project 365...day 9..

baby day! yippee yi yo!!! my nephew, todd (who calls me on it if i don't update my blog DAILY! :))and his dear wife, colleen welcomed sweet emily to the world today at 2:18 pm! she is beautiful!! once i get the go-ahead from them, i will post pictures. in light of the tragic events of this week here in lynden, she is a breath of fresh air. even in the midst of hurt and death, there is still a promise of new life. it's true, 'the Lord gives and the Lord takes away'. in all of it, He's still good. we are so glad that you are part of our family emily. i haven't even met you and i love you already.
ok, i did the Jillian video as promised. someone PLEASE tell me that it's NORMAL that i can't bend down to tie my shoes OR carry my dirty laundry(darn)OR be able to lift my arm while washing my hair OR hoofing it up the stairs at record speeds...and PLEASE tell me tomorrow will be better! i'm not asking to be a marathon runner or even make it thru ONE morning of Bootcamp at Homestead but honestly, i WANT to stick with this. in my heart (or la-la land) i'm an athlete! (STOP laughing).what am i missing??? please tell me, what's the secret to sticking with it?
share.
please share.
because if tomorrow morning, i struggle getting out of my chair, i just may throw in the 'i'm getting a smaller butt this year' towel. after all, i'm getting old anyway, in the big scheme of life, does it matter? my hub loves me. i love me.
yup,there's always next year.....

Accountablilty! Find someone to call you a few times and week & ask you how you're doing. It's amazing it will motivate you. Keep with it! You can do it!! :)

RIGHT there with you on the soreness factor! Got my tush handed to me in the power pump class Sat. morning. Am signing up for more "torture" every afternoon. Sheesh, we'd BETTER be getting smaller tushes out of this crazyness :)

OWWWW!

p.s. congrats on your great-niece :)

yes...hurting everywhere is normal. I still have days after bootcamp that I hurt everywhere. Yes, you may still hurt the next day but it will get better. When you hurt everywhere...it means you worked hard & your body is changing. After years of bootcamp I will tell you this...when I do a Jillian workout I feel like I am 300 pounds and have never worked out a day inn my life...she totally kicks my butt. Which I love her & hate her for all at the same time. I grunt, grown & yell at the t.v. So, she is tough & so are you for making it through her workout. You can do it. Of course, I think your butt is just perfect, but now that I know you want to keep motivated I am going to hold you accountable. You may hate me...but you will love me in the end!! Love you friend. If you do not respond in a timely manner to this post I will assume you have rolled your eyes & crossed me off your list of dear friends. Love youuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!
