Another Monday
Work out: 50 minutes on the bike on the cardio program which adjusts the difficulty to help you maintain your optimal heart rate. This program is evil btw. It is Monday and I took the weekend off so the first 10 minutes were hard, then I hit the zone and never looked back. I went 17 miles and still didn't touch the calories I burned last Thursday lol. All workouts this week will be aspiring to the Thursday ass kicking of last week. I feel good, there is something about working out in the morning that sets your whole day up. I've heard exercise releases hormones that make you happy but it also gets out all the frustration and tension you have!
My boring Plan:
Cleaning the floors tonight after dinner so that tomorrow after the Y I can shower and still have time to take Ara to the library to return the books we have and pick up a few movies I reserved for her. She loves watching new Charlie and Lola episodes and I'll admit it... I do too! We limit her TV watching to a total of 45 minutes a day. Which includes about 10 minutes in the morning while we get ready and in the evening. Any more than that I notice a huge change in her attention span, tolerance, and behavior. If the TV is not on she will play pretend with her trains or pony's, draw, dress up, and a multitude of other things that are better for her development.
Ara and I have been planning her birthday party. I think I am more excited about it than she is every year. I just want to celebrate her milestones and make her feel so special. She has asked for a PinkyPie cake and balloons and a little red bike with a red helmet. Oh and a new Pony. We have already been stockpiling the presents. I am hoping she will receive more clothes, art supplies, puzzles, games, and/or books than toys. But I know the joy of gift giving and I won't begrudge anyone for giving her some toy that will make her eyes light up. I want to make her cake but everyone makes fun of me for that and our oven doesn't work /sigh
I am going to stop typing and try to steal some time for a nap while Ara sleeps.
