I have impressed myself a lot with this program, it is a good challenge and I love challenges. I followed the program every single day ever since I started. Sunday which was day 7, fatigue had caught up to me and it took quite a bit of will power to do the workout but I did it. My daughter’s been quite sick with a nasty cold and we’ve had some sleep issues with her, she kept us up many nights during this first week and I was and still am so tired. I just wanted to go nap after I put her down for her nap but I gave myself a kick in the butt and did the exercise. I love the after workout feeling and being proud of myself. I also wanted a cupcake real bad even though I’m not really into sweets and I admit, I had a few glasses of wine this weekend, I had to reward myself a bit! I am going to challenge myself to try and wake up at 6 AM some days to do the workout because right now I do it when my daughter nap, I don’t get to do all the other things I use to do while she nap.

Of course, UrbanMommies is the quintessential online Mommy magazine in Canada, but we know that, well, you don’t always have internet (or your spouse sometimes gets peeved with the laptop-in-bed thing). There are some great parenting magazines / publications out there, and each has something different to offer. Paper magazines are fun – so we thought we’d share our favourites:
I’ve been a little blasé about the 2010 Olympics coming to Vancouver but as time has ticked on, I’m a little upset with myself that I couldn’t have been more excited from the beginning. It was opening ceremonies tonight, and because my rabbit ears didn’t pick up the Official Olympic channel we decided to watch it live on the computer. My whole family was snuggled on the couch watching a small screen as athletes poured into the stadium. Teams of over 150, and teams of just 1, and I sat there trying to imagine what they must be feeling. 
Oh la la! Opening the mail has never been so exciting. Instead of bills and flyers, what appeared in my mailbox today? Nothing other than the sexiest, frilly French panties that I have ever seen.
