Workout Thursday

I went on a walk this morning with a friend and meet another friend at Body Jam tonight.



I did see the doctor today who said I most likely have a herniated disc in my neck. I need to get an MRI to confirm diagnosis, go to physical therapy, reduce impact activities, and wait 6-16 weeks. So tonight at Body Jam I did not jump around much. I am glad to know what is wrong, but sad it has such a long recovery time. I guess the 3 weeks that have passed since this first happened should count in my recovery time, so I am down to 3-13 weeks!

Workout Wednesday

I ran 3 fast miles and did spin class.  I see the doctor tomorrow for my shoulder and wanted to make sure it was good and hurting. ;)

21 Months

Little Britches is 21 months old!  She is growing up fast!  She is not too cuddly or kissy.  She has a pretty independent spirit.  (I have no idea where she gets it. haha)  But we did get a few cute and cuddly pictures after church on Sunday.

Workouts/ Health Challenge

Friday and Saturday I was at a retreat that had a packed schedule, so I got in very litte "exercise" but I did have a friend there that is doing the health challenge with me so we managed NOT to each peach cobbler and brownies!  Go us!  I have been faithfuly tracking my calories since last Wednesday and have lost 1.5 pounds, which is a step in the right direction.  I am just reminding myself that small daily choices add up to big long term results.

Workouts:

Sunday- walking with family

Monday- run with friend in the am, walk with friend in pm

Tuesday- squats, crunches at home

Today- I plan on spinning again, but it will depend on my husband's arrival home

I press on towards the goal! And I see the doctor tomorrow about my shoulder.  Hopefully I can get back to running soon.

Boss Your Heart

I have fallen behindon my Bible reading.  I did catch up some this weekend and have dedicated each of Little Britches naptimes to reading until I get caught up, but I did write a devotional for Lorranin over at All Are Precious in His Sight.  Enjoy!

 

"Peacock Park"

We went to play at Mayfield Park.   I often think we have found most of the free fun things to do in Austin, but we had not been to this particular park, which is often called "Peacock Park" because there are some free roaming peacocks at the park. 

Little Britches liked the peacocks, but she DID NOT like the sound they make, so our trip was mixed with alternating smiles and tears.  It was an emotional day.  Daddy works close by so he come over to the park for a picnic lunch!  That was a treat.  Here are a few pictures from our adventure.

Note:  I have tried to upload photos to this post 3 times!  Just posting it for now without photos.

Me and my buddy enjoying a sunny day!

The beauty we saw all around us

Telling Mommy where to go

Glad Dad came to join us for a picnic lunch

I do NOT like the way those peacocks talk!  It is too loud!

Sleep Begets Sleep

I read once that for little ones sleep begets sleep.  That has seemed to be true for Little Britches for sure, but right about the time the time changed we got off and have not really gotten back on.  She has had multiple days this week where she has talked and played in her crib for hours without napping when I just minutes before she was barely able to keep her eyes open.  Advice?  Help?  Words of Wisdom?  I am open to suggestions!
