Day 11 - Last trip in!

Today will be our last trip into Children's until the Olympics are over. Kourtney will see physio and occupational therapy.
I will be going to yoga with Todd tonight at 1930. I feel way better than expected. We are all sleeping so well at night and waking up cheery in the morning.
I am so thankful for this challenge, it is improving the quality of our lives.
Keep up the good work!!

Day 10 -Hitting the Wall

Ok all of you it is day 10 and there isn't a lot of comments!! Let me know how you are doing! TodayKourtney was having a bad morning and didn't want to go to school. I told her that I didn't want to go to yoga at 0600 am but I got out of bed for her. Everyday Kourtney wakes up to pain and somedays just does not want to fight it, she would rather just curl up in a ball and stay in bed ( that is what weekends are for). If you are not motivated for yourself, be motivated for Kourtney, no matter how busy your life is make yourself uncomfortable. If you live within your comfort zone you will never grow as a person. Stretch yourself it makes a huge difference.
I did double yesterday and double today and hopefully on Friday. That way I am all caught up for this next set of shifts coming up. My second class of the day is surprisingly the best one, my muscles are so warmed up that they stretch a lot easier.My jeans are fitting a whole lot better these day, 10 days and I a beginning to feel the benefit.

Day 8, and Anticipated Day 9.

Yesterday I came off nights, Todd and Kourtney picked me up from work and off to Children's. Slept on the way in, made sure Kourtney's iron infusion was off to a good start, and slept in the van for an hour. Couldn't sleep any longer.
Kourtney's hemoglobin has stabilized so now we are going to try her with an oral maintenance dose of iron. If this works she won't need the iv iron any more.
We got home at 424. I then went to yoga, came home watched hoarders with the girls, and crashed with Shae for the night.

Day 9 I am going to have to double up my yoga. So I will go to the 0915class and 315 class. Sound crazy, yep. But I am doing this for my kid.We expect her to do her exercises, stretches no matter how bad she feels. I am not going to let her down this month-at all. Her and I are fighting this battle together!!
I can do this. I am actually discovering more advantages than disadvantages.

No matter how tired or sore you are keep it up. 30 days will come and go but the benefits will last a life time!!

My weekly schedule!

DAY 4,5, and 6!!

Thursday (day #4) night I made it to yoga. The 1930 classes are packed full and hotter than morning classes.I was dreading it until I saw that Todd was there and was signed in to go.I loved having him there with me. Day# 5 I worked a day shift we had 5 babies before noon and then the rest of the shift was slow.There are no 1930 classes on Friday so I could not go.Todd and I did Kourtney's dressing change when I got home.We then planned to watch Spider man 3 all together. Before it started we ended up having a big family blowout, and had to resolve some issues before the movie started. As we were watching the movie Shaelyn narrated the whole movie during each scene. That annoyed Kourtney, so the war was on. (I was humoured by her memory for detail, she actually had every scene memorized and we only rented it last week). Day # 6 I am going to go to yoga at 0915, clean up my house and enjoy spending time with my family. I then will have to go to work and then the plan is to go to yoga tomorrow morning after my shift. I will see if I can stay awake. My other two challenges I am sticking to also. Coke zero has been easy to give up but shopping is much harder then I thought. Especially going to Costco!! It feels good to do this challenge. I am enjoying hearing about other people's challenges.I love the way it is a team effort. The weekend is here DON'T GIVE UP!! Stick to your goals!!
