Bump in the road

You know what - I think this exercise thing is here to teach me that I can't control everything.  I like the idea of doing it because it's something I can do, repeat every day and have a measure of control over.  BUT add five wee monkeys into the mix, and really - I need to be more flexible.  This morning they didn't want to play exercise with Mama, so five minutes into it - I decided they needed some kid time more than I needed to exercise.

I will try and get the routine in  this afternoon, mainly because I'm a bit worried what my muscles would think if I skipped a day - so at least if I can't  get the routine in I'll do some starjumps and squats.  Today is  the day I have a nanny come in - so instead of going to do jobs that are easier without the kids tagging along - I've planned a Mama and daughter date with Miss3.  Miss3 and I have been having a few issues - not sure if it's smack bang in the middle kid thing, I'm 3 thing - or just plain I haven't had any one on one time with Mama thing.  So at least I can remedy the last one.  We're going to head down to the beach together - go for a walk and then I'll get some lunch with her from the store there.  I hope it is a nice time - I'm looking forward to it - and while I haven't told her yet (don't want the other kids to get upset) I know she'll be stoked as well.

Right ... it's time to get the breakfast into the plates and food into tummies.  Have a wonderful Friday everyone!

Day Four + Birthday cake

Day Two and Three were torture ... to be honest, I had more than a couple of five second breathers there and my starjumps and skipping didn't remotely resemble the nicely toned trainers  BUT I did move for the thirty minutes or so and today i only had a couple of five second breathers.  Extra bonus for today is that I can bend, move and squat without going owowowowowow.  I know I must be doing some sort of movememt because I'm a sweaty mess afterwards.  It is actually nice to have a quick shower and get into the day freshened up.  Now - just to stop negating my work with all the chocolate. 

Mr.2's birthday cake

Last night I made Mr.2's birthday cake for playgroup today - 10 grey M&Ms for stones on the cake .... all the rest for me (and DH may have had a few).  On the bright side, I am exercising, so they should at least cancel each other out right?  Today's goal is to drink much more water so that my milk supply stays up with it as well.

I really recommend doing something at home - our USB stick plugs into the TV, so I've just loaded it onto there.  Yesterday the AB section was done with Mr.2 trying to help .... he danced along with the star jumps.  This morning big miss held my hands while I tried to do skipping - and that was good.  They are around, but it's still some me time.  I do need to make sure it gets done before 7 though - today was a bit late, which meant DH was ten minutes late out the door - so tomorrow I need to jump out of the bed a bit faster - or change it to a different time of the day - maybe mid-day while kids are having book time on the couch?
