Getting Off Your Butt!

You have to exercise the way that is best for you! Basically, whatever you will get off your butt and do... DO THAT! I won't use a treadmill and I don't want my kids in the daycare at a gym to use a treadmill, swimming is not feasible for me right now, and I do NOT like running (sorry to my running friends). Walking outside with the kids just works for me. The kids and I get out of the house and we usually find a walking path that leads us to a park. This way they can play and get their exercise and I get a break from crazy toddlers. It's perfect for us. What's right for you? Figure it out and get off you lazy, large rear-end and do it!

Can I just say I love jogger's? My friend Amy once said that if she could marry her jogger, she would. I hear ya girl! They are a working-out mama's best friend! So, I have a double jogger as I've mentioned before. Well, I have 3 kids. Carrying the baby in a sling will work for now, but then what? See, Brandon and I had the bright idea to have kids close in age, so they are 4 years old and under. None of them can keep up at the pace I want to go. Soooo, I want a triple jogger!!!!!!!! I really do. I mean look at that sucker! Isn't bad*ss?! It's on the Christmas list, so here's hoping Santa is generous this year (come on Santa, I've been a good girl)!


I Am What I Eat

• Amy's yummy banana smoothie

• Kombucha

• An o. apple, a Lara Bar and a Bora Bar, H20

• A "green lemonade". I don't have a juicer right now, so the fruit was whole and super blended in the Vitamix. It was a lemon, an apple, a celery stalk, 2/3 cucumber, and some leaves cut off our radishes. It was good and gave Brandon and I bursts of energy. Being that it was in a blender and not juiced, I'd add more juicy fruit and a little less cucumber. I can't wait to get another Jack Lalanne juicer!

• Made the tofu and couscous again with ginger this time.

• Decaf Green Tea

• O. air popped popcorn w/olive oil and sea salt

• Home made french fries (red potatoes cut up and cooked in olive and coconut oil), an Amy's (I seem to like Amy's!) California veggie burger cut up with o. ketchup.

• Glass of Silk chocolate soy milk.
  

Did I Exercise Today.

Yep. I walked a mile to the park and a mile home. I kept a good pace (once I switched the kids around, got the baby to stop crying, gave the kids snacks, etc). It felt really good. On the way home it got hot. My pelvis hurts tonight, but it was so worth it. I want to get that triple jogger and rock this neighborhood. I can be known as that crazy lady w/the huge stroller!

Overall and Tomorrow's Goals

I am proud of myself for eating well and getting exercise today. Tomorrow I am going to go on a shorter, easier walk just to get in the habit of walking everyday. Baby steps!
