Skipping today went something like this: skip for 30 seconds, trip, toddler (watching on the bed) says whoops, laughs, skip for 40 seconds, toddler climbs down from the safe watching place on the bed and tries to catch the rope shouting hogalogalog (helipcopter) and neenaw neenaw, stop skipping and try to explain patiently to toddler please mind the rope while trying to start skipping as soon as possible because the 4 minutes are ticking by, trip, trip again, skip for 30 seconds, realise toddler has moved behind you and you can't see if you're about to hit him with the rope, trip trying to see, ask daddy to please watch the kids, skip for 60 seconds, think this set must be over soon, trip while trying to sneak a look at the timer, trip, trip, skip for 30 seconds, trip, skip a bit, oh well 3 seconds from the end of set 1.
Sets went better as daddy took toddler to the playground. Baby (watching mummy from his walker) thinks the resistance bands are really funny for some reason. He still gets very angry when I'm doing abs, though. I told him he should try doing them. Incidentally, toddler did the other night. Leg ups are a lot more fun when your nearly two year old is laughing while copying you. He's not so good at lunges though.
New diet is ok. I just feel so physically tired. I guess this means I'm doing the exercises properly but it's tough to keep going through the day without rest.
Great job Patrick, to keep going through everything all that is happening in Japan. Thoughts are with you and everyone there.
Funny about your skips --- I remember the days! It goes by all too fast. I used to hate it when people told me that and now I tell others that! :)
ReplyDeleteSo great that your kids early memories will be filled with a healthy active mom.
