Find the time...

I have been so busy lately and can't believe how long it has been since I posted!  Things here have been crazy, as normal, and I have been 100% overwhelmed.  Something today made me smile and laugh.
My husband is always up to date with his current events, unlike me, whose current events include play dates and doctor appointments.  Today he told me about an article in USA today about two women who was leaving the house without their beauty routine, makeup, not shaving their legs, etc....
My first words was "Did they both have kids?"
I could not believe this was in USA today!!!!
Perhaps I am not much of a "girly girl" but I don't have a lot of time for a beauty routine!  I guess you could consider my workouts my beauty routines, but I really don't have much of fancy routine.
Jon said, "So are you going to do your 15 min beauty routine," referring to my shower....
I don't wear a lot of make up- I usually smell more like deodorant than perfume, and the thought of spending 30 minutes a day on getting pretty seems awfully pointless to me when I have an insane toddler running around.
There is always something that needs to be cleaned, paperwork that needs to be filled out, errands to be ran, or something else I have to do....
I just choose to spend my time differently.  I have to remember that people choose to spend their time on different things.  Some people choose to beautify themselves, and I choose to work out.

Fitness Fun!

Its been a while, but its time for another fitness video!  Today I worked arms, legs, and abs.  If you do this workout really fast it becomes a cardio workout.  I did 30 reps of each workout, and I used 5 lb weights, but you can use more or less weight, but feel free to use more weight or less weight.  Here is the workout breakdown:

• one leg push-ups 15 each leg (feel free to do push ups on your knees or on your toes, whatever you can do!)
• weighted squats with a military press
• knee up's with a twist, and a sprint back; I did 20 knee up's and then sprinted back and I did this 3 times...so its 60 reps instead of 30
• weighted walking lunges with a knee up and bicep curl
• straight arm weighted overhead crunches 
• plank position knee to elbow lifts- 15 each leg
• curtsy lunges with weights and a up right row- 15 each leg
• twists with a weight

Have FUN!

Sick husband- Sick house

We are quite blessed with good health, aside from Rory's leg, so now that Jon, Rory and I have all been sick within the week is just dreadful!  Its so hard on everyone!

I've been trying to get everything done for him since he feels terrible.  I kind of feel overwhelmed since when he gets home from work he helps entertain Rory, so now I get to entertain her all night and let me be completely honest....there is no good way to load a dishwasher with a curious toddler!  

I didn't want to wake him up this morning by me leaving the room to go work out because I knew he had to get up early to go to the doctors anyway, so we slept in (till 6-woohoo!).  I was really hoping to get a good workout in while he napped today with Rory, but I only got 30 minutes of my bike because I couldn't stop thinking about all the things I had to do!

Now I am such a workout junkie that all I can think about is ONLY 30 minutes of riding the bike.  But hey...the floors don't sweep themselves, and I know Rory will be up any second and the last think I want is Jon to feel bad and have a gross house.  

Hopefully the worst of the sickness is behind us!
