The 4th of July

I'm so behind!

Finally my 4th of July photos.

We spent the 4th weekend with Rob's family at their cottage.

It was fun.

The 4th was a little chilly but the 5th was FINE!

These 2 are busy just like last year!

Head to the sand BOYS

I love this kid!

Notice the polar fleece and sweatshirt- Is it really JULY?

Exercise UPDATE

I just noticed I joined my SELF Challenge July 6th and have done nothing till this past Saturday.

I think part of my problem is that there is always something else to do so I skip the workout till night and then I'm tired!

SO Saturday I decided to start reading Family Manager and I was inspired to do some rethinking of my PROBLEM with working out. I love Kathy Peel!

What I did- I got out all my DVDs that I actually don't HATE doing and I did as much as I could handle if I did them everyday (which I would never do). I don't know why I figure stuff like that way but I do.

So because I workout in my basement I decided to do laundry in between my DVDs.

So here's what I came up - I can do:

My Step DVD

My Ab DVD

(picture too bad to post)LOL

My Cindy Crawford DVD

2 Loads of laundry

Catch up on NEWs

(because I know my DVDs so well I can watch the news as I'm doing them- although sometimes you really have to concentrate when doing your moves or weights.) I use a little DVD player for the exercise DVDs and watch the news on my big TV.

in 1 Hour 40 Minutes

I like !

BUT after I did it I was disgusted- WHY- because there is no way I can do it again! It was hard and there will always seems to be something that comes up and I can't do it. Why get my hopes up?

SO then I said to myself - I deserve to give myself 2 hours a day-

Really?- that seems so selfish.

BUT I did do 2 loads of laundry............and if I feel better and I am more quick to get up and do things with my family..........is it that selfish? I need to do it and so I did it Sunday and today as well.

I'm happy- but when I run out of laundry I'll feel bad doing it. LOL
