Last night I was all set up for my second day work out, Plyometrics, when a friend from out of town showed up at my door. Dave was going to try the work out with me. It's probably just as well that we didn't get to it, because the other night when I worked out until 11:45pm, I didn't sleep for another hour or so.

This morning, after the kids cleaned the basement we went down stairs and did it. Holy COW!! I may never move again. My kids (who sat watching from the bench) gave me two thumbs up for trying except for Jake. One thumb- at least he's honest. When he mentioned how much higher they were jumping, I told him they had never given birth to six children so it didn't matter. And I kept going to the end.

My "endure to end prize?" a smoothie Dave made from orange juice, clementines, strawberries, banana and ice. Dave wanted to add egg whites but I was too afraid. YUM. Hope you gals are doing well.

  1. I am convinced the secret to making it through Plyo is doing it with someone else...whether your kids or a workout partner. I've done it several times and never made it all the way through...I'm a wimp...but there's nothing like someone watching to motivate you (even if it is your kids telling you how high you're NOT jumping!). My goal for week two is to make it all the way through Plyo...my legs hurt just thinking about it!

  2. Also, do it with Melinda, she's a jumper! She will make you do it just by trying to keep up with her!
