Getting it done...

So far so good this week.

I've gotten my workouts in, including strength and cross-training.

This week is less packed full of stuff, so that helps.

I put my workout plan for the week on my phone

and that seems to be some motivation, too.

I've even become less scared of the free weight area at the gym.

Yay for me.

I know it's silly, but it's always so crowded with already buff people.

Then there's me over in the corner with my 5 lbs weights.

Okay, sometimes I use 10 lbs.

I won't get any stronger if I don't venture forth.

I am slowly realizing that I don't really care what the 

strangers at the gym think about me ;).

In other news,

Oldest child participated in his first chess tournament!

He looks super pleased to be having his picture taken.

I believe the husband made him pretend to be playing

so he could take the picture that I requested.

He did pretty good- I'm proud of our D-man.

He's always asking me to play chess with him...

and I am absolutely terrible at it.

I usually say:

 "Go ask Dad.  Come to me when you want to play checkers."
