I've been house sitting for my parents and they have the world's worst internet. It may as well be dial-up. Since being out here is a lot more fun than being at home, there hasn't been much working out. yay. I did about 60 jumping jacks yesterday, and 4 this morning, but that's about all. There has been a ton of exploring in the rainy forest and lots of wet yard work. Getting all the sheet mulch spread out in the orchard in the rain is actually kind of nice. It gives me a taste of what it is like to have my family in a house with a yard and garden and orchard and dogs that all need to be taken care of. I imagine myself doing the morning rounds, letting out my dream chickens and dream goats, checking the garden, feeding my brood. Right now is movie time, I have laundry to fold. But I just love the kids sitting in their big chairs with their blankies and the Man Child with his Monkey. So, I'm going to fold laundry and watch bug's life with my babies. because this is what rainy days are truly for.




ps- I love you.

1 Week of "Fitness" and 6 Days of Photos

Well, first off it feels as though I've gained weight. awesome. but whatevs, the kids like doing the jumping jacks. So one of the things on the little work out plan I've been using is that you cannot move onto the next day till you've mastered the first. So, I'll be repeating today's new set tomorrow. poop. Now that the sets are now longer just jumping jacks and crunches, I'm starting to remember why I hate working out this way. But as for now, I'ma stick with it and see what happens. By the way, here is the link to my fit log.

There have, however, been many outdoor activities this past week. We went to the dunes, and the MacKerricker board walk and the Caspar Headlands. Just getting out doors with the kids helps me feel more active and eager to get in shape. Doing jumping jacks in the morning helps motivate me because if I'm going to bouncing around like these girls need harnessing! lol. And then it sort of snowballs... if I'm already wearing a bra, I might as well put jeans on, and since I'm dressed we may as well go somewhere and if we're going somewhere we should probably walk... It's the little things...

I saw this cool little link and thought it had a nice idea to help live more aware of what is going on around you by taking 1 picture a day for 30 days. I decided to share mine so that I wouldn't forget. So far, it has been interesting. I think at the end of the month I'll put them together and make a story or something.

I'm inspired by this year. This is the year of change and excitement. Don't you feel it?
