I Rock!

Still Going Strong!

Weekly Progress:

I have to say that I am genuinely proud of myself right now.  I lost 5.8 pounds!  I was coming off of a really bad week, and my typical pattern is to do good for a bit and then gain it all back and more and get depressed.

Lynndsey is way helping me identify and rectify this (lol @ rectify…sounds like a naughty word…just sayin!).  I don’t know where I’d be without her.

But I would be in much less pain lol.  Yesterday as I drove to the gym and passed the ‘dreaded hill’ she has had me climb on occasion, I was relieved to see the sprinklers were on.  Yes!  It won’t be that workout today.

But alas, she fixed my clock and said we were doing it anyway and this time we were going for 5 times up and down and no stopping on each one-my record is 3.

It’s really good for conditioning and she is working with me to condition my lungs to control my breathing.  I am happy to report that I beat my record and did 5 and 4 of them at a really fast pace (did I mention this hill is pretty steep…both ways in the snow…ok j/k about some of that but it is steep).  And this is why Lynndsey is the shizz…lol.  After 4 I thought I was dead and told her I couldn’t do another, but she pushed me through it and as a result I felt so strong!  So proud and happy.  I felt like I could conquer the world!

Torturing Sammi:

My poor daughter.  First I tortured her with swimming lessons where she would only do ONE of the items…the rest she screamed bloody murder at – yeah that was MY kid screaming the whole time.

Then after that we had a photo shoot.  She was all dolled up and in such a good mood, but that poor dear won’t do anything without her Mama & Dada right there!  It took twice as long as a normal session and she wouldn’t do 70% of what we tried to get her to do, but amazingly we still got some gorgeous pics:

 

Life is an adventure!
