A month later ~ Fitness

This week makes a month that I've been going to the gym. Has it been worth it? Yes.
The last week or so I haven't put as much heart into it. That has to change this coming week! I've got to make myself get to the gym even when I can find every reason not to go!! 
This week I did train with Ryan on Monday and snowshoed Wednesday with Erin and Laura (begrudgingly to be quite honest ~ I was tired).
I'm happy that I'm noticing a difference in my core compared to a month ago. The first time I met with Ryan I could plank maybe 10 seconds and I was shaking like an Aspen leaf in the wind!
This week I planked for 35 seconds with minimal shaking.
Planking is when you lay on your stomach and lift your body off the ground with your forearms and toes. Great way to strengthen your core!


On a different note I applied for a job this week. It's a full time position as the Activities Director at the assisted living facility where Heather works. I would love this job. I will know in a week or two if I get it. The Administrator was impressed with all the volunteer coordinating I've done or am doing. Hopefully...............


The kids are doing great ~ Ben is busy with practice for the upcoming high school musical "Fiddler on the Roof". We're excited that DJ's mom is coming out for a few days during the musical!
Dani is quickly closing in on graduation. She will be moving out June 1st. She's going to rent a room where Heather lives as one of Heather's roommates is getting married in April. 
God's timing never ceases to amaze us!
