18 weeks

So this week was good. Super, super good. I hit ALL my workouts (except for one quick strength training session I plan on logging as soon as I finish writing this post). I started the week with a deep tissue massage and ended yesterday with an awesome brick and a nap, courtesy of my amazing husband. Because we're right in the middle of Advent, it's been challenging to get in long workouts when I'd rather be sitting around the coffee table with my babies, drinking hot chocolate and singing Christmas carols. Instead, I bought them a new movie yesterday (Kung Fu Panda 2) and sat on my trainer in Z4 losing my dang mind. Daniel was supposed to be practicing his Christmas recital songs on the piano, but instead was banging out the rhythm to Jingle Bells on the same note over... and over... and over... And then the two of them were fighting over who needed to hit the pause button on the new movie I just bought them when I asked Daniel to help a mother out by refilling my water and then I really lost my dang mind. But whatever, man. I got in my 130-minute spin and 20-minute run. Which is another story....

A front was blowing in and they didn't want to come with me while I ran. So... I left them at home while I literally ran up and down the street for 20 minutes. I ran by my house every 2 minutes to check on them and everything *seemed* fine. When I got home, Lia was sitting in the floor crying and Daniel was playing the piano as loudly as he could while the credits to Kung Fu Panda 2 played in the background. I hope to high Heaven that when this is all over, they don't remember any of the gnashing of teeth or lost tempers...
