GOALFRIENDS

sO i STARTED THIS GROUP WITH MY BFF CALLED GOALFRIENDS....Oh much better.  Caps Lock was on.  Anywhoo, yesterday (New Years Eve) I read an article in Success Mag by Tony Robbins. Much to my surprise, I really liked the article and Mr. Robbins, which inspired me to workout again this week.  But, I digress.... Goalfriends is a group of friends, boys and girls, who just encourage and inspire eachother to keep up being healthy and have postive attitudes. So I did P90X, Day 2, Week 2, Plyometrics.  Which is code apparently for Jump Training, and as promised, sufficiently kicked my arse.  In a good way.  Then after going to church with my four children, my husband, and my mom last night to ring in the new year praising Jesus, coming home at 12:30 AM, then watching a film until 2:43 Am (of which after the first 30 minutes I properly fell asleep), I commited to going running with my friend Tabitha and her friend who is now my new friend, Amy at 9:15 this morning, for a full hour, and in 35 degree weather.  

Of course now, I cannot feel my legs as they have been properly frozen and overworked (remember Plyometrics (jump training) yesterday?) yeah.  Maybe not such a great idea, but my body feels great and I can actually feel the extra flesh I have accumulated after the past 7 years of being prego, starting to suck itself back into the ether, as I see it disappearing, but to where I know not.  

And to give you an update of how the Terracotta Army at the High Museum went a few days ago with the four kiddos, honestly, I was pleasantly surprised.  They all did amazing and they were all very well behaved and sweet.  But Jonathan and I are amazing parents, so how could I expect anything less?  Hopefully as they grow, everything we are laboring to teach them about; manners, love, Jesus, fun, the importance of family, will not disappear into the ether with my excess flesh.
