IS IT DAY 4??

I slept so well last night, when I woke up I couldn't remember what day it was or what I was supposed to be doing. The two workouts yesterday really pooped me out.

Then reality rocked my world I remembered I had to go to work to start my 4 shifts. I really have enjoyed my 5 days off. I do love spending time with my girls, and my man.

My family is embracing the challenge also. Todd has taken himself off all carbonated beverages, and is doing 100 push ups and sit ups everyday. (he claims he lost 4.5 pounds already)-whatever!! He will join me tonight at yoga - if I can manage to pull out of work early. Kourtney is doing her exercises at school and at home. Shaelyn has to drink milk everyday (a tough one for her but she is doing it).

I am still upholding my part of the challenge and will continue to do so. Thanks to all for your input and writing about your challenges.

To day # 4- you can do it!!

DAY # 3 - EYES STILL GOT IT!!!

So I went to the eye Dr. yesterday! Secretly down deep I was hoping I would need glasses. I think glasses look so sophisticated, plus I thought looking for a pair of glasses would help suppress my appetite to shop. But nope!! My eyes are still perfect - almost 40 and I still can see - not bad!!

So last night I went to yoga at 730pm. It was the most brutal one I have ever been to. The class was jammed packed and hotter than normal. There was this man in class who breathed so heavy I was scared that I was going to have to perform CPR on him. It was so distracting, I felt he was robbing the room of the already lacking oxygen in the room. I felt claustrophobic and really didn't think I could do my 2 classes the next day.

I then had to return to the 0600 class and then 0915 to make up for the work days I will miss. I am glad to say I made it. Now I am drinking my gatorade and doing my most favourite thing in the world-blogging!!

GO TEAM, GO!!!

PS. We just got Olympic tickets for short track speed skating from Make-a-Wish. Thanks to Mona for going into Vancouver to get them for us!!

Day 2 continued . . .

OK . . . I took Kourtney to Children's and, ding, the gas light went on. In the bottom of my stomach I felt a huge lump when I remembered I handed over all my credit cards. I took a habitual look in my purse only to find that the cards made a return there. Thank goodness they know where their home is!! Todd really didn't . . . take them away it was just a gesture that I would give up unnecessary shopping. I did avoid Coke Zero today but I did have a green tea gingerale. It was good!

Day 2

Today will be a busy day! I slept in this morning. Need to do Kourtney's dressings, off to Children's Hospital, home, eye appointent supper and yoga!! Mona just woke Kourtney up and I need to go get my cup of coffee in so I can muster the energy to do the dressing change!!

Day one

So I went to Yoga today. The class was packed full. I had two new friends join me and I had to get people to move over .One lady refused to move so I laid down my mat beside her which forced her to move. I am so bossy. Some people call it assertive, but I know I am bossy.
So one class down and 29 to go. Sounds a bit daunting but I know I will love the positive effect it will have on my body. Still not to late to submit your challenge in the comment section.
