Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Well, it's Wednesday...our "light" therapy day....only 2 therapists in the house this morning and no school for SE so I decided to start a new blog.  I will still be posting about Fit For the Fight....not giving up on it at all, but wanted to take a little bit of a different route and talk about different stuff sometimes.  Didn't want to be too one dimensional ya know?!?! 


What else is changing??  The weather.  Ick.  I ran 5 miles outside on Monday wearing a t-shirt and crop leggings, pushing C in the double stroller into a headwind of what felt like 50 knots!  People kept asking where the other kid was, like you've never seen a person push just one kid in a double stroller.  After 6 people asked and I had to not only stop running (annoying), but take my earbuds out to actually hear what they were asking me.....I buckled C's alligator into SE's side.  Viola...no more questions.  Amazing.  Today, Wednesday....snow on the ground, high of 30 degrees, and of course my body is acting like it's the end of the world and I have a cold.  How is it your nose can be runny and congested at the same time?!?!  And how can I as a licensed registered nurse not understand how to NOT get sick because of drastic weather changes?!?!  All I have to say about this situation is:

 
 
I definitely ain't got time to be sick!  A 2 year old and a 3 year old require constant attention..wait, they DEMAND constant attention.  You know those kids on the autism spectrum that play by themselves?  Yeah, I don't have those kind.  LOL.  Now don't go getting your panties in a twist, that was a JOKE.  I JOKE a lot about it.  It sometimes makes it easier to deal with and well.....it's funny.  And that's my personality.
 
 
This morning I worked out at 530am with my workout boyfriend Tony Horton.
 
 
 
  Did the P90X Back and Biceps DVD.  Lifted heavy as I could for 8-10 reps and did max reps on pullups with the green resistance band for assistance yes, one day I'll move to a lighter band and then I'll move on to being able to *gasp* do an unassisted pullup.  If you know me, I have giraffe long arms and legs, so heaving this much body up against gravity with my skinny little arms is a big task.  But when my hubs came down to say adios before he left for work he told me that Feinstein was going to come get me for having these "guns".  I've started Operation: Tank Top Arms.  So by summer I'll have the kind of arms that will look awesome while wearing a tank top.  And with my half marathon training...yeah that's right..this girl is running a half in April, I should be down to 145.  I hope.  It's that dang FOOD!  I love all the wrong stuff!!  Ah well, small changes turn into big changes and I have to say that my eating now compared to 1 1/2 years ago is SO much better.  So I'm on my way, it's just taking a minute, or two.
 
Well, I must manage my minions.  One is requesting choconilk.  The exact phrase is: "Iant (while tapping chest with open hand) choconilk".  So for lay people that's "I want chocolate milk".  Hey, I'm happy....a year ago SE only had 5 words.  Now a month and a half away from his 4th birthday he's making small sentences!!!  That's awesome for us!  But our work is never done and I'm never satisfied because I know the sky is the limit for my boys!
 
 
 
Till later!!!
