I hate the "burn"

I always get a little confused whenever the kids go back to school. Even though I still have two busy little people at home I do have a little more down time. Down time nags at me with guilt! I just can't relax. I always feel super guilty when Corey is working all day if I am at home scrapbooking or blogging.... I think I better be working all day also to make it fair. I never know where to draw the line in my mind about if it is okay to work on my "own fun" things. Also I feel guilty doing my "own fun" things if I haven't read my scriptures or exercised or cleaned the whole house or worked in the yard (who am I kidding on that one).... Anyway, so whenever I do work on my "own fun" things I feel guilty the WHOLE time. So I don't know how to find a balance in my mind.

So today to accomplish some of my back to school goals I decided to start doing some exercising. We all know from my glorious hike pictures that I am in need of a little getting into shape. So I always am trying to find something I will stick to and something that is right. I always never know if what I am doing is going to work. About a year ago I bought this little DVD.

I like it because it says 10 Minutes! I can do that, right?! So since school is in I can breathe a little bit more I am committing to doing two of the 10 minute segments every day. I just got done with doing my "sexy sculpted lower body" and "upper body tone and chisel", My arms actually hurt and I can barely type.

I was ever so disappointed when she said it was time to do the chair squats and there was no chair involved. Big disappointment. Also how come I am super out of shape...and yes I was "feeling the burn" but this lady is in super good shape but she is acting like this is hard for her? Shouldn't she be super toned by now and this would be like no big deal to her?

Also I don't like putting the tube under my feet and the holding it my hand. EWWW.

Letting it go....Letting it go.....

Anyway, I did learn that "tube tension training is fabulous"

so I hope that really is the case. I'll post some pictures of my "guns" in a few years.

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
