11.23.2009 -- Wonderful People

I am surrounded by wonderful people. And by "surrounded," I mean literally and "virtually." In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am declaring myself grateful for the people I know.

Also, is it just me, or does Lucy seem to glow in the picture below?

11.21.2009 -- We Are Here

Remember the end of Horton Hears a Who when every Who in Whoville shouts together?

Well, we are here!

I guess I've neglected my blogging because I'm trying to make some major changes around here: changes that require a lot of energy for me. The first posts of this blog were often about exercise. Somewhere along the way, I decided that was boring. Well, it may still be boring, but I think I'll be reverting back to my less rigorous standards for posting. I know, I know. You'd never know it. It's a personal thing.

So today's post is about how sore I am. I am sore pretty much all over, but not so much that it's really hard to move. I worked out with my friend Amy yesterday and at yoga this morning I could definitely tell how much certain parts of me were BLASTED on Friday. So what would have this effect on me?

Treadmill warm-up then,

20 jump squats
20 "down under" pull-ups
20 crossover sit-ups
20 power lunges
20 push-ups
20 sit-ups

times two.

It was a challenge for me. It made me want to throw-up, and that's always a bonus, right? I am seriously doubting the whole Friday/Saturday thing... I'm going to need at least a day to recuperate from strength training before I get through Corena's Infusion on Saturday mornings the way I'm used to.

As I type, Gabe is napping in his crib and Lucy's making me a salad out of playdough. Brian's biking "the bobsled" of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Click here to watch video (not of or by Brian) of the trail and other Utah goodness.
