I have been so super crazy since school started back for my kids. I have kids doing things 3 nights a week. It’s very important for me for my kids to be active. I don’t want them to grow up sedentary and I’d love for them to find a love for a sport or active lifestyle. My girls take Irish dance and believe me if you’ve never seen it that is quite the workout. I am actually taking adult classes this year. It’s been kind of fun for this two left feet kind of girl. Five of my six kids are taking swimming classes. None of them can swim well and I put that off entirely too long. And then four are taking gymnastics. Yes, I am crazy! I have also been having to go up to my teenager’s school at lunch time to stand over Mr. Irresponsible (one of my diabetic children) and make sure he is actually checking his blood sugar and counting the carbohydrates in his lunch and calculating his insulin dosage correctly. Him and I got in a huge fight after seeing his numbers in the 500-600 range. (They should be between 80-120.) He was going days on end without even checking his blood sugar. That and doing things like trying to double up his insulin so he could skip a dose. Just plain stupid. He’s still being quite the jerk to be around. I am not real happy with him anyhow.
Now, as for me. I got in a decent workout today. I won’t say great, but okay. I have been hit and miss with my running and I can tell it. I ran for 2 miles and walked half a mile. I am going to try and get in a second run today if I can or I may just walk this evening. I got a couple new fitness dvds in too that I want to try. I’ll be saving those for next week. I am hoping to blog every day next week and hopefully that’ll get me back in a rhythm again. Sorry I’ve been such the slacker.
