Sweet numbers! So impressive!Hope the back feels better.
Awww thanks! Back is feeling a tiny bit better. I still feel something when I move a certain way, but overall good. Glad it didn't turn out to be worst than what it is. I hate being out of the gym due to injury. I want to dictate when I take a break. lol

Fri. 11/26--Day after Thanksgiving
Hope everyone had a wonderful turkey day! We stayed home with just 4 of us and had a lovely gobble day. I didn't go too overboard on food. Just enough to satisfy my tummy. I did have 2 pieces of pie though. Hubby bought a cherry (my fav) and a pumpkin pie. The kids got into the pie first and when I got to it almost half of the cherry was gone. The pumpkin was untouched. So as not to hurt hubby's feeling, I also had a piece of pumpkin.
We were suppose to train tonight, but we decided to stay home and have a family movie night with added of pizza and tiramisu. We watched "Fireproof" which is actually based off of the bible study my hubby and I are doing. ~The Love Dare journey~ I bawled my eyes out. It was awesome. LOL
Trying to find that perfect balance in our family life. Still finding time to train, but also not forgetting family time is so important.
Hope everyone had an awesome turkey day and have a wonderful weekend!
Looking forward in hitting the weights on Monday.

I think you made the right choice! Those are the moments that kids will remember and taking the time with family is so important. Totally agree!! I struggle to find that balance too and I know in the bigger picture, the family moments are the ones that will count!
