Skating work out!

I'm in the same boat as Judy....last Holiday rush at school! Everyone is having parties, food, snacks like a mountain of sugar in the teachers lounge. Good thing I'm not to attracted to pure sugar...but there was some homemade blueberry pie with homemade crust that kept calling my name. I did resist! However with all this go-go and no sleep....I finally succumbed to my usual bronchitis and no voice! It got worse today...i literally had to whisper! Actually the cold part/stuffy nose has run it's course and now I just sound bad! I did promise my 3rd grader-daughter this morning that since I was done with my lessons that I would go on their skating field trip. Unbelievable! Last year I went and skated 3 times slowly around the rink and about died of shin splits! Today....I kept skating and kept skating, for 2 hours! I even did the limbo...which would have ended up in the hospital last year! It was fun and I could tell that my daughter was so proud and having fun. Other moms just sat on the edge...like I did last year! that's the biggest factor for me...keeping up with my family so I can enjoy these moments that will never come again.

I hope to get to the gym more next week with some time off from school.

I've also found that I kind of like the splenda in my coffee and some times just "fat-free' cream is good enough! Hold on to your will-power ladies...its gonna get tougher this week! You can do it!

I do my assessment tomorrow....wish me luck!
