Day off!

Scheduled rest day! Rest and recreation, right? Not running around after two kids, though I'm glad I pencilled in a day off in the middle of the week so I can devote more time to them. We've been swimming, done craft, baking (ugh!!) and right now I'm letting them watch ABC Kids.

I've spent the day catching up on all sorts of bits and pieces and have been working on the website, trying to convey my vision without sounding like I have verbal diarrhoea. It's a real gift to be succinct and meaningful at the same time.

Fitting it in!

This morning I did most of Cathe's Cardio Fusion DVD before Miss G's swimming lesson. Miss G has been "out of sorts" all day. We invited her little friend around for a play - Miss G was rather excited, but she showed that she was truly not 100% when she organized toys for her little mate and jumped into bed and fell asleep. So I had to pop her little friend home whilst she was asleep. Luckily she only lives about 4 doors away from us and I was able to drop her off and come back home relatively quickly. I am just relieved that she didn't wake up!

Sometimes it is hard to juggle in time for fitness with motherhood, but staying relatively fit makes me a much happier mother, so it is worth the effort. I am definitely fitter, faster and stronger since I had both children - I don't know why this is, but maybe that we just have to have this desire to put in our best and then some or whether there is a physiological component to it as well. I am definitely more body aware, but that is probably due to my wacky hip joints - I'm always trying to push the fine line, but know where my limits are with my joints.
