Day 1 of the March Week 1 Challenge

Today I was bound and determined to workout! I packed all of my workout gear last night along with the jogging stroller and my phone accessories...and what happened...it rained all day!! No, problem, I did not let it get me down. I came home, cooked for my little one real quick and set her down to eat. While she ate, I began my workout. When I was almost done wit my first set she had to go potty! I was both excited for her and I had a "ah man" moment because I had to break stride! No problem again, we went potty and then I was back to it. Once I got started she decided she did not want to eat anymore so I cleaned her up and prepared to finished my workout...do you know how hard it is to count when your 2 year old is saying, "4, 7, 3, 2..."! I could not help but laugh! Besides...it was only fair, she was laughing at me!! Needless to say, I got my workout in and I am very glad I did! So, here it is...
