Mommy of Many™ Goes to Boot Camp-Day 3…Oh Yeah, and All That Other Stuff Happening in My Life

Aaron is tricky! That’s what I have to say for today’s Kraze Boot Camp class. Hmph! We did our warm-up and were told to run 1 lap around the big circle. 1 lap! Whoo Hoo! We’ve been running 2. But I soon found out why we were only taking 1 lap-soon after we were picking up our hand-weights and running that 2nd lap. Tricky! I’m realizing that I need to show up and not have any expectations, other than I will be leaving with sore body parts.

This morning I had a tough time feeling motivated. I drug my feet on everything. I (conveniently) couldn’t find clothing items I needed and just wanted to climb back into bed. But I told myself that I better pull it together and reminded myself that if I found an excuse not to go that I’d never know what Day 3 felt like and that would make me feel like a quitter. So…dressed I got and to Boot Camp I went. I ran better than the last 2 days (didn’t enjoy it, but I did it) and decided that an hour really isn’t very long (Thank God!). So, I’m now showered, dressed and knee-deep into my day and I’m deciding to think of all the positive things about tomorrow’s class-1)It’s not until tomorrow. 2)It’s the last class for this week. 3)We’ll be working on core and abs (a little scary, but they need it!). 4)I will be able to say that Week 1 of Kraze Boot Camps is over and that I did it. I think this is my favorite reason! I’m feeling competitive with myself! “Hey you, you can do this! You’re gonna stop being so sore and you’re gonna keep getting better at running (ick!). Heck, you’ve already gotten better at jumping jacks!”

When Boot Camp ends, the rest of my busy day begins. I run home to shower and motivate the kiddos out of bed. They have this week at Vacation Bible School (VBS) and it’s already 1/2 way through the week. So far, I think they’re happy to have their mornings full of something to do.

Anna and Maddi have started summer school and they both look adorable in their new uniforms! They haven’t let me snap any pics yet, but I’ll be sly and get a few soon.

Mariah’s been working and everyone’s been enjoying a trip to Cold Stone, here and there.

Kateri’s nannying full-time and continues to join me for Boot Camp each morning. We are motivating each other through the soreness. She says she hasn’t been this sore since her H.S. field hockey days. Wow!

JJ is home and enjoying the games of the World Cup. It’s good to have him here and able to get the boys moving. He’s so good with them!

So we are busy as ever over here. But it’s all Good Stuff!
