Day 220

Thursday, July 05, 2012

Today I was busy catching up food prep to eat healthy food, and laundry from being gone lots of days this week. I finally got my workout done, and hubby convinced me to lift weights. That was about a 30 min workout. I haven't done weights as much as I want, but I've at least started back at doing them again. Last week I got one weight session in, this week one weight session as well. Maybe I'll be able to get some done on Saturday too. We'll see how my time goes. As always, I'll be busy, busy, busy.

Day218

Tuesday, July 03, 2012

I did a quick and fast 10 min on the elliptical. I tried to sprint the whole time since I only have time for 10 minutes. Whew! I am sweating now!

Last night we had another swim meet. Bridget (6) swam four races again and did great! Mikey (15) swam much better since he had new goggles. He took second in the 100 freestyle. Patrick (14) also looked good and took second in the backstroke. Stevie(10) was on fire and I think he took first in all five of his races. His 25 freestyle time was 19:11, and he took first in breaststroke. He beat out a teammate who is excellent on breaststroke.

The next meet is the conference meet. I think the coach needs all of my kids for at least one race each. We'll see how it goes. Wish them luck!

Days 214-217

Monday, July 02, 2012

We had a busy weekend. Hubby and I drove up to the Twin Cities to get a Toyota Sequoia. The dealership up there had to get it from Fargo, ND. I really enjoyed the alone time with hubby, but it was way too short, and way too hurried. We stayed at a nice hotel, swam in the pool, enjoyed the hot tub, and ate at the nice restaurant there too.

I managed to keep my streak going, with hubby's help:

Friday (day 214)-20 minute mall walk at Jordan Creek in Des Moines. It was a nice break from the car for a while, and air conditioned.

Saturday (day 215)-10 minute walk around the pond at Jordan Creek. It was after dark this time, so it was bearable outside.

Sunday (day 216)-at the pool with the family for two hours. I swam a straight 10 minutes of backstroke during the break (when the adults own the pool).

Today (day 217)-30 minutes on the elliptical. I would do more, but we're getting ready for another swim meet right now.

Day 213-I survived the swim meet

Thursday, June 28, 2012

The swim meet was fun last night, although I'm still worn out from it. I drank lots of water and gatorade last night during the meet. We had ice cream after the meet to cool down a little bit. Blue Bunny, bunny tracks ice cream never tasted so good! The kids swam great. Stevie (10) came in under 20 seconds on the 25 freestyle and took first place. It was very competitive. Bridget (6) swam four races. They needed her for the relays. Overall, I had 22 races to watch my kids swim.

Today I only walked one mile in 19 minutes for my workout. Still TOM and worn out from last night, but I still worked out.
