Happy Monday!

It may be a happy Monday, but its definitely not a sunny one. It was very hard to motivate to get out of bed this morning... considering I was woken up by a 95lb chocolate lab jumping on the bed at 7:30. I was hoping to get a workout in before breakfast, but I was too hungry so my oatmeal was priority. 

Then, in keeping with trying new things, I've been working on Shape Magazine's "Fit in a Flash" workout. Its 24 minutes of 4 moves repeated 6x. Its quick and pretty effective, so I'll do it a few more times this week. I paired this workout with hill runs.  My dad lives in a hilly area, so I picked the biggest hill and ran it 3x. The whole workout was about an hour. 

After that, it was my first day on the job as a babysitter. I've not been around a teeny tiny baby in such a long time and I cannot tell you when I last changed a diaper. I was a little unsure of my skills, but I guess changing diapers is like riding a bike? I picked it back up pretty quickly. 

Besides that, its been a nondescript Monday. I think I'll finish out the day with the boy and some playoff basketball. I'm also trying to read a few more chapters of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". It was a recommendation from a friend and I definitely suggest you read it... very interesting and captivating non-fiction.

Until next time!
