I had to share this. I usually try to do the 15 minute zone pilates DVD in the morning, or the McDonalds strength DVD (they are all I have) but today I totally put it off. Then this afternoon, my 1.5 yr old brings me the zone trainer, saying "yeah?". So I figure, I'm not going to get a bigger hint than that. I wasn't really into it, but towards the end, while I'm struggling through the pelvic tilts, both boys sat beside me with a bowl of snacks, and the 3yr old looks at me and says "Mommy's pretty". I am feeling anything but, yet at that moment I'm positive I must have started to beam!! Then he looks at his brother and says "She's helping those muscles, good job!".
There it is, melted my heart thoroughly. The struggles don't compare to the rewards! And to think I've been contemplating all afternoon about walking to the store to get a chocolate bar...although I must admit, I did eat a couple of the chocolate bits out of my son's cereal...but they're dark chocolate, lol!
