Jumpy Jumpy Jacob! Trampoline...

So my oldest son got a trampoline for Christmas from his Grammy and Auntie. I have been using it as much as he has. For one, he wants us to jump on it with him and I'm not too old for that; no way! Also, I have been using it when he's not here. Can I say E X C I R S I S E? Yes, class, lets say that again! E X C I R C I S E! So if for whatever weird reason I find myself at home alone, even for five minutes, I race out there and jump till I feel my legs and upper thighs burning. It's wonderful and gets the heart racing and I can just feel I'm breathing deeper etc. Good for the soul. NOW. Lets not talk about what our neighbors on that side probably think of me. I purposely jump with my back to their house in case they are peeking out. I don't care really but kind of, I am aware that they might think I'm a little loo loo.

So Noah says to Jacob all the time, "Jumpy jumpy Jacob" cause he likes his johnny jumper thing so much. I swear, the entire time I'm on the trampoline, whether it's with Noah or I'm just alone, I'm thinking, "Jumpy jumpy Jacob" in the little kid voice. :)

I'm gonna try a flip next time I'm on. I've been trying to get up the nerve. I finally got the nerve to do a silly seat drop. Now I can do three in a row without flinching or falling at all. It's the norm. Then he and I have been having this contest who can make the funniest face and combine it with a seat drop to make the other person laugh. Oh it's loads of fun. When I'm out there, I feel like I'm 12 and baby, I'm SO not 12.

Kay, really, I wish I were sleeping. I am so exhausted that I think I'm past it and can't sleep. I lay in bed and can't stop thinking about Go Karts. So I get up and write about my trampoline excirsise. Why won't my mind stop? I just want it to stop. Is there such a thing as a sleep voo doo doctor? I one night tried taking a benadryl and my body laughed in the face of it.

Maybe I should go jump on the trampoline....................

Trampoline jumping is EXCELLENT exercise and not stressful to the body. Go for it, you might find yourself feeling better and better, and getting lighter and lighter. Check it out on the medical/exercise sites, I heard about this on a talk show awhile back. Have a ball!
