I'm Bored...

Today I got to go back to "work" for a great boot camp time with some of those hard working ladies.  They did a great job and worked hard in that heat!!  While we were there Tyler was "bored"!  Okay so I'm not working but now I'm working with children who are bored and need entertainment please, while you work.  Any suggestions?

The boot camp ladies had a great idea... water guns!!  Think they were hot?  So now we will be checking out what we can do to keep entertained while mom works. 

I will be starting a boot camp at 6:00 p.m. in Hutto on Tuesday's and Thursday's at Ray Elementary.  I plan to start them in August... If you're interested sign up at www.crossfittx.com.  More info on Face Book to come.  At least at that facility there will be a nice playground for the kids to play on.

Other than "entertaining" children... today was a very busy day for mom.  I did get a 20 minute nap in since Brett forgot his swim suit.  I was secretly happy we didn't make it to the pool for that reason.

I had the classes at CrossFit Texas tonight.  Y'all all did a great job!  I was super impressed with how each of you pushed yourselves to the point that some wanted to stop... but you didn't!  You accomplished in 10 minutes or less what others can't do in an hour!!  If you continue to work hard at your goals you will get results... today the result was not receiving a DNF (did not finish).  Tomorrow you may get your first pull-up or hand stand push-up.  Until then... we work hard, we can slow down but we never stop!!  Because then we would be bored and need something to do while we catch our breath.

It's a learning process

Okay... so today was so busy I didn't have time to sit for 5 minutes!!  The day began when I thought I was late for my first date with the kiddo's in the garden.  We had a great time at "Ahah's House" (yep that's me... that's my name for my nieces and nephews).  After our garden guests and some house work, I made lunch, then off to the pool, 24 Day Measurements for the last day of the challenge where Nicole lost 4.75 inches and 2 pounds (she didn't have much to loose in the first place).  Way to go Nicole!!  Keep up the great work!!  Then to Tae Kwon Do and CrossFit Texas for the WOD.  Lauren did a great job coaching tonight!!  Did you know she also hosts a boot camp in Falcon Pointe at 5:30 a.m on Tuesday's and Thursday's?  Ask me more about it if you're interested.

Soon y'all will realize I'm pretty boring... hee hee hee.  Lesson of the day:  I've always heard "you never know who's watching you".  I found myself getting onto my oldest son a lot today... but realized that he was portraying the same attitude I was showing, impatience.  Ouch!!  But it is going to take us time "a learning process" to get down our daily routine as well as our quirks and annoyances.  (NO I'm not calling my kids annoying... they seem to annoy each other more than they annoy me.  Which in and of itself is annoying.)

So when you find others around you acting a certain way... check yourself, then give a gift...  Smile!!  Encourage each other!  You never know who's attitude is just a reflection of the image they see.

First Day "On" The Job

Well... Today was my official first day "on" the job.  It was a busy one! 

It began by sleeping in... well 7:30 a.m. to me is considered sleeping in... not sure about you.  We (yes me and my two boys) headed to the gym around 8:30 a.m. where I had a client who had amazing results on her 24 Day Challenge and now continuing with products she is now down another 8 pounds with her first month at CrossFit Texas!!!  Keep up the great work Becky, you're a rockstar!!!

I then coached the 9:30 a.m. class.  Y'all were awesome and I appreciate everyone being patient with me.  It was nice to meet the new folks as well as hug the necks of others who I hadn't seen in a while.

I then had a second body fat analysis with a dear friend who has lost now 16 pounds since the beginning of her 24 Day Challenge.  We discussed goals and nutrition on the Zone Diet.  Keep up the great work Stacey!

I finished my time at CrossFit Texas with two ladies who I have come to love, adore and push hard to try and get ahead of or at least next to in the daily "Work-out Of the Day" or WOD.  We had a great WOD of 13 pull ups, 25 deadlifts (95 lbs), 25 push-ups, 25 box jumps (20 inch), 25 floor wipers (95 lbs), 25 KB clean and press (25 lb) and 12 pull ups.  All in 5 minutes and 34 seconds!!

Finished the day with a great time at the pool with friends and sun!  Home for a short nap and setting up appointments for tomorrow!!  Ready for the CrossFit Leander WOD in the morning with their Challenge Kick Off afterwards.  The day will finish with an awesome little boy's 4th Birthday Party!!! 

It will be a great Saturday!!!
