Last night I finally got back into my routine. I got home from work, I worked out, ate dinner and took pictures of my baby.

Hannah was at her Nana’s again last night. I feel like I’ve barely seen her in the past week. She was with lots of family in Ohio and I maybe spoke to her once a day in the middle of running around. Then she gets home Tuesday and is off to Nana’s house by last night. It’s summer and she’s trying to live it up. I can’t blame her. So it was just me and Liv for a little bit last night until Hubs surprised us and came home early from work.

I’ve noticed the older she gets she more she acquires Hannah’s toys. In that picture she’s whining and holding up this little Star Wars computer game that she LOVES playing. It’s got worse detail than an Atari and yet she loves it.

She can’t open it on her own though so she’s constantly bringing it to me to open it while trying to keep her balance because it’s kind of heavy. I did try to get a picture of that but none of them were good. It’s super cute though to watch. I promise.

It’s been raining a lot down here lately which is not the norm. Usually summer here consists of temps over 95 everyday and crazy gulf coast humidity and the usual summer drought. No drought this year. It’s been raining for 9 days straight. I’m a bit annoyed at this point. Granted, we missed a lot of the rain enjoying the cool dry weather in Ohio last week but already, in the 4 days that I’ve been back I’ve: gotten rained on, gotten stuck in horrible traffic, and had to walk through a flooded tunnel of brown water to avoid walking in said rain. So needless to say, I’m done with all this rain. The ONLY good part of it is how green my grass is. Seriously, I mean that. Usually in the summer our grass has brown dry spots and it’s so hard to keep nice looking because the heat burns it up. Not this year. It’s so wet in fact that mushrooms are popping through and while I hate the thought of mushrooms in my food or near me, I thought they looked pretty cool in my yard.

When I walked out this morning there were about 5 more in the yard and they looked huge. It amazes me how fast they pop up and grow over night.

And so the new workout. Yes, it was started last night.

This was intense. It made doing The Shred seem like a piece of cake. I was begging for Jillian to come save me after just a few weeks ago I was cussing Jillian out. Now mind you, I liked this more. I like cardio and leg exercises because I have huge legs and need to get them under control. The Shred was circuit training and I’ve NEVER liked that kind of exercise even though it’s so effective. I think this new workout will be even awesomer. Yes, that’s a word (to me). I plan to do it 5 days a week and take off on the weekends. It has an ab burner, a thigh  burner, a bun burner, an arm burner and some stretch workout. I will probably skip the stretching one for now and probably not do the arms as much either as my lower half is what needs the most attention. Last night I did the thigh work out. It had great moves to tone thighs and lots of cardio in between to do that ever famed raising and lowering the heartrate to burn the most calories. I’m excited to see how this changes me in another 30 days. I’ll give an update in 2 weeks and again when the month is over.

Tonight I plan to make Hannah let me take some pictures of her. I need some desperately. I miss her.
