My Bum!

Was able to get a three workouts in this week and I feel pretty good about that. I made myself get on the bike...I'm not fond of the stationary bike. Bet you couldn't tell. :) However I think it went good. I'm working on my cardio/endurance issue and have found that another one has cropped up. It's my tush. Funny how it's sore from sitting on that bike seat for a while. I definately need to get my butt on that bike more often! Got to get those calluses built up. :)

It's for a great cause! What easier way to donate then to come and listen to some music? There will be a seisun at the end if anyone would like to jump in and play!

Catching Up News....

I haven't made it to the gym as much as I would like to. However, I'm glad I live in the mid-west. With all the snow, sledding is a must and what better way to burn some cals! Especially when hauling a 30 pounder uphill everytime he says "again". :) That's not to mention the preschooler that tends to hitch a ride. I know that workouts can get boring and if you aren't having fun then you won't stick with them, but I have no problem sticking with this rountine. It's a blast! I'm happy to report that I am now only 10 pounds for where I was pre-children! I can hardly believe it. That means during the month of Janurary I actually lost 9 lbs. Yeah! Turst me...go sledding! I don't think I can attribute it to anything else.

That's not to say that I haven't completely used the membership that I just purchased. I have been getting in some laps in the pool. It's quite refreshing. I also, finally, pedaled a bike. I know, I haven't done it in about 4 months...Ugh. (This is a bike tour I sighed up for right?) I can tell that it has been a while. Although I was proud of myself for keeping a steady pace for 20 minutes. Now I just have to keep adding on to that. Riding indoors isn't my favorite so when the snow melts it'll be good to hit the road. Until then I'll just keep trying to boost my cardio and endurance.

Fundraising has gone better than I expected! I'm happy to report that our team, 1st Century Riders, is almost at it's goal of $1500. Isn't that great?! My partner in crime has a really cool fundraising idea that will put it over the top. Kudos F2F. You're awesome! Just because we are close to our goal doesn't mean we want to stop fundraising. The more the better. These kids are worth it! Just click on the donation link on this page to give your pledge. Thanks to all who have helped us...we really appreciate your help!
