Day 38 - Being a Mom + Sleep Deprivation = Forgetfulness

Being a mom, you tend to forget a lot of things. At first, I thought it was just me getting old, but I've come to believe that being a mom and being sleep deprived will make you forget a lot. Like when you go upstairs and forget why you went up there in the first place. Or, you go downstairs to get something when you forget that the item was already upstairs to begin with...if you're a mom and sleep deprived, I think you understand where I'm coming from, right?

So on Sunday, I counted all of the times I went up and down the stairs. Sit down for this one..this one is a shocker. I go up and down the stairs at least 52 times in one day. Can you believe it 52 times? For my 40 minutes, I decided to run up the stairs each time I had to go up the stairs and walk down the stairs each time I had to go down the stairs. I don't think it was worth 40 minutes, so I also did abdominal work, arm work, leg lifts and stretching too.

Going up and down the stairs so many times did make me realize a few things. 1. Why the carpet on the stairs is dark and dirty. 2. How this 40 day workout program has given me energy to run up the stairs, 38 days ago, I would have been winded and too tired after going up the stairs. 3. I must have too much time on my hands to count the time I go up and down the stairs.

Until tomorrow, have a great workout, even if you have to run up the stairs to do it. And don't forget to hold on to the handrails, if you need to. Nobody is watching.
