Disguised workouts, Doctors, "Moo Cows", Pilates, Princesses, Green Hamsters, and Sexy Me

(a message that was supposed to be posted yesterday but my computer went BIZZERK!!)


Been gone for a minute but guess what?... I'm BAAAACK!!!

Bwa ha ha ha hahhh, just when you thought I had gotten quiet?  Never that!! :0)  Alrighty so here's the scoop, aside from running around, like a chicken with my head cut off, since I last posted I did my workout on the pilates machine and then the boys' birthday was the following day (Tuesday)... I didn't do much of anything on that day except for cuddle the boys ** Oh wait!  I did a dance off with the children and that broke a sweat, I forgot that I disguised my workout by having them dance with me.  That was fun!**  Oh yeah and then I did some cooking and cleaning. 
    Then Wednesday I was dragging four kids out the house for the twins' 2yr. doctor appointment, fortunately Mom was able to come with me and we successfully had the visit (a shot in the leg for each boy but Nate didn't cry at all and Ishy cried for maybe two seconds and then he was like "huh, is that all you got?")  To celebrate the success we went to "Moo Cow's" as the kids call it (Chick-fil-a) and smashed our faces when we got to the church building.
    Spending some much needed time with Mom was really good for us and we were sad to have to leave... By the time we got home it was almost five and I made everyone rest in their beds so that I could at least stretch out for a few.  Then it was dinner and then it was SLEEP.  Days like Wednesday are so full that they are a workout in and of themselves!!!
    Thursday I did some working out on the pilates machine in the afternoon and some leg lift repetition.  (Step 7: Indoor workouts are mandatory if it's just me watching the kids- naptime is primetime to git-er-done!!)
    Friday Mom came to visit us at the house and then she watched the boys for me so I could take the girls to a Princess themed birthday party (of course you know that the girls were all decked out!  Callista wore Ariel's wedding gown and shoes - courtesy of Mom :0) and Ariana wore Tiana's green gown and shoes - courtesy of Mom :0) and they were covered in bling - courtesy of Ishmael and myself)  It was a team effort!  When the girls showed up they were blinking and blinging and catwalking and stylin'  LOL
    Saturday I was sick as a green hamster and comforted myself with a shot or two of Pepto Bismol

and Sunday I put forth the effort to show off the fitter (taking better care of myself) me - decked out from head to toe and even gave myself a cute faux-hawk hairdo.  (Definitely a hairdo I'll repeat in the near future!!!)  Just me bringing back the sexy on a whole-nutha-level LOL


So WHAT A WAY TO FINISH THE WEEK!

Now, let's bring it to this week...  Monday I rested.  (Hey, if God took a day to rest... surely I can take a hint that rest is a good idea!)

Today I cleaned the entire house, did laundry, organized, de-cluttered, dusted, swept, mopped, took care of kids, ACTUALLY FOUND TIME TO EXERCISE W/ MY SISTER, more laundry, rearranged the upstairs living area's furniture (because I wanted a fresh take on life LOL), took care of an under the weather daughter and all of her demands, made business phone calls, WHEW!!!, made lunch, and stretched out for two seconds before Natey woke up from his nap!!!  Crapola, no rest for the weary, and I'm still doing loads of laundry LMBO!  Anyone else have a day like this where it seems you haven't stopped moving since you woke up, jumped out of bed, and your feet hit the floor?  Well, there's no seeming here!  I've been moving all day.

I was going to try jogging with Ishmael today but since I already caught a mid day workout and have been non stop all day, I figure I must have burned more calories by not staying still at all - than I ever possibly could by jogging for what would probably be one minute LOL well, that's pretty pessimistic, I'm sure I could have jogged a minute and a half LMBO!  But it's better to not kill myself all in one day anyway, otherwise when would I ever want to exercise again???
Step 8:  Know when you've done enough for the day!!!
Oh!!! I forgot to say step 9, it was mentioned earlier, but I didn't highlight it.  Step 9: Dress like a beast... that means put in some effort to dress up, do your hair, and get dolled up to show off what you're workin' with and what you're workin' on!  Yea!  GET SOME!  Confidence makes getting fit - SEXY LOL  :)

XOXOXO
