I usually wake up, do Bible Study, stagger into the kitchen and make the fabled "breakfast" that my children must have, and THEN...the older 3 begin school, Arielle and Nolan clean up the kitchen and Zander plays with Stacia...*I* go work out...either a bike ride or lately a video.
This a.m. I woke up with so much extra time that I decided to work out before breakfast. Zander and Stacia are the first ones up. Well...NO...Jamin is up writing but his writing time is sacred.
Against my better judgement I let Zander in to the room where I was "werking". He watched. Carefully. Then Stacia was pounding on the door. I let her in. She must be in the middle of things. I was avoiding her, still not babying my should so not doing arm movements, trying desperately not to step on Stacia instead of the step...you get the picture.
Zander cheered me on with encouraging comments such as, "Alright MOM - do the arms like this" and "Mom they are better than you are!"
I quit at 30 minutes today....I think I deserve some sort of credit for surviving that long with my audience. ::snort::

Well done!
My gorgeous, slim 15 year old daughter made me do an exercise video with her the other day, which was fine, until I accidentally caught sight of myself in the mirror. The comparison was quite horrifying!
Note to self, cover the mirror next time.
This is why I have a goal to get our play room set up in a way that I can use it to work out as well. The only areas that have enough floor space for exercise are in common areas, and I don't do so good trying to relax into yoga poses (or now use the dance mat) with a 1 yo dog and a 9 yo kid thinking that they need to be right in the middle and on top of me. Maybe someone needs to create a video that incoprorates the kids and dogs as weights or props, or the running and dodging as part of the routine. :)
LOL - you two so GET my pain! LOL
I think I should figure out how to get Stacia and Zander IN the workout...but I'm oxygen deprived while working out and can think about nothing other than getting my feet on the step in the proper combination. ::snort::
You get the "You're Doing Great and you didn't step on the children or give one a black eye because your did your arms like this" award!! LOL! Way to go!!
