wild child

sawyer pooped in the potty this morning! i saw that he was making "the face" so i mentioned that he should poop in the potty. off he goes to the bathroom door. knock knock. i had to get my lazy butt off the couch (it was cold) to let him in, take his pants down and diaper off and ta-da! while we were reading his potty book, he pooped! the tiniest little nugget but still a poop!

nope. he’s not constipated b/c he had a GROSS poop at the library during book club. we could smell it right away. *phew*

book club is not so easy with sawyer along. he was all over the place. good thing the librarian was going to redecorate today, b/c he even ripped a poster down. i do not know why he did that. he has never ripped a poster down at the library before and we’ve been there a zillion times. she laughed and said it was okay since she wanted to redecorate today and that one was old. i talked to him about it though; he has to be told that that kind of behaviour is wrong. besides taking a few books off the shelf and your average toddler behaviour, he was a bit grumpy (book club goes into naptime), he and his friend (from play date day–his mom is the one that told me about book club) ran around the library, chasing each other all over and played with the toys they have there.

we got some potty books and the librarian had one for parents and child to read together too. she’s the best librarian. she is really thoughtful.

last night’s workout was a rough one. he had us jumping around like we were frickin frogs or something. LOL. it’s just something muay thai trainers have their fighters do. too hard to explain but yes, we jumped across the room like frickin frogs. then ran back. our partner did it. then we did it. over and over for a minute. then we did a bunch of other similar stuff. then we did stations (crunches, push-ups, etc for a minute each.) then we did the whole thing again in 30 second increments. crap. our legs were shaking. his punching/kicking/kneeing part was a little dull. dennis definitely did a better job on that part. they’re not the usual trainers though so they both did a good job. 🙂

so, that’s 3 times in one week. 2 hours on monday, 1.5 hours on both tuesday and thursday and i still feel fat and lazy. *sighs* i’m screwed in the head. LOL. it’s just hard to be seeing physical progress in your body and then fall sick for a couple weeks and have to start over again. i think i’ve made up my mind. i would like to do yoga on mondays (when it starts up again) and kickboxing on thursdays (if my mom is agreeable to it. i’m sure she will be.) it’s $5 for yoga and $10 for kickboxing so that’s not bad at all. $15 a week to get great exercise? yup. and dennis and i can work out at the club whenever we want.

i really want to get rid of the rest of this weight. can you tell? if only i ate better. *sighs* i’d rather work out like a fiend (and walk) than worry about every little thing that goes into my mouth. i just need to get a better frame of mind. i’m working hard and i need to remember to be proud of myself. it just seems like every time i am, someone knocks me back down. the guy running the class last night made me feel like…i dunno…he thought i wasn’t working as hard as everyone else or like i didn’t deserve instruction b/c i’m not a fighter. it’s not his fault. it’s just me being dumb. the girls don’t care if they do everything right; they are just there for the workout. so he wasn’t giving me and my partner attention, teaching us to do the drills right. neglecting us, really. i was a little pissed b/c we paid $10 and i wanted to learn but he’s not one of the trainers and he thinks the girls don’t care. not his fault at all but still…made me feel…like i wasn’t as good as the others or something. i get the feeling from him that he thinks i’m not working as hard as the others too. argh. he’s such a nice guy so i doubt he thinks that and i’m just putting my own feelings about myself on him (narcissistic much?!)

anyway, i got a few compliments from different people on my kicks. the teacher on monday liked my form and one of the guys complimented me on my power on tuesday. AND the boxing coach that comes to work with the fighters really liked my article (it’s on the bulletin board.)

if you read all that, thanks. if not, well, it was a lot of rambling.

bday parties tonight and tomorrow.

off to read some faves. haven’t had the chance yet today…
