Well... I got two days of good exercise in a row in... I went to the Y on Monday, and then I went again on Tuesday. Tuesday I got a good workout on the elliptical, and then worked on building back up to running on the treadmill. I did 20 minutes of intervals and was feeling much better after it than I did on Monday! :)

I am sore though... the muscles are definitly protesting, but I just have to get through this initial first two weeks and then the day to day soreness is much less and I'm just sore if I really max out the muscles with weights.

Today will have to be a DVD at home though. Alyssa woke up in the middle of the night with a yucky cough, and a fever. The fever is gone this morning, but she still sounds pretty bad- so she'll be staying home from school today, and we'll be staying home from the Y this morning.

I'm really trying not to let the little voice in my head get me discouraged. It's saying "again... just as I'm getting into a routine someone gets sick and interrupts it- why do I try..." I'm ignoring it... what happens, happens and if I can't get to the Y because of a legitimate reason (kids are sick) it is not me failing at keeping my goal of exerciseing. I'll just have to make a bigger effort to get some exercise in at home on these days.
