Keeping the Dream Alive – Fitness Challenge Continues

What day is it anyway?

I had a slug day yesterday. After grocery shopping, there was no way I could motivate myself to get out there and lift weights. I’ve been having a lot of broken sleep lately, so I tried a nap option instead. It worked to some degree – as much as my 4 y.o. would let me.

But today, someone called me a Super Mom on another blog…ahhhhh! I’m not a Super Mom….I can hardly drag my butt out of bed in the morning. I pull the covers over my head and hope the 4 y.o. will go away. He never does….

In light of that, I found myself compelled to run this morning – according to schedule. It is a super hot/humid day and my Garmin is FRIED. So that gave me a little wiggle room to do our almost-6-mile run with modified walking segments according to the whims of my children.

I came back absolutely drenched in sweat. My shirt was so wet, I had to pull it off. To which my 4 y.o responded – you look like the lady on your workout DVD now (only a sports bra on.) Then he took off his shirt to be just like me. What a kid! Glad he isn’t a girl.

But, I still can’t shake the weariness that has been dogging me this last couple of weeks. I took a small nap this morning after I put the almost-2 y.o down, but I’m still tired….

I’m planning on kicking butt the rest of the week, although the gaping blister I have on my right hand from raking is going to present a little problem when I hit the weights tomorrow.
