Day 3 into our lockdown and it seems like theres a bloody long way to go. How is everyone coping?
Rugby Tots: This morning, Netani had his Rugby class via live stream with his coach. What an awesome way to reach out and get the kids excited for a session from home. The class took around 20-30mins, full of all skills they have learnt in previous sessions and utilizing things around the home. I think Netani was more occupied with the pool table than getting into his session. But he was all for the cheers at the end. He even got a shout out by his coach which was pretty special. After Rugby Tots, it was chill time, breaky and watching McDonalds Happy Meal Minions on YouTube lol.
Body Movement: Today, I listened to my body, but still challenged it a little, doing the Les Mills Barre workout. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT underestimate this. Although it’s a slower paced workout, you definitely feel the burn and its bloody beautiful. I must add that this workout is ballet inspired, but men, do not turn your cheek on this one. If a 6ft ex rugby player can do this (my dad) then you can too. Here is the link to a Les Mills Barre workout: https://youtu.be/iiNxNXMuf7o
Self care: along with body movement and yoga, I sat down and wrote what my goals were for my next chapter in my career. This gained a lot of clarity. I am so excited to put these goals into action and to see where this next journey will take me.
Activities with the kids: Majority of day 3 was self directed play. All I needed to do was take out a few things for the kids to play with (cards, tunnels, tents etc) and let them do their own thing. Tonight Aznie requested that we have a bbq picnic in the lounge and also make a big hut in the lounge using sheets and blankets. This will be mine and the kids sleeping area for the night. The Minions movie is on tv as well so the kids will be having a mini movie night in their hut with popcorn and snacks.
Today I am grateful for the quality time I am able to spend with my babies during this lockdown.
Tomorrow I will be doing a grocery shop (lord help me) and will spend some quality time with Aznie doing some yummy baking. That’s a wrap for day 3 team. Catch ya tomorrow for day 4….
