Trying to come up with an exercise plan.

Marilyn Monroe Exercise
We all need to get a little bit of exercise daily. If staying healthy is for you. I need to for my kids. I want to live a long life to hopefully see all their accomplishments.

Dilemma: I lack the intrinsic motivation needed to get going. I MUST OVERCOME THIS STUPIC SET BACK!
I have several options…1. Wake up early, like at 5 am to jog around the neighborhood. 2. Wake up early and do some aerobics here at home. 3. Jog in the evenings. Now for the duration…3 times a week, lets say Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Okay, let me up the ante a bit. I will make this a 3 month challenge. Too small? Okay 5 months.
Now, staying healthy is the goal but now I can’t help but to think of all the other positives that will manifest from this wonderful challenge. Regular exercise will relax and clear my mind, release endorphins (great for many other things), and make me lose weight. I would love to see myself in my old 3/4 dresses.
I just need to decide what I am going to commit to and when to start. Decisions, decisions.

Sadly admitting that I have not come up with an exercise plan. Huge bummer for me since I can't stand wanting to get something done and taking so dern long with the details of it. I bet I won't commit to anything yet because I don't have a clear goal layed out for me to get excited about. That's got to be the reason.
As soon as I have the goal then the plan goes in forward motion. Goal coming soon.

Long weekend with birthday love in the air

Image
I know I've had other weekends that led into a Monday vacation day. This one is special though. My Princess's birthday is coming up and we will celebrate all week. Making this Monday extra special. :) This past Saturday was the day Lex and four bff's celebrated her birthday. I woke up early to start the preparations. I first went to pick up the cake. Then drove to pick up the balloons. After that I went to the movie theater to purchase the movie tickets to see Kung Fu Panda 2 in 3D. The next thing I did was go to the restaurant, Gringo's, to decorate the table and leave the cake. And the final thing I did was go to buy Ricky's earned DSi. I promised that as an award for doing good work on the TAKS test. He not only did good but TOTALLY FANTASTIC, because he earned a commended score in Math and in Reading. I was tickled pink when his teacher called to tell me. Ricky went with me to do all that birthday party running around because he knew I would make that purchas...

Hard decisions?

Would it be horrible if I made my son do something using the I'm an adult-your a child, I'm right-your wrong, I'm big-your small mantra? I think it would. I like to explain situations to both my kids. They may not have complete understanding but they do have feelings and I take them serious. Although sometimes there are situations when a parent does have to make decisions because they just know what is best. Done. And in time the kids will look back and know that what we did was for their protection and better good. This weekend I had to endure the pain of watching my son's reaction to changing drum instructors. He would of played the same song for 20 years just to not hurt the feelings of an teacher who knew that what Ricky needed was beyond his abilities to teach. My husband and I agreed that learning to read music, in addition to all drum theory was better for our son. A new teacher with the experience was now available for an even better lesson time that worked ...

Am I doing this right?

For Lent I encouraged the family into following a prayer routine of every night praying for a different classmate. The original idea was to pray for the people we have little love for in our hearts. After two nights I realized my kids have few people in that category. I am glad. So our nightly prayer time turned into just praying for someone different. My kids get it because they pick the person who they remembered something bad happened to, like get sick, get beat up, or just looked like they needed prayer. My daughter said, “Mommy I don’t know her name but she worked with the photographer at school and had tattoos all over her body and piecing in places other than her ears. Please let’s pray for her.” How could I say no to that. This year I want the kids to not just “give something up” I want them to reach out their hearts for others. And experience a true sacrifice of being selfless while looking for people to pray for and searching for the needs of others. I however, during l...
