If you’ve been around Compendium before, you know my goal: To be a good steward of this body God has blessed me with.

I fell behind on my June fitness goals on the very first day of the month and I’ve been struggling to catch up every day since then.

I REFUSE TO GIVE UP!!! As long as it’s still June, I still have a chance.

Today, I was able to double my daily walking goal, but at the end of the evening, I found myself short a two minute plank and 5 BOSU pushups.

ugh.

I wanted to go to bed. But I KNEW that if I could just handle a lousy two and a half minutes, I could go to bed without waking up disappointed that I allowed myself to fall even further behind.

So I just got it done.

06/15/11 – Walked 4 miles (6.5 incline), 1 two minute plank, 10 BOSU push-ups, 10 tricep reps, 10 back extensions, 10 oblique crunches (See ALL JUNE ENTRIES HERE)

I couldn’t believe it, but PinkGirl voluntarily took a nap this afternoon!

Either “I WIN!” the “whoever wears out first, LOSES” game or she’s getting sick.

Either way, THANK YOU GOD, she really needed the rest – and I needed a tiny little bit of solitude.

I let PinkGirl get in a full 90 minute sleep cycle, making me 30 minutes late picking up FavoriteSon from work.

FavoriteSon, entering his time into the calendar: “hmmm. I stopped working at 2:40, but SOMEONE didn’t pick me up until 3pm.”

Me: “I brought you chicken alfredo and a Sport Illustrated, what, do you want me to bring you slippers too?”

FavSon: “now that you mention it…”

I’m bored with driving. I want to learn to drift.

It seems it takes 20 minutes to get everywhere. And my “free” pockets of time today are logistically non-functional.

8:40am – drive PinkGirl to dance camp
9:20 – home
10:00 – drive FavSon to work
10:20 – home
11:40 – go pick up PinkGirl from dance camp
12:20 – home
2:00 – go pick up FavSon from work
2:40 – home
Hopefully, I can squeeze in a workout/rehearsal on the treadmill before making dinner and heading out to praise team rehearsal tonight at 7pm. I hope I can fit a shower in there somewhere…

I don’t know if I could cut my drive time down, but at least the 20 would be more fun if I could learn to drift in a minivan…
