Today is day three of a 21 day challenge that I am taking part of with GPF. I have decided that as part of this challenge I am going to blog about my goals and how my day turned out.
Day 3: Goal - Don't let my UP vibrate. An UP is a fitness bracelet (similar to a Fit Bit). I have it set up go off every 45 minutes if I am inactive. That can be a challenge when I have meetings and paperwork - but today I was subbing to an ed tech. I hoped that I would be moving around from class to class- but I didn't. It was a lot of sitting and one on one time. Great I thought- but I made it through the school day without any issues.
Side notes and cute stories from the day: (I subbed at my mothers school):
- Your name is Ms Skilling? [Yes] You look like the Mrs. Skilling that teaches first grade. [She's my mom] NO WAY!
- [at recess little girl comes running over to me] Guess what? [What?] When I was coming down the slide I closed by eyebrows! [You mean your eyes?] No, my eyebrows! [How did you do that?] Like this! (she then closes her eyes scrunches up her face.
I then headed to the Y to practice a few songs in the pool. It always feels good to get in the pool and test drive some choreography. {Oh and I LOVE taking Aqua- I'm sure I will write about it on Friday}.
From the basement to the third floor where I taught Zumba Toning- that class continues to grow and makes me happy to see new faces as well as my regular crew. From the third floor back to the basement to the pool for my last weekday aqua class until March, {HURRY UP ~ COME ON SPRING!} It was a splashing success [MAXED OUT AGAIN}- I am happy to still have Saturday mornings.
I have to brag a little right here. I am required at the Y to have a lifeguard on duty- besides myself. Since May, I have had Rachel on Mondays and Grace on Wednesdays. These girls are great! When they weren't lifeguarding they were in the pool taking the class. They would dance along and bring their moms and friends to class as well (they tell me they are going to join me on land starting next week). I am going to miss them and hope that they might drag themselves out of bed on Saturdays sometimes to see me.
After jumping in the pool and then a quick shower it was off to choir for practice. {Make me a servant all of my days. I won't take credit, I'll give you the praise! And may the prayer of my heart always say: make me a servant today!} One of the goals I made for myself this year was to keep singing. Something about it just gives me a "rush" of joy.
Then shopping and food prep... and as I am writing this... I have realized... I have 20 burpees to do... I made it most of the day keeping moving... until choir- its 90 mins long so my bracelet did go off from sitting- but I'm ok with that... although I thought about doing some jumping jacks part way through... maybe I should have done my burpees then...
