Exercise: Spin class and cleaning the bathroom. Hey, cleaning counts! LOL
Well, I did it again! I am just loving spin class. I still am in shock that I like it so much. I really think it has most to do with the people that are in there. They are so encouraging and supportive, and it makes me feel really good. Wednesdays are their "hard" class - apparently the instructor has them doing really difficult stuff to build their skill on the bikes, and several of them told me today that since I've made it this far, I should try it. I've been pretty intimidated about it, but I told them I'd be there...so I guess I've committed myself to it!
Most of you that know me are aware that I used to be a court reporter, but when I had Kaelyn I decided to quit my job and become a full-time stay-at-home mom...or as someone once told me, a stay-at-home goddess. I prefer the goddess. ha! Well, it really has been an adjustment learning how to balance my time with taking care of Kaelyn and keeping up with the chores around the house. If any of you know me, you know I can't stand cleaning, and that's putting it nicely! So today I am trying something new.
First of all, I'm making a real effort at not watching television during the week. I told David (it's always good to tell someone so they can help keep you in check!) that I may watch the 5:00 news or something just to keep up with what's going on in the world, and I may watch a show with him at night if I feel like I've accomplished everything I should during the day, but mostly I'm going to save my shows and stuff until Friday night and the weekend. Afterall, that's what DVRs are for, right?
So today is Day 1. I got off to a good start by cleaning our bathroom when I got home from spin. If you know me, you know that's quite a feat, as I got home around 7am...so that means my bathroom was done by about 8am...crazy! At least I got the day started on the right foot. The other thing I'm doing is when I want to "relax" (the times I normally would turn on the "boob tube" as Grandma would call it), I'm going to let myself relax - sit in the recliner, whatever. But I'm planning on picking my Bible up a lot more than I normally do. This morning I already read a chapter of Matthew. I'm working my way through the New Testament.
You can tell I'm quite wordy today! Getting up early will do that to ya. I hope you all have a great, productive day!!!

NOTE: I forgot that I had a protein shake, so I didn't add that in. It was made with light chocolate soy milk, a teaspoon of healthy peanut butter and about a 1/2 scoop of protein powder. I need to add that to my list. I also wonder if I forgot to count something I ate because my calories sure are low! Just remember that I'm blonde so sometimes I may forget something. Duuuhhhh.
