I forgot what day it is

I think I am currently on Week 7 Day 5. I have seriously lost track. Ever since my kids were on Spring Break it's been hard to be consistent with blogging. This past weekend my mom and sister came to my house for a girls weekend, which made sitting down to blog pretty much impossible. I was frantically trying to clean the house for them,on Friday which would have been Day one of week 7, and I almost talked myself out of exercising. I didn't think I would finish it all and I was so tired. But at 5:00 I found myself putting in the DVD. One of the biggest reasons I did it, was because I couldn't lie to my husband. So, I got going on my Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and 10 minutes in my sister walks in. She was so stoked I was doing it. So she threw on her workout clothes and got in there with me. 15 minutes later, my mom walks in. She put on her clothes and did it. It was actually quite fun. Just as we were finishing and ready to do the ab video, my husband walks in with my son covered in blood. I'm not kidding. He had been hit in the nose at baseball by a line drive. He was bleeding, but thankfully nothing was broken. So, the video was forgotten and the next thing we knew it was time to eat dinner and send my husband and kids to Palm Springs so we girls could be alone.

Saturday was Plyometrics. My sister Kim wanted to do it with me. She is in way better shape than me. She has run marathons, half marathons and works out at least 4 times a week consistently. She and I had to clear the entire living room of extra furniture so we could jump around. I was worried we wouldn't  both fit. But we made it happen and burned over 620 calories in 60 minutes. That's a record for me so far. It was pretty fun and she showed me that I was doing my squats a little incorrectly and helped line me up. Sometimes it's good to have an extra pair of eyes. Sunday was Back and Biceps. I did really well with the 15 pound dumbbells and I can do almost the entire Ab video. I can at least do all the moves, but I am yet to complete 25 reps for each move. It's so tough.

Monday was Yoga. Still bluh. I wish I could say it's getting better. But it's not. At least I don't think so. Today I messed up. I for some reason thought it was Day 6 and did Kenpo. Halfway through I realized it was Tuesday and not Wed. I don't think it's a big deal. I enjoy Kenpo now, I am not as awkward and I am able to work up a pretty good sweat.

My clothes are definitely fitting better and my husband says I look smaller. My aunt the other day commented that I look thinner. Even though the scale still only says 6 pounds down. That seems so bizarre to me. But I am just going to keep on persevering.
