I think I should rename my blog..."the crazy life of Brenda". You may or may not have noticed I kind of stopped posting the "I Count" segment the past 6 weeks or so. After my car accident in November my exercising stopped. I was too sore physically and too emotionally bruised to think about getting off my "pockets" and working out. I cried the first week, and have felt a myriad of feelings for 2 more weeks after that. While I am still afraid to drive much I am feeling better on many levels. I was pretty good about watching what I was eating and FINALLY dropped about 5 pounds but I haven't been on the scale since Santa left such yummy treats in my stocking so who knows whether or not those 5 pounds came back on. I am relieved to see that I can lose weight...I was beginning to wonder. :)
I have many things happening this month...fun things and hard things. Spencer burned his hand on a flat iron and needs daily changing of the bandages (a story for a different post) and I am in charge of 3 Activity Days for the 8-11 year old girls in our LDS ward. We are holding a recognition dinner as one of the activities so there is much to prepare for but I am not going to let myself get out of my exercises. I feel so much better when I do them and now Brenley is jumping in on the fun and joining me in the morning for some cardio and stretches. I am excited about having her be part of this with me. It is more fun than doing it alone. :)
Brenley is also a great inspiration. She started Karate recently and yesterday as I watched her during her class I was so impressed by her desire to get it right, taking it seriously and giving it 100%! She did an awesome 100 jumping jacks and that was just in the first 5 minutes of class.
What can I say...my girl knows how to kick it up! ;)
With this new year I am excited to start fresh, stop making excuses and push on towards a better me!
