Exercise

I have come to realize that exercising has to be a part of my daily life. It isn't something that I enjoy that much, but I am becoming rather addicted to my treadmill. I'm finding that I would like to run more, but my body won't allow me to do it. It seems everything hurts and so I have to slow down, but I really do like the running part. I'm hoping some day it won't hurt so much. I am going to make an appt to have my lower back checked as it seems to really bother me at times and one would think that walking anywhere from 3-5 miles a day would make it feel better, but it doesn't.

I have such great kids. When I get on the dreaded treadmill, they know that the first 30 min is hard for me and they generally will pick up and keep the baby entertained. When the 2nd 30 min comes around, I put on my Ipod and then know I'm really serious and when I yell, they know I'm not "yelling", but I'm yelling because I can't hear because my Ipod is on. Once I hit that 3 mile mark I tend to ease up, but they tell me, I'm still pretty cranky!

Tonight, Bryce picked up the kitchen and mopped the floor and Bridget swept the hall and Brandon wiped down the hardwood floor. Brock and Bryan emptied the trash cans in the bathrooms and then picked up puppy toys.

I can't thank them enough for all their help and I'm so blessed to have such great kids!
