Distractions

Back to Core Synergistics for the start of Week 2.  After having sampled 8 different DVDs over the past week, I have to pick this one as my favorite so far.  Why?  Maybe it's the variety.  Maybe it's the constant workout...just on the fringes of being cardio, but one I can hang in there with and not really get too out of breath.  Maybe it's because it was my first P90X workout.  I'm not sure.  But I do really like it.  My hubby...not really sold on it.  Hee.

This morning, we had an added, unanticipated challenge.  Children.  So far, all of our workouts, except the stretching yesterday, have been conducted either while the kiddos were not home or were not awake.  This morning, we slept in until 6:30.  Big mistake.  Our 6 year old wanted to join us and I said sure...knowing she would self-limit before I'd need to worry about her doing too much.  She hung in for the first 10 minutes or so, meaning the remaining 47 were filled with silliness, questions, talking, playing, and otherwise impacting our ability to focus and keep our game faces on.  Such is the life with an imaginative and energetic 1st grader.  New rule...as long as the kids are home, we are doing early morning workouts, before the house awakes.  Ugh.  Oh yeah, and the 10 year old lounged on the couch (except for a short yoga segment) and made the occasional comments about how we weren't doing it right, or why did we stop when the people on the screen were still going?  Critics!  She also wanted to feel how heavy my weight was (can of beans until the much anticipated resistance bands arrive) and then promptly dropped it on my toe.  Smile, breathe, and remember to focus on the workouts...
