Workout Wednesday – Happy Birthday J

How awful that I am rolling two posts into one!  But the truth is I am barely squeaking this by. I am exhausted and running on empty, but I can’t let today pass without acknowledging my son’s 7th Birthday and offering up a challenge.

Birthday Boy

Seven years ago I was weeping with Joy because this little guy came into my life.  I still relish the days we spend together and try not to suffer the days when he is gone from me at school.  He is half of my team where I am the coach, he is my everything.  What I wouldn’t do for this little guy.  I love you J.

And not to shrug my new dedication to Workout Wednesdays, I have to say that this week was a good slap in the face.  Last night at an event a lady approached me to offer her Doula services. Needless to say I am not pregnant and it took all I had in me not to scream at her, but it was certainly the slap I needed to wake up my abs and get them into shape.

So, this week I am offering up a challenge should you wish to join me.  In addition to my running, I am going to do a set of  hundreds each day.  Hundreds is a Pilates move that works out your abs and if I wasn’t already in my pj’s I would show them to you, but check out “hundreds pilates” on the web and you will find some great suggestions.  Will you join me?

**disclaimer: I am in no way a Doctor or Physical Trainer. I am going to share with you my thoughts and ideas about how to get into shape again. I strongly advise consulting a medical professional prior to starting any workout routine as well as a professional trainer. I am in no way responsible for any injury you may sustain from trying any of my suggestions.

    #doulaFAIL. Seriously. Unless you’ve gained 40 pounds since I saw you at the foodbank tweet up in the spring there is NO WAY you look close to pregnant. But good for you for not screaming at her. Don’t know that I would’ve had the same restraint 🙂

    Not up for “hundreds pilates” yet but I did run tonight!

    OK, I’ll do it. Really tough to come up with an excuse not to, and maybe this will make me more accountable. Off I go.

    Yay! Happy Birthday J man! Hope you had an awesome day!

    And I’m starting to slowly work my way into moving more, and I think I might die with the 100’s. But we’ll see 🙂

    First, happy birthday wishes! Second, OMG! You do not look like you are pregnant. Third, I will get back to you on the hundreds. It’s been a long time since I have done that and have to see if I can remember. 🙂

    I don’t think I can do hundreds…but I can do some sort of work out routine…my abs would die!

    I do a weekly Pilates class and I love hundred! There are almost a hundred different ways to do it too.

    And J is 7!! Happy Birthday to your boy!
