This past Saturday I decided to take all the kids to the fair. Of course it was 100 degrees that day, so it was the worlds #1 bright idea. We all had a great time being sweaty petting the animals and watching magic tricks, but there was a severe shortage of water-filling stations. We brought two large water bottles and ran out pretty quickly. By the time we got home, pretty much all of us had headaches. I'm guessing it was minor heat stroke, brilliant! Right? Way to go mom! I hydrated, they hydrated, we all hydrated and they went to bed....but I could not. You see, I hadn't done my 21 day fix workout for the day and I am determined NOT to owe Scott $1 and admit that I can't stick to something for 21 short days. I laid on the sofa for 30 minutes hoping my head would catch up to me and I'd feel well enough to do a half decent workout. Well, 30 minutes later my head was still spinning and my bed was sounding REALLY nice. Everyone was already asleep and I was exhausted, so call it an excuse or heat stroke ( I prefer the later:) I sadly did not do my workout on Saturday :( I was SO bummed!!! I couldn't even do 21 days of working out!?!?!? Wow....laaaame.
Hours later, ok, the next day. My pity party was over. I decided I was NOT a failure and you know what? I had worked out for 10 days straight without fail! Maybe I'm not so lame after all! I felt better about myself, but I wasn't ready to become an official slacker and make skipping workouts a routine. The very next day we left for vacation in Bend and you know what I did? I packed my yoga mat and both sets of weights into my duffle bag and hauled those mothers all the way to Bend with my workout DVD in tow! I was NOT giving up and I was NOT taking a vacation from my dream of a new me. Bend was just going to have to understand that I am a woman on a mission and no one messes with that!
All 3 days in Bend I did my workouts. I was SO proud! One night Scott was watching and said he didn't think he'd be able to do half the stuff I was doing. That made me happy :) BIG SMILE. I just hope all this work pays off and that I start to notice a change in my body. Crossing fingers!
Happy Sweating!
