Ok so I am lagging on the whole exercise thing but Monday is a new day and beginning of a new week! I started this gloomy day with... can you believe 270 situps Yay!!! After a very long weekend which involved yet another "attack" I want to get, and stay on track. Just another reason for getting healthy! So my plan is to clean the house and go for a walk. Cheers to another day! RT = 1700 (Merv is at 40...good luck man!!)

Update on this week - again where does the time go!! As it is, its 1030 at night on Thursday and I am just shaking my head. Well monday I had volleyball in which I hurt my ankle so no real walks this week poor kiddos!! Tuesday well I had my foot up pretty much all day/night. Wednesday we cleaned and I did laundry, and 70 situps yay for me - and went to bed. Although didn't sleep much as I had extreme pain in my abdomen. Went to doctor on thursday and was diagnosed with a gall bladder "attack". At that point I asked my doctor "does my body not know that I am trying to get healthy?", duh!! Come on system get it together. So know I have to work even harder so that means beefing it up - so lets go as Friday is another day waiting for me to be healthier! Here is hoping your health is happy!! RT = 1430

Sooooo where have I been, it has been a busy couple of days. Of course being busy things get put off - so no real report on the situps. We (me and the kiddos) met up with my sis and her family on friday out at a lake - very nice day overall. The kids played up a storm - we got to see D.D. in true dare devil action and had a nice bbq and smores, which I've never had before but with chocolate and graham crackers you can not go wrong. Merv drove out for dinner and then Nana took D.D. for the night. Sweeeet! Needless to say a bottle of wine later Merv had to drive home as I could not!! The next day Merv was gone most of it b/c his friend was moving. D.D. had her last gymnastics class for this session, went for breakfast with Nana and her friends - had a nap, read a book (which I'll tell you about shortly), had a very leisurely day on saturday. That brings me to Sunday - I am feeling horrible that I have not gone for a walk or pretty much anything but even now at 1020pm I finely decided it was time to get back on track. But about today we had breakfast, went and did some shopping, saw my younger bro (Uncle L.) went to Nana's for dinner & bath, did my sis's nails and put the oldest to bed. That's when I did my situps, a whole 70 since you are wondering. But it is a start - and I definitley plan on doing a whole lot more tomorrow - I will keep you posted. Back to the book for a minute, if you can believe it I read a whole book between yesterday and today (yes, a very nice weekend). It is called Undead and Unwed - a comical vampiric book which I quite enjoyed for a nice easy read. As I love to read and haven't been able to in a very long time this was a nice one to get back on track and I am looking forward to reading Undead and Unemployed - thank you Whitney!! Now that you know why I am so lazy sometimes I suggest you enjoy the read and keep your eyes on the prize. Until next time, see ya later. RT = 1360 Good luck Merv!!

So here we are Wednesday and this is what has happened. Yesterday I was cleaning the house and before I knew it it was dinner time. So I made dinner, cleaned up, had a friend over for a glass of wine and ended up with the worst headache in a long time - it put me to bed for the night. Today woke up and let the kiddos watch a movie while I took it easy, after breakfast we went for our walk (45mins) and did 90 situps. I want to ask the question does it count as double if your 2 yr old is sitting on your stomach as your trying to exercise. Also added a few pushups - need to tighten those pecs!! With that I will say - darn headache is back, looking forward to some motrin and keep it easy!! RT = 1290

SoMy postings have been lagging sorry bout that, but my situps are lagging as well. I think today is the day I think positively!! I am going to do them and push myself to get to 1500 very soon. However I am still walking, as I walked for 4mins yesterday and played volleyball. Let's see where we go today!!!

So lately I haven't felt the motivation but knowing that I should be doing something have been walking. Yesterday I watched my nephew Little J., so I took him and D.D. and went for a walk, on the way home stopped by the park. About 2mins into playing he informs me that he has to use the potty, so back in the stroller we go and boot it home in time for him to use the potty. However the wonderful Auntie I am didn't realize he was missing the potty and poor guy still ended up getting his pants wet. Oh well, good for me to learn some things!! It was a great night as we finished with a bath and the 2 cousins jumping naked on the bed - oy vay! Today was busy as I visited my Uncle in the hospital - he had major surgery but is doing better, cleaned, and then took the kiddos for a walk. What was really nice was Merv came tonight on the walk and it was soooo much easier as I had company to keep me going, Thanks hun!! Anyway wish me luck on some situps and stay tuned!!

Jus a quick thanks to those who sent mental motivation, I was able to do 150 situps and 50min walk...Yay! Going out for a much needed girls night tonight thank god for fridays!! RT = 1200

Alright everyone, send your mental motivation as I haven't done any situps but walked around the lake yesterday. It was a great walk with a friend and took about an hour. We both feel the need to buy a lottery ticket as a storm was a brewin but didn't get us, thank goodness as we had the kiddos with us, and it would have been nasty. On the bright side I think north of us got some rain! I'll check back in and let you know how your mental motivation was for me today, take care out there!

Later that same day - managaed to go for an hour walk yay, and 50 situps. Here's to motivation!! Wish you all the same, my prayers and best wishes goes to those who need it! Running total = RT 1050

I am sitting here at 230pm and wondering how it got to be so late in the day. I missed doing anything yesterday which makes me sad and to get sad news on top well I wasn't motivated. We also ended up having people over last night which enables more excuses so I just won't go there except that it was a nice visit. With all those in my life who are having heart issues - well lets just hope it will give me the motivation I need, with that being said here I go on a walk. Wish me luck!

Hey there again, so instead of working at those situps last night I went out on a date with my sis, Auntie A. we'll call her. Love havin a sister who you can just go out with and be yourself (good or bad) and she loves you just the same, thank you!! Enjoyed some sushi and a chocolate fondue, maybe a glass of wine. Wow much needed, now only to get together for a girls night for some yummy nachos, must plan that!! Moving onto today, very busy so I didn't get to my situps until just mins ago but I did that last 100 and made it to 1000, YAY for me. That puts me ahead by oh 960! I may just be winning the bet. What a beautiful day today - had coffee with my sis and her family, filtered wine, cleaned, did laundry bathed D.D. and put to bed, did my situps and now I think there is a pillow with my name on it - may you all have one too!

So about those situps...I didn't complete them yesterday however 9am is here and I just did 110, that should put my total to 900. Only 100 more to reach a thousand, whew! So back to yesterday in my defence I walked w/the kiddos for 80mins in 27 degree weather - (not so smart) I think I gave myself heat stroke. I was very exhausted and had my kids to myself last night so the 3 of us hung out and watched movies, the night ended at about 830pm for all of us, wasn't that just nice of them. Mommy enjoyed a good sleep, may you all have wonderful dreams, and here is a note from D.D. as she just wants to type too. Take care out there!!

diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidsd

With my total of situps at 790 I want to push to that 1000, lets see what will happen. Remember that walk, well I managed to get Merv to motivate me and we went for a short walk, ran into some people we knew and that was nice. Overall the walk was about 30 mins but my kiddo's fell nicely to sleep and actually pretty much managed to stay that way YAY!! So now about those situps...

Here we are a thursday before the long weekend, and Merv has tomorrow off...or so he thinks LOL! Just kidding we are wanting to sell our house b/c we have out grown it so we decided that this weekend we are going to push to get the big things done so we can list. Yay!! My little girl is starting to give way to smaller naps so I really think my days go by without getting a bunch done..I think I need a maid, good luck! On the good side I did 60 situps during lunch time, now just for that walk. It will have to wait as everyone needs a bath and I am cooking and feeding right now, with that said I gotta run,chat with you soon.

What a productive day, although my schedule slightly altered which threw me off as D.D. napped very early today but guess what bedtime came nice and early too. So two things I want to do everyday I did today...you guessed it folks, I walked for 45 mins and yes of course it rained today as well I did 100 crunches!!! YAY!!! As for my back, I had a lovely massage, well as good as it gets so lets hope for the best. I think a few more visits will be required...Oh darn! LOL And as I am getting ready for bed guess who joined in with the situps, yup he sure was...way to go hun!! My running total is 730! Go team Million!!!

Sooooo last night I managed to do a couple situps, 60 to be exact which when your counting I guess is a good thing. I have posted on here that I wanted a running room jacket and guess what, Nanna (my mom) had one she wasn't using and brought it over what a nice surprise. Thanks Nanna, also my back has been very bad lately going for massage but still very sore so I asked PaPa (my dad) if he still had his ab roller and he did and brought it to me this weekend, thanks PaPa!!! So hopefully my back will be a bit more stable because taking Motrin everyday feels more like a habit than I want it to be..:( One more thing to add this morning and that is I am very tired (sleeping is hard when you have to get up because you hurt and not a baby waking you) and mentioned a coffee this morning to Merv, he called about 10 mins ago and asked if I wanted a coffee and is going to bring me one, THank you!! Hope to chat soon to add more to my total which is now 630!

So, it's monday night of the long weekend and would you believe I have not done one sit up...what have I got myself into??? Instead we had a birthday party for D.D. she was one excited camper, then did some work on the side and had a family bbq, then today it was picture day for all kids in the household and then I did some more work on the side. On the bright side I did get an ab roller (I think it will help my back) and booked a massage. It's only 930pm but the night is still young right, lets just see....
