Day 58

I woke up yesterday morning with a cold still.  I've had it since Saturday and it continues to get worse.  I'm actually updating my blog on Wednesday morning.  My day was so packed with stuff to do yesterday that I didn't get a chance to blog.  So here I sit, it's 6am Wed. morning and I just enjoyed my delicious crepes and I am blogging. :)  I am such a morning person.  I already have laundry in, the dishwasher is empty & I have spaghetti sauce cooking on the stove for my kids dinner tonight.  Yes, definitely a morning person.  I have so much energy when I wake up but come 7 o'clock tonight I'll be ready to crash.  I typically go to bed when the kids go to bed which is between 9 & 10.  Although tonight is Hip Hop for all 3 kids so that means it's a late night and we don't even get home until 7:45 from dance.  The joys of my schedule.  I like keeping busy though.


I had a great workout.  I finally graduated to the BIG stairmaster once and for all.  Thanks to Glenn & Danny for pushing me while I was in Miami.  I have the confidence I needed to stay on the BIG stairs.  So now my goal by Friday is 100 floors at 40 steps a floor, 4000 stairs without stopping.  I'm going to do it!!!


I must say, as I sat on the rowing machine, rowing away I had such a feeling of gratitude come over me for all that I experienced in Miami.  That week truly changed my life.  It gave me such a renewal on life and on living healthy.  I really miss being able to walk everywhere.  That was awesome.  I took our dog Luffy on a few walks yesterday just to feel the breeze and get that extra exercise in.
