Monkeyball, and other games

This is the first weekday in two weeks that I haven’t had a kale smoothie for breakfast. I didn’t get to the grocery store so I’m out of bananas AND kale (I had just a little left) (also out of eggs, cheese, butter, and pretty much everything else really) so I made myself an egg white scramble (kale and tomatoes, with no cheese, sob). We also finished up the leftover green grits on Saturday so there wasn’t anything even slightly decadent. There’s a piece of Ezekiel bread in it for me (we have butter at work, hallelujah).

 But there’s nothing like digressing before you even start, right? It was a good weekend. I did everything I thought I would do (except laundry) and got two runs in. We went out to Animal Kingdom Sunday and got Henry on Dinosaur, which is 40” height requirement. He’s never been tall enough for any of the “big kid” rides, and I think he liked it, but he also didn’t want to go on it again. There’s a lot of darkness and realistic angry dinosaurs, and general jerkiness – I hope he goes again. It’s so exciting to have a new thing to do with him!

Spencer went on Everest too, which he went on about 6 months ago but then refused to go on it again because it was “too scary” (he went twice! Once with each of us!).

We left in the mid-afternoon because C wanted to watch the 3pm football game, so we had lunch/dinner where we could watch a little. We felt a little weird about just hanging out there for 3 hours (although I was fine, they had excellent sangria) so we went over to Downtown Disney and I took the boys to Disney Quest while C had a beer at a restaurant bar and watched the rest of the game. It really worked out well – the kids weren’t bored (maybe I was, but that’s because I can’t actually PLAY anything while watching the kids bounce between games).

Tonight is trampoline aerobics, which I’m excited for. Last week I couldn’t work out for days (I wasn’t “can’t move” sore, but certainly “don’t plan on using those muscles” sore for three days afterward). My main beef with TrampoLEAN really is that Mondays were my time before. I got a couple hours to sit on the couch and watch my shows that no one else watches, have a glass of wine and not have to deal with anything or anyone else. It was my choice to fill that time with an aerobics class, but it doesn’t mean I don’t miss it.

So instead of wine and tv, tonight I need to a) do my grocery shopping b) start dinner so it’s ready when I get home c) start a load of laundry so I have some pants d) hope I have some yoga capris for class. It’s looking like the bulk of the week is going to have pretty crummy weather so I may as well go all out so I can’t work out for another three days.
