Today I really dragged myself to the gym. The last two days my kids were sick, we had doctors appointments, my husband had evening meetings – and well the long and short of it was I didn’t really get in any cardio. So with the lack of cardio and the lack of sleep I was a little tired before I ever got there today. I’ll be honest, I really was looking forward to working out with Aaron today. We had a great workout last week! I really pushed it today, but have to admit I was a little slow and a little whiny. But it was a great workout! The best thing about working with different trainers is you never know what you’re going to do! Most of it was a blur of sweat but one part resonates in my mind. Did you know that they make a ball that looks deceivingly like a basketball only it weighs about twice what my 4 year old weighs? I think it’s called a medicine ball? I’m not sure – ‘cause really there’s nothing medicinal about it! Let’s just say if I ever had to carry my 4 year old on my shoulder and run up the stairs, around the track, and back down the stairs again – I could do it. Did it at least 5 times? It was fun and again I left exhausted. I think that was the plan all along.
