Manic Monday

I thought I was doing myself a favor by scheduling the house cleaners for 1st thing Monday morning.....hindsight, not my best decision.  After a very busy weekend, the kids were off to a slow start and I spent most of the early morning following behind them, nagging them to get going. Half way through drop offs I realize I didn't leave the door unlocked for the cleaners and now my truck is on the brink of overheating!  Really?!  My father-in-law was kind enough to come over and let the cleaners in.  This allowed me the time to pull over and let my truck cool down every so often so that I could get the rest of the kids to school.  Best part of the morning was when Shealyn jumped out of the truck with a huge smile on her little face.  Not one tear today!  My heart swelled and I realized my morning issues were not as dire as I initially thought.  Keith walked me through checking and filling my antifreeze, which should hold me over for the rest of the day until he gets home tonight to fix it.  Must say I looked cute working on my truck using Shealyn's little princess stool!

I refused to blow off my workout due to a little truck trouble.  Especially since I didn't go this weekend.  Off to the gym I went for my workout.  (Thankful that this mornings antics kept my mind busy and I didn't dwell on the fact that it was yet another perfect day for running.)  I had a great workout and even increased some of my weights already.  Nothing crazy, I just knew I was ready to push it a little bit.  My workout looked like this today:

     3.1 miles on the Elliptical
     1 mile on the Upper Body Bike
    (3) 12 Leg Presses
    (3) 12 Leg Extensions
    (3) 12 Leg Curls
    (3) 12 Inner Thigh Machine
    (3) 12 Outer Thigh Machine
    (4) 25 Crunches
    (3) 12 Side Bends Each Side

After the gym I stopped at the farm stand for some fresh veggies, picked up Colin at school and just made us a couple fantastic salads.  My day may have started out a little rocky, but once I took control back and focused on what was important,  it improved.  I'm off to head outside with Colin so he can ride his bike and I can enjoy this gorgeous day!  17 days until surgery.....

Happy Monday!
