Dear Monday, I hate you. That is all

Generally, I don't really hate Mondays. I don't necessarily like them, I have just accepted that they will be. Today, I hate Monday. I didn't want to get up to work out. At 4:30 am. I got a late start which threw me off. I didn't shave off any time, however, for having not worked out since Wednesday, I didn't gain any time either. The ab challenge is going to have to be done tonight or tomorrow. I am not ashamed to say I just didn't have it in me!!! I didn't get to sleep until after 1 am. So, I am about to take a little nap before I have to get CJ up and ready for school. I really just wanted to make sure I got at least this in my blog today. It is going to be a crazy two days at work. I have to complete a job that takes 20 minutes per item. NOT looking forward to that at all. I do have some other things I will be doing while the job is in the laser engraver. But I should have all that done before the day is through. OK, off for a nap and then to update tonight on the crafty part of this. :-)

EDIT:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Here is a photo of what the 2 Week Ab Challenge entails. I think what I am going to do is time myself and just try to shave off some time. Then the next challenge do an arm and upper body one. THEN do the Ab Challenge again only this time try adding some more reps instead of shaving time. Eh, we will see.

The girl's tumblr site, as you can see, is on the bottom of the picture. I highly recommend you check out her page!!!

Back to the Grind tomorrow evening

So, this is our last full day at Jennifer and Robert's. I love them and their girls like they were my own family. Our story another time. So, I'm wasting time being very productive going through Pinterest. Finding lots of cool crafts, recipes. I even started a Wedding board. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm muy loco!!! But, there are so many things on there and I do have a daughter who is 18 and will get married someday. I may start doing a binder. OK, anyway, I saw this one pin come up and thought, hey, I could do this! You see, I am trying to add some interesting things to my workouts. So, I came up on this and thought, hey, a 14-Day Ab Challenge? Why, yes, Challenge accepted! Here is the link to the pin on Pinterest: 14-Day Ab Challenge. Here is the link to the original web page this came from: PiecesInProgress. I do plan on going through her whole Tumblr page (I haven't done tumblr YET!!!) just to see what I can see and if I can get even more great challenges! With doing just walking, I haven't really used my exercise notebook lately. BUT I really do need to amp it up a bit. So, I thought, why not use this ab challenge as a way to do just that!!!! I will definitely do it AFTER the power walking. I may do some before bedtime as well.
I really do  love exercising...............after a while. When I am first getting back to it, however, it isn't that I loathe it. I just have a hard time finding the motivation to do it! So, I am now searching for something (don't ask me what, I will know it when I see it), something to help get me motivated. I want to reach a "resolution" BEFORE New Year's. I call it my End of the Year Resolution. That way, I don't have to make any at New Year's. I never really do anyway. Very few people I know, myself included, actually keep theirs. But this year, it may be different. My Plan For The New Year. I can write out the things I want to accomplish and list them by priority. Not only that, but HOW I plan on accomplishing them! My first one, I can tell you, will be to  GET A CAR!!!!!!!!! Once I get my tax money, that is the first thing I am doing with it! Next on the list, SIGN UP FOR SCHOOL. And, while I am doing that, FIND ANOTHER JOB!!!! Wow, I guess I have a list even before.
OK, anyway, I keep running of the topic as my mind does it's usual randomness, flitting from here to there. hahahahaaha so, I just checked out her tumblr page and it is definitely worth a look for exercise and nutrition!!! So go on, you know you want to!!!!
