May i start this post saying i had a wonderful time at Zumba last night...all-by-myself. I know it doesn't sound like an accomplishment but trust me it kinda is. I am not very independent when it comes to working out! It has been the trend that if my side kick, Aunt Gaye, doesn't go...Neither will i. But after yesterdays post i felt like i would be letting myself down, and i would have no one to blame for feeling like a fatty! I wish i was surrounded by more people that were, or want to be, as involved in health and fitness as i would like to be. To have a gym partner would be a god send and would definitely help with motivation. Sadly anyone willing has a more complex schedule and cant really swing it, or is harder to motivate that i am. Eh, suppose i'm on my own for this feat. Ok, i'm done boring you with my whining about fitness and weight loss....
As we move into the long Labor Day weekend i am running around like a crazy person making sure all is in place so i can, hypothetically, do nothing but enjoy the time with family, especially my boys. My day began at the wee hour of 6:30 AM to a hungry toddler. This is nothing new in this house hold, Devon often wakes with nothing but food on his mind. The past 2 days, however, he will no sooner finish whatever i have prepared for him and hes "huuungry" again. lol. So with my day consisting of house work, feeding my hungry boy and making sure he makes his hourly trips to the potty i have a feeling i will be in NO mood for a gym trip...but i will attempt to talk my self into it and hopefully strap on my sneeks and head out the door at 8 pm tonight.
Our weekend is going to be busy and full of camping and picnics, always a good thing...as long as the weather holds out. Going to Pinchot Park with Moms in law and Aunt Susan and Rob tomorrow for some campin, always a fun time with GREAT food! Unfortunately not always the healthiest. Everything in moderation Right!? Right! There is luckily more opportunities to so some type of exercise while camping so im not THAT worried about it. Then our family picnic on Monday at Aunt Gaye's house. Grilled food, hopefully volley ball and im sure some chasing Devon around on his tractor...another good day. :o)
I had an awesome project development yesterday!! My mother in law got me an interesting book about making soap (woo i know, doesn't sound interesting at all but humor me) so i did some research on prices of supplies and how difficult it would be to start a "spa line" for my store in time for Christmas. I put in a basic order with some items in mind to experiment with. Yesterday i started to play with my new toys and WHALAA! i made the most awesome exfoliating creme soaps that can be used for shaving, a gentile facial scrub or just a general body exfoliant. I made 2 so far, one is a Violet Peppermint Sugar Scrub with Coco Butter and the other i made for my Hubster, a Cinnamon and Sugar Coffee Cake Scrub. He approved :o) I have about 20 scents i can play with and i'm too excited to make more, hopefully a good addition to the ol' store.
