My favorite thing about the start of a new school year is the fact that it is a new beginning – new teachers, new activities, even new clothes!!!
This is a big year – the last year I will have a middles school student!! Since Hunter is in 8th grade, next year both boys will be at the high school!!!
Hunter started school on Wednesday –
1st day of 8th gradeNot sure why he looks like he is in pain – clown!!a quick arm wrestling match before leaving for school!
Jordan had an extra day off because just the freshman go on the first day!!! But, Wednesday evening was band exhibition – the culmination of all the hard work put in at band camp!
Jordan waitinga little demo
Thursday was Jordan’s first day of school – 10th grade!!!
ready to goclearly he wasn’t going to smile!!!
Both boys had a great start to the school year and I know it is going to be a super year for them!!!
Hard to believe that it is a new school year already – summer flew by!!! I can’t wait to see what all this new year has in store for my boys!!!
Today I did an L-step to the right with a knee raise and oblique crunch, L-step off the back with a knee raise and oblique crunch, repeat to left side and back = 1 rep.
You can tell from the video that I included a knee raise and crunch as often as possible. I enjoyed this 43 – it got my heart rate up some but was still low-impact!
I did day 6 of the 12 Days of Fitness – today added in 6 pull-ups. (I had to do the assisted kind!)
Today instead of doing a work-out, I closed out my work-out log for the year. It was a pretty consistent year of working out for me – 291 days!!! (if all I did was the daily 43, that did not count as a work-out day) Only 78 days of running (stupid stress fracture/hip pain!!!) but I did get a total of 694.7 miles so that is 8.9 as a daily average!!! Hopefully I will stay injury free in 2013!!
Some highlights of 2012:
Quit my job in June (happy & a little sad)
family trip to Florida in June
Great Wolf Lodge with boys
Sam & Stacy up for 4th of July
family trip to Texas in July – spent lots of time with my 98 year-old Poppa
Hunter broke his arm (he handled it very well!) – end of July
family trip to Denver in August
started this blog in mid September!!
quick trip to TX – shopping with my sister – early October
lots of time spent together as a family – Chris wasn’t deployed at all this past year!!!
Looking forward to a great new year in 2013!!!
I’m going to try to remember this quote every day!!! I truly want 2013 to be the year that I live my life in the moment and not spend all of my time looking ahead (or behind)!
