I woke up very early this morning feeling like myself
Thank You GOD!
Today I instituted Chia seeds in my diet.
I put some in my yogurt before my workout and boy did it give me a boost of energy.
I think I like it.
A tip if you try Chia after your done with your meal you must brush your teeth and they swell and have a jelly like consistency which is good for the belly but not in your mouth.
I'm so sore, achy and so very tired.
My Body is begging me for mercy!
I went to bed at 3:45am and at 5:22am my sister woke me up because my nephews had yet another snow day.
That's right...I only slept for about 1½. I got up took some pictures of the snow
It's very pretty...NO?
Made breakfast for the boys, watched some early morning TV
Well, hello there Good Morning America its been a while.
It's so very nice to see you all again.
I finally found time to lock myself away to do my version of meditation
5 to 10mins repeating mantras over and over again, morning and night one of which is...
Please give me the will to exercise each and everyday!
I must say that this mantra seems to be working...For me!
Today I had a little help thank to my 7 year old nephew Matthew
(which made my workout so much fun and easier to get thru today)
He was so willing to do everything because he knew I was so tried and he wanted to help in anyway he could.
I felt that I needed to take the time to really stretch and warm my muscles because
of the soreness and you know that's when you could re injure yourself
and I'm not having that cuz
Ain't Nobody Got Time For That!
We stretched...well, I stretched.
He really tried with every part of his 7 year old body to do all the stretches I was doing which was so cute.
He was supporting his Aunt Cyndi and that felt wonderful.
After about 20 mins of stretching he looked at me and said "now"?
"Now can we do the DVD"? I said "Sure baby I'm ready".
Today I decided to do Kelltlenetics A Kelltle Bell workout
My nephew hung in there with a little wrist weight I gave him to use I used the bell.
He kept up with the DVD and with me he was a little trooper.
I was breathing hard, he was breathing hard we were getting our workout on!
That was until we got to about the 20min mark that's when he turned to me and said "Aunt Cyndi is it almost over?" LOL I said "no baby we have about 10 more minutes or so to go, why"? His reply was "cuz I'm tried"! LOL I said you can stop but told him that I was going to finish. He left the room but, returned moments later with his IPad in hand. He sat down peeking up from his IPad ever so often to check on me.
He stayed with me until I was done.
I know...right...So sweet!!!!!!
After I was done and breathing a bit harder...okay, okay much harder then before he asked "Are you okay Auntie"? I said "yes, baby I'm fine. I'm just out of shape that's all" LOL "Thanks for staying with me until I finished".
He said "that's okay"!
About 10 minutes later he came back in and looked me in my eyes holding his arms as if they had gotten bigger "Auntie I feel good! Do you feel good"?
NOoooooooooooo!!!...No I wasn't
But, I didn't have the heart to tell him how I was really feeling
My reply to him was Oh yes, Matthew (feeling my arms like he was feeling his)
I'm feeling GOOD!
20mins of Stretching...ahhhhhouch
30mins of Kettlenetics...ouch, breath, ouch & ouch
Have the support of a 7 year old...
PRICELESS!!!!! Matthew, thank you so very much for your support. Aunt Cyndi needed an Angel today and my Angel was you!

Well, This is my third try at this over the last two years or so. I start and I get going for a few months and then I stop. I start again reinjure my back my knees and/or whatever else I have injured. I am praying and hoping with my fingers, legs and eyes crossed that this time it takes!

9 Ways Exercise Gets Less Difficult (and More Rewarding) As You Go
Easing back into my Fat Down Dog, forward to Fat Plank, then melting and pushing up to Fat Cobra, etc etc, all the way through my big fat trying to get my yoga flow on. Maybe one day I'll be able to do downplankcobradoglotusflowetc,etc poses
and move through them gracefully and not look and feel like I have no idea what the hell I am doing.
1 hour ✔
Once I arouse from some Fat girl down pose I jumped on the trampoline 30mins ✔
I was feeling good until I got up from sitting for a while woking on the computer Ouch!...okay sore ouch, ouch, ouch but it's all good (I have to keep telling myself that) This soon will pass...right? Yes, yes of course it will
