I am still working out and I am still looking to lose some weight, but from now on, I will be not only blogging about my thoroughly exciting workout journey, but the rest of my life as well. Working out has to be a part of my every day life, but there is so much more to the average day in the Pitner household.
Take this morning, for instance. It started out as most mornings do....way too early for me. I am lucky that the kids will sometimes keep busy by watching tv or playing games or entertaining Landon until everyone is ready to get up and around for the day. But, today, once we were all up, the first thing the kids asked for is cotton candy. Really? Cotton candy for breakfast? Eeeew. Briar got a cotton candy machine for Christmas and they have been waiting to try it out. I finally took it out last night and said we could try it today. I guess they figured there is no time like breakfast for a bunch of pure sugar. Needless to say, we didn't have cotton candy for breakfast. I have 5 kids in this house....I am not going to fill them up with sugar that early in the morning. I would never survive the day!
The kids did have breakfast (not cotton candy) and now the four big kids went outside to play. Landon took a nap while I put some eggs on to make Egg Salad Sandwiches for lunch. Oh the joys of Lent. Today is Good Friday, which means we have to fast as well as abstain from meat. That isn't so bad, but with the kids around and constantly asking for snacks, it is hard for me to not just grab a bite or two of whatever they are eating. It is funny how many times I catch myself reaching for something that they are eating and not even thinking about what I am doing. And I wonder why I am not losing weight....
So, the kids did end up having cotton candy today. It was really kind of neat to make, but it did make a sugary mess all over the kitchen. They loved it though, so the mess was worth it.
After the busy day of playing and running around, I didn't do an Insanity workout, but I did use the elliptical. It felt great to do because I could tell that I am in much better shape than I was the last time I was on that thing. Tomorrow will be an ab day again. I am looking forward to it.
Day 91....I love my weekends.
