Today is WORKOUT DAY!!! I do it every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I used to do it every day but my body had a sudden inflammatory response so I dropped it 5 after a one month recovery and I got an inflammation response again. It was difficult to walk and I could not lift my arms above my head. So after that my hubby said maybe you can't workout everyday. I tried that and have not experienced any problems since then. My body now needs more recovery time and I need to soak in a bath after I'm done.

Now that I have explained that my son works out with me for my second half. I do a Team Body Project workout before he wakes up varying from 30-60 minutes using my weights most of the time going from cardio to resistance or mostly a mixed workout they create that hits all areas at my pace and strength for the day. Today's Walking Cardio AKT was fun but tough because it was non-stop and the moves used the full body at all times with many variations of squats. (My kind of good time )I also completed a 25 minute Cardio workout from Lucy Wyndham Read. Kicked my butt. I was drenched by the end. Glad I had a two hour rest in-between before my son woke. I'm a early riser. Start my day between 3am and 5am most days.

Well the reason I wrote this post is because of my son and the hilarious and unexpectantly painful comment he said. I couldn't stop laughing but I thought just wow.

This is what happened during the Lucy 25 minute walk through Venice video. ( free on youtube if you want to check her out. Using her workouts alone(and my best nutrition) before I got pregnant in 2016 I went from 500 in 2013 down to 297.)

I let him play a bit in the workouts to keep it interesting and fun. This time he chose to walk around with his airplane in his hand. I was keeping a good pace so I was walking behind him. He creates stories for his toys and this time bacause we did arm exercises his plane and the people in it had lots of turbulance. Because I was keeping up with him he suddenly said " Oh no, we are approaching a big mountain as he flew the plane towards me. I said "Wait, am I the big mountain" He said " Yes, its pretend." I just started to laugh and I told him I get it but be careful because making someone who is trying to lose weight a big mountain might hurt their feelings. I still can't stop laughing about it because I know he didn't mean any harm and kids perspective of looking up at us all the times makes the world seem so much bigger. That incident made me realize being called big is still a bit of a painful emotional trigger. I'm proud I have grown emotionally to beable to still play with my son, enjoy the workout and let those dark thoughts disapate with light and love because I am big in many ways.

Thanks for reading and I hope you got a laugh as well. If this trigered any bad memories of any bullying you experienced due to your size you can smile at how much it doesn't hold power over you anymore as well.
