And on that note...honestly my picture, measurements, and weight gave me the frustration and motivation I will need to "Dig Deep" over the next 60 days!!! But I will try to remember...
Many of you wives & Mommas know that training is always more fun with your hubby, but it is hard to do with two lil kids. So this is how we do it; I called my Mom & asked her to take the boys from 4pm-6pm, thankfully she said YES! We dropped our SUV off at the pool w/ bike rack & gear. Then we dropped the boys off. We came home & jumped on the bikes!!! My parents were nice enough to drop our boys to us at the pool. BAM! Couldn't do it without them!!
The 20mile ride was fantastic!!! We were also joined by my cousin (Ray) and his daughter (Brittany). It was such a beautiful ride!!
We were running late to the pool, I dropped my gear (thanks to my amazing hubby) & jumped in the pool with 2 of my Desert Tri Girls (DTGs)!! Put in a 25min swim...cut short due to some cramping. (A reminder to hydrate more...)
While I was swimming, my hubby kept B entertained at the splash pad. J is a great swimmer, he has been on competitive swim team since he was 4, so he did laps w/ us!!! When I was done, my hubby jumped in & did his lap time! It was a total family event!!! Did we come home late? Yes! But we all showered, ate dinner (which I premade) and the boys were in bed by 8:30pm. I call that success!!!
And my reality of Day One is that I could NOT do this without my AMAZING support system!!! (Thank you Sharon Silvas, for this post today!)
By happenstance, J and I started a journal together tonight (Thanks to Pinterest!! http://www.mamajennblogs.com/2010/11/mama-me-journal.html?m=1 ) It's been in the works for some time, but today I put it on his pillow! He was so excited! Which filled my heart w/ pure joy!!! I can't wait to see what this lil book gives us!!!
Oh my, I am so excited that you've entered the fantastic world of blogging! You're such an inspiration, and you should write about it! I've found blogging as a fun way to "journal" what's up in life -- started doing it when I moved to Tucson 4 years ago!
