Apr. 9, 2009 - Exercise
I did something I never thought I would ever ever do - I put my baby in the child care room! I have started dropping Lauren and Heather off while Caleb and Jess start swim team practice and exercising myself. One day, I went around the track power walking with a friend (Ok, not really exercise for me, but we did get a little bit of sweat going) and then I took Heather swimming in the big pool and even swam a few lengths 'correctly'. Makes me appreciate what the kids are doing daily in swim team, becuase it is a workout! Then today I did a program on the elliptical... yikes! That really burns those quads and glutes! And then I swam some more laps (freestyle and breaststroke) and let Heather jump off the diving board many times. Lauren was a bit overtired and wasn't staying happy so we got out and a bit before the team practice ended and started getting ready.
A friend challanged me to a weight loss contest - I have a that baby weight to loose still, and she has much more to loose. So to help her get motivated, we are seeing who can loose 7.5% (I don't have 10% to loose) first. I'm at 133, so I have to get down to 123 (last time we had a contest, my goal was 125 - so this is 2 lbs below - eek!!). Mostly, I really want my friend to loose the weight, so I would be OK with not winning, and for me to get my tonage/energy back. Right now, I am just so very sore - I really need to work on cardio!
