I just got back from a week long trip to Lake of the Ozarks with my dad's side of the family. We rented a lake house that was located right on the lake in its own little cove. We had the cove to ourselves with our own dock. It was so nice! We spent most of our time swimming in the cove and riding on the boat around to different areas of the lake and swimming. The first day out I learned two things very quickly: The first is that apparently sunblock, no matter how high the SPF, does not work on me...
No, that's not Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer...that's me...the day before I have to go back work. SWEET! Parker said I look like a nake (snake) shedding my skin. And I can only hang my head in shame and pain and agree.
The second thing I learned is that after a morning and afternoon of swimming/trying not to drown floating in the lake and drinking rather heavily then having to walk up these stairs to get to the house....
....I might have had my first experience of what it feels like when you are about to die. Honestly I think my body hated me. None of those of course deterred me from getting right back out there every day after that. In all honesty, it was a blast. I spent a week with family that all get a long and have a great time with each other. Time spent laughing A LOT and just enjoying each other. Time that we know is rare because we live in different states but makes it that much more special.
Foot in the pants while sleeping...weird.
A little update on the exercise situation. Well there is no situation. I am horrible about keeping up a routine when MY routine gets altered a little. I had been getting up in the mornings and working out before work and LOVED it. I got it out of the way and didn't have to dread it when getting off work. We could have normal dinner time and more time spent with P Diddy. Well then Wendell started working over time at work and going in waaaaaaaay early in the mornings...like me having to get up at 4:00 am to get in a work out by 5:00, early. Not happening. Also not happening is me working out after work. Ugh. I have a gym membership and should be using it anyway, so I'm going to start going to the gym straight after work. I've been excited about throwing in some weights along with my cardio so that's giving me some new motivation. Hopefully next blog I can give some good updates about that.
Until next time!!!!
