Day #4 My body is begging me for mercy!!!



Duffy ~ Mercy

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!
