Today was a bit hectic. Lucy had a sleepover and Mitch had to be to work by 8am. Plus I had promised Lucy that I would take her into town for the community festival. So, I had a plan and here's how it went:
This morning while Lucy and her friend rode bikes and played tea party I did a mini Kettle Bell circuit and some push ups:
15 kettle swings on each arm
15 kettle swing and press on each arm
15 push ups on ball
1 minute of "steps" - I do them on the curb
Repeat above 3 times
Then 5 kettle bell snatches on each arm with a 15 second rest, repeat for a total of 5 minutes. I like doing this because it gets my heart rate up to about 80-85% without going over. Plus it makes me feel kinda kick-ass.
Lucy, her friend and I then went to breakfast at the local diner to celebrate Lucy's 5 1/2 birthday. I got egg whites with spinach and tomatoes and a bit of feta. And a few bites of 1/2 birthday pancake.
Then we took our walk into town. I took the jogger in case Lucy got tired which she seemed to be right from the start! Our walk in is mostly uphill so I eventually convinced her that she needed to walk a bit by helping her find dandelion to blow for wishes. We hung out in town and then made our way back. I think I walked about 4.5 miles total. Not fast but still it got me out and moving.
Now she's asleep and I can write for a bit and enjoy my peanut butter sandwich.
