My poor right arm
I’m curious to see how my arm feels tomorrow. Today was spent working on projects to get our house ready to put on the market. It’s almost 9 pm and I’m just sitting down for the first time. My poor hubby, though, has worked 3 hours longer than I have. I left at 9 am to take the kids to my parents’ house but since they live an hour away the round trip was 3 hours. (The extra hour not driving was spent unloading the van, going over schedules and just chatting, just in case you were confused.)
The reason my right arm might protest tomorrow is one of my tasks was to paint our bathroom ceilings. I don’t generally mind painting but I have never painted a ceiling before. Ouch.
OK, somehow I just deleted about half of what I wrote. Basically, the time I spent painting I’m counting toward my stars b/c my arm burned worse than it generally does when I’m lifting weights, and I was soaked w/sweat when I was done. I also did pilates when I woke up this morning (I know, what was I thinking????) for a total of 2 hours and 10 minutes. Too bad we can’t earn 1/6th of a star
Food has been good today and I’m really proud of this b/c my schedule wasn’t normal. Plus, I ran to get fast food TWICE for my hubby today and didn’t partake. Normally I would never condone fast food twice in one day but he worked his butt off sanding, stripping and restaining our windowframes. He earned those onion rings.
Tomorrow it’s more of the same, depending on how Kyle’s fever does. He spiked one tonight at my parents’ but the tylenol/motrin rotation is taking care of it. There are 2 main tasks we hope to accomplish before I have to get the kids and if we get them done early enough we’re going out to lunch.
Progress toward workout goal: 14/300
On-plan food points earned: 40
My mother in law lives an hour away, so I know what a trip like that is like. We hate to go because she lives on a mountain, way back away from civilized folk,lol.
Painting is defiantly a workout, especially ceilings. It will be okay after a day or so.
I am sorry Kyle is sick, I hope it is nothing serious.
wow lots of great exercise! Holding my up arm up in the air alone is a workout. To be painting a ceiling is tough.
wow! You and DH are doing a ton of work. It will all be worth it when you are finished though. Painting a ceiling is hard on the neck as well. Good job and doing a workout along with all of the housework!
Ceilings are a total pain in the neck! Killers!
