Um, right. She came zipping over 2 seconds later and said, "Mama! You want to exercise with me?"
I'm thinking about firing her as my personal trainer...seriously, this girl doesn't let up.
Very fitting, I suppose, seeing as how I am trying to do a wrap-up post for Linda's 2 week 5x30 challenge. And I have to say I owe most of my success to Savannah for pushing me every day, because let's face it - most of the time it's much easier to find something more fun to do, like clean the bathrooms.
So I've made a little progress. My Tae-bo kicks, while nowhere near my head, are a little higher than they were. I can make it through the whole thing without collapsing in a heap like I did on the first day. And in my book that is some serious success.
Out of the two weeks (not counting weekends), I missed one day. Last Friday was crazy, I can't remember what was going on, but I just couldn't make it work. But the rest of the time I was able to fit in at least an hour workout.
I usually hate every second while I'm doing it, but I feel incredible afterwards. Funny how it's the exact opposite when I cave and eat chocolate...I feel incredible while popping them in my mouth, and then horrible after. A combination of the sugar rush and the guilt, I suppose. Hmmm.
So part of my motiviation for this has been an upcoming trip at the end of April. Savannah and I will be going to Missouri to visit my grandparents, and so I have set a little weight loss goal for myself. Now, they could care less what I look like, but it just gives me something to shoot for, and I've figured out that I do so much better with a short-term goal in place.
Linda has promised to come back next week with another challenge....bring it on!

Good job "moving it!" I'm looking forward to the next challenge too.

way to go!! I am with you, I hate doing the exercise every minute but love it when I am done!! I have been off for 3 weeks with all that has been going on, tonight I am starting back up.....I am dreading it!
I'm very proud of you. I failed this challenge in epic proportions.
Awesome job, Jackie. I love how this is teaching you to set little, doable goals. You really sound proud of yourself, and you should be. And give that little trainer a hug.
I need an encourager like her! Around here, I'm just encouraged to make another meal. And quickly.
Great job! Keep it up -
Good job, girl.
Keep it up!!!!
And maybe Savannah will end up being an aerobics instructor or something. Appears like she has a knack for it!!! :)
That's great! I never work out...and wonder why I'm fat! haha At least pregnancy is a good excuse. I live in Missouri! Where do your grandparents live?
LOL you might have to fire your trainer:) I am glad Savannah kept you motivated.
Awesome Jackie!!!! I am so impressed! I need to borrow your little personaly trainer!
You can do it! I've been on with the exercise, but not so on with the eating. I need deliverance from Coca Cola!
Where in Missouri? That's where I live, you know!
Good job. I hope you reach your weight goal and that you have a great trip.
You GO girl! Way to stick to the exercise program.
I too struggle with not wanting to do it, but LOVING the endorphin kick after I'm done :)
That is a lot of exercise! Way to go, my friend! Way to go!
