My day started off with Raven waking up at 5:30 and wanting to go out. I was able to stall till 5:45. She is so full of life. She is funny and yet exasperating at the same time.
I had my second session with Dave this evening and it went great. I learned the 2nd part of the plan he has set up for me. I can now say that I've leaned against a wall with a large ball between me and the wall and my feet at shoulder width and at a 45 degree angle and then sank down into a sitting position. Man that hurt! I did all twelve and felt the burn with each. I also did some additional things with the pulleys and some really strange body crunches that made you hurt everywhere. I also used dumbbells today. I'm the woman! We started out with 5lbs for each hand. I hate to admit that I was dying by the time I was at 12. Once we were done with the new stuff we did the stuff from Friday again too, but added more weight this time. Once I was done I did the leg and back stretching machine and that hurt and felt good at the same time. Maybe I will be able to do half a split by 6 months? Oh yes, I did 2 pull ups today. Progress is being made!
When I got home, Barry was cooking fresh shrimp on the grill and it was so terrific! Yummy! Then we did a bit of homework with the kids and then Emily told me all about cheerleading practice and I spotted her doing handstand backbends and then I sent them off to bed. It is now10:05pm and I'm getting my first moments of quiet all day. I'm tired and ready for bed. It is a ton of work trying to balance everything. Barry has been awesome about making it possible for me to have time to workout, but I do feel a bit guilty because he is taking on most stuff at home. They keep telling me my energy level is going to rise ~ BUT WHEN??? I'm poooooooped.
I may be tired, but I'm not giving up! Weigh-in is Thursday. I'm nervous and hope I do myself and everyone proud.
