Perseverence

Last week I went to a Dancing for Birth class. I don't think I blogged about it. But if I did, I apologize for the repeat.

The class is intended to help women to prepare for birth using different dancing techniques. A lot of the moves involved belly dancing. We wore jangles on our hips and made figure eights with our hands and hips. It was interesting and fun. Jude came along inside the Ergo. We've really been getting some good use out of the Ergo Baby Carrier. I was thinking that we made a good choice on it. I've seen several moms with older kids, 3, 4, 5 and they can still hike them around in the Ergo.

So today I spent workout doing yoga. 1 hr and 15 minutes restorative yoga with Chris. I was a little distracted. My mind was wondering quite a bit. I was more in the mood to sweat and really work it out, but today was more of a stretch and relax class. I still got some good stuff out of it though. I have to say that I have never walked away from my 30 minutes workout disappointed. I love feeling obligated to work out for 30 minutes everyday. There aren't excuses. It just happens. I'm getting more able to plan for it too. Tuesdays I do mom and baby yoga at the library. I've really been getting some good work on my arms. We just lower down in push up position down to the floor with the chest leading. Wow, my arms are feeling it. So I'm really happy we have this going on, even if I have been slacking at the blogging lately. But I'm still pleased with myself for doing the 30 minute devotional each day.

We are planning a trip to Central America over winter. I was wondering how the blogging will work there. We could bring a laptop...just wondering if we want too. I was looking at other blogs online. There is a couple driving all over Canada, US and Central and South America in one year. They set up their van to sleep in it and they blogging along the way. They just left this area-Idaho, Montana, and I think they are in California now. I think we might beat them to Central America. Maybe we should blog first! Well they were supposed to be the "great source for driving in the America's," the problem is that they are still in the process, so there really isn't much information ( at least that I could find) about driving through there. But it sounds like its something that is done and LOVED by those who do it. I'm getting pretty excited. I would like to set some goals for the trip to help me with the planning process. I've never been much of a planner. As far as trips go, I usually just like to get there and wing it. But I feel like I might like to have at least some loose plans this time. Try a little different approach to traveling.

Well I'm off to bed. I REALLY didn't want to blog tonight, but I'm getting back on the blogging bandwagon.
