I'm going to start training 3 times/week, and in addition to that taking long walks.

I'll also try and throw in some swimming in my schedule, since it's nice doing something different in a while.

I made it to the gym today, though my workout was a little lighter than usual. From time to time, I have an issue with plantar fasciitis and my foot is hurting today. But, I'm proud that I made it to the gym anyway.

Have a great day.

DH, DD, and DS all have to work today and felt bad that they won't spend Mother's Day with me. (How do I nicely tell them how much I'm looking forward to a day to myself!) But the kids don't work until this afternoon, so they asked if I wanted to go to an early brunch. A buffet of unlimited foods that I love seems like a disaster waiting to happen at this point. Instead, the three of us are going to the gym together.

If you'd suggested that to me last Mother's Day, I would have had a good laugh. :rofl:

Have a great day everyone and Happy Mother's Day to those who celebrate.

Trolsk 05-08-2011 09:22 AM
