One of my 36 things is getting in shape so in the past few days I have been working very had at this. Ok, not that hard, but working out for about 15 minutes a day, at home with no equipment, because that is definitely the best way to do it, right?
I'm just starting out with the basics for now because I am about as out of shape as a kettle is black.....or something.
So the first night I focused on pushups and managed to do 20. Not consecutively, but managed to get it done.
Last night I tried to do a more rounded workout. Managed 10 pushups, 30 situps and 20 squats before my body screamed profanities and threatened to shut down.
Tonight I did the same "exercises" and managed 20 pushups (consecutively) 37 situps and 20 squats. I tried to do one more squat and literally fell over, so I thought I should probably stop.
I was sore all day and every time I moved my abs felt like death so I was not looking forward to tonight but it actually hurts less tonight than it did last night so hopefully that is a good sign.
It is always hard to type because my arms are so heavy when I get finished, but I feel like laying down and dying afterwards is counter-productive.
The food I am craving immediately afterward is probably counter-productive as well.
So that's where I am today. Feels like I'll never get to where I want to be, but I'm headed in the right direction for once.

36 in 365??
I can't believe how long it has been since I wrote anything on here. Things have been pretty crazy. The youth group has been keeping me busy, on top of my children keeping me busy of course.
Hannah finished pre-k in May so she starts Kindergarten in about 2 weeks. I am still working on the curriculum (if you can even call it that) but I just about have it worked out. There are a few things that she should have been able to do by the end of pre-k and still cannot but for the most part she is ready for 1st grade, so Kindergarten will be pretty relaxed. I am actually hoping to get into some 1st grade work by Christmas and maybe she will be ready or close to ready for 2nd grade work by the end of the school year. Not pushing it of course. She is only 4 :)
Catielynn is growing up quickly. Talking a lot. Smart and defiant, just like her mother :) She is getting into the 2 year old stage. Whiny and kind of mean, but still cute. I have some pre-k curriculum ready for her too. I am hoping to have her ready for kindergarten work by 4. Once again, not pushing it. She is still working on potty training. I don't really think treats and things work so well so we are just letting her go at her own pace. She is getting to where she doesn't want to poop in her diaper though so it won't be long now.
We found out we were pregnant a little over a month ago and then about 2 weeks ago we lost the baby. I am doing ok. Better than I thought I would do. Still not something I want to talk (or blog) about though. I do plan to have a longer post solely about that. One of my 36 things, though obviously one that was unplanned and not happy.
1 thing I did do that can go on the list though. We bought a "new" car! AND it's a stick so I learned to drive it :) I definitely think that counts as 2 things. Just sayin'
A few things I would like to accomplish this year (as part of my 36 things) : Catielynn potty trained, start eating healthier, work out more, get my wedding ring sized, start school.
It's a start. Something I was supposed to do in February. Oh well, better late than never :)
