Took Katrina swimming last night just to play around. Tonight it’s back to the classes.

 

Visited Dollar Tree and Dollar General yesterday just to browse. Ended up buying Katrina a few odds and ends – a Spirograph, some more playing cards (Old Maid), a few crayons and boxes to put them in, and also bough myself several workout dvds that were a dollar a piece.  Most of them are Jillian Micheals but one of them is Tae Bo.  Tried Killer Cardio DVD today and only got about 8 minutes in before I had to quit since my body isn’t ready for this… I will likely do these tapes and some others going forward more.

 

During swim lessons Katrina was taken care of by the Life Guard instructing her, so I got in the pool and used some water weights to do some curls and other arm exercises the entire time the class was going on for the most part. That’s a great way to use time.  Kinda crazy that she’s getting far enough with the lessons that I’m willing to trust her to listen to the lifeguards, etc. when they are focused on the other children. I do keep an eye on her from afar, but don’t feel like I have to hover over her getting no further away than 3 feet as I used to a long while not so far back in time…

Soon and very soon I plan to start focusing more on cutting back on excess caffeine and sugar.  This is a very hard thing to do, but it’s something I really need to do for many different reasons…  Tired of all of the roadblocks, hurdles, and mental issues I create for myself in this quest.

Walked a mile at Rolling Hills Park today, with my daughter on my shoulders half of the way.  Really humid out today.  Looks like it could rain.

‘Merlin’ the Magician and his Dragon are still hanging out in the Mystic Isles above the park… (Kite of Magician and Dragon has been stuck up there quite a few days now.  I think a limb got wedged between the plastic sticks and the main body of the kite, so it’s stuck on there pretty good.)

Over the weekend we went to Worlds of Fun. That was a blast.

Also, mowed this weekend.  Swim lessons resume this week.  I also plan to make it a point to try to go to the YMCA on days when we aren’t in swim lessons.

Also got up early this morning in hopes of doing at least a small workout before work, after I do some dishes this morning.  Plan to do so the rest of the week to if possible.

Edit: after doing the dishes I did a 10 minute cardio workout. I think it was a 10 minute trainer video I found from some youtube channel many years ago.  Good little workout with not a lot of time…

I have a lot of my saved video workouts separated out by how long they are.  This way when I want to do something like this when I don’t have a lot of time I can just pick something random in the folder for however many minutes I have.
