A new favorite thing
I woke up this morning on my own and was shocked to see that it was 6:20. I knew that Kyle would be up soon so I decided to savor the time by myself and threw in the yoga/pilates DVD. It was still dark, so instead of turning on the lights I plugged in the Christmas tree. It was so peaceful to exercise by the glow of the tree, I’ll have to remember this for future days and years.
Our Christmas celebrations start today and it should be fun. We’re going to my MIL’s and the boys will cash in which will be nice b/c it’s freezing here. The actual temperature this morning was -11 and with the wind chill it’s -30 or so. Kind of hard to send Justin outside to play and he’s getting stir crazy inside. If I play another round of UNO or Go Fish I think I’m going to crack. But he’s learning to be a good loser b/c I don’t let him win and I do enjoy playing those games.
In addition to the pilates I had time to do a weights DVD and I always forget what a toughie this one is. It’s called “Burn and Firm Pilates” and it’s by Crunch. I should make sure to work this one in at least once a week, my arms will be buff in no time.
Got to go get ready for Christmas! And I think that another round of UNO is in my future.
Progress toward workout goal: 134/250

My DS was driving us crazy with Uno, Connect four, and domino’s. Now that my eldest DS is home we can delegate some big brother time towards games. LOL
Good idea working out next to the calm , pretty, nice light of the tree. I like that and if you do not mind and going to use that idea.
I know what you mean. It is so freaking cold here as well. Today we are warming up to 17*F!! Woooeee break out the shorts! LOL
Take care and have a wonderful Christmas!
