I Finally Understand Eyebrows!

Since I didn't work out on Friday I was feeling really guilty. Something about sabotaging this diet early on.... yadda yadda yadda. It's amazing how you can tune out your own conscience after 32 years of listening to it nag on about the same thing! So Sunday comes and Matt tells me he's taking the boys for a walk. Perfect!

So I start to get on my shoes. That is the hardest part of having a home gym, putting on your shoes and going downstairs! (who knew?) So the boys get ready and they walk out the door. And I'm anticipating a good hour of uninterrupted time. (heaven) and they walk right back inside. Apparently none of us thought to look out the window. D'OH! So Matt's looking pretty quizzical at me, wondering why I still haven't gotten the memo about the rain when I inform him I wasn't going outside I was going downstairs! OH after the lightbulb goes off he says he'll keep the boys upstairs. Yeah that'll never happen.

So I go downstairs and the first thing that happens is Evan starts to cry. He LOVES going to workout. My 20 month old child can deadlift 30 lbs. He's only 32 lbs so that's 90% of his body weight. It's kind of a big deal in the power lifting world. So Matt is super impressed. So Evan comes downstairs and we work out. I get 40 minutes of cardio in.

• 5 min on speedbag


• 5 min of kickboxing


• 12 min of eliptical (there was a good song on so I stayed on til it was over)


• 10 of treadmill


• 8 more min of eliptical

I'm so proud of myself. This kickboxing thing takes a lot of work. Between that and the eliptical they are the biggest sweat-ers (yeah I know it's not a word) in the gym. So I had forgotten to bring workout towels downstairs with me. They were clean and upstairs and I didn't want to disturb the kids. So I just toughed it out. Well when sweat drips down your forehead it gets into your eyebrows. From there it takes a hard left (or right) turn turned away from the eyebrows! Huh! Who'd have thought? For a girl that hates to sweat I never really thought about it. I just kind of assumed that eyebrows were there to be styled and plucked when you get your hair dyed. Who knew they actually had a function? Good to know that they'll be there the next time I need them.
