Sparrow's Nest Academy - OR - Mama's homeschool gym and angst chamber
• Apr. 20, 2008 - being a good wife
well, in one of many ways i guess - for my husband i guess...
here the boring blog posts start up again where i just write in shorthand what i did for exercise (thus the "homeschool gym" part of the title of this blog...)
Dh is going to whip me into shape again (i hope!) - next tuesday will mark four weeks since Mielle was added to our family, and i guess i can put it off no longer.
I've been back eating in the Zone (but i'm hungry!) - i think we might need to tweak my blocks since i'm nursing an awful lot, but i'm not losing weight that fast anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter - but i want to make sure baby is getting good quality food from me :)...
and i've done one "crossfit warmup" - well, kind of - maybe it was last week, and i only did 2 rounds...
so tonight is my official start :)
i've got 27 pounds to lose (down from 45 :)...)
tonight's "workout" was a modified Crossfit warmup -
3 rounds of:
5 pullups (assisted by medical supply tubing looped around the top of the station)
10 pushups (girl style)
10 squats
we'll start out slow and easy (i'm still shaky, and that's pretty pathetic, but gotta start somewhere!)
and here's a photo for motivation...
I wish I had a personal trainer! I'm not sure I could handle it being my husband, though.
He's not very tough with me, anyway, so it would never work.
BTW, I think that is beautiful picture of both of you. You look very fresh faced for a mommy of a newborn. I always look a little dazed and confused at that stage of things!
I'm a homeschooling mom with seven littles 12 and under... changing diapers and dealing with hormones and loving that God trusts me with this big job and this big joy!
