will remember to pee first, put on a pad and pray my legs hold up because I am sure there will be sore muscles. A

I forgot

So the month of May has been busy and I like it like that. It makes time go by quickly and with each day, brings me closer to having Don done school and back at home.

So I tend to forget about my blog. In response to my last post...the lie was the last one. I have never memorized all of psalm 119...the longest psalm. I think it has 176 verses and I may have a good memory but not yet that good.

I guess I should make that a goal, but I have soooo many hopeful ideas and I am not good at the follow through. Just today I have decided to do the 30 day shred...starting tomorrow. LOL. Ask me in 30 days how I did?

truths and 1 lie

I was lying in bed one night and I remembered a ice breaker game called 2 truths and 1 lie. People had to guess what was the lie, so I got to thinking what I would do and all I kept coming up were truths. Then I couldn't sleep because I headed down memory lane. SOOOOO can you spot the lie?
