Wow, my will power is so weak. Exercise isn't the hard part. Infact I have been enjoying that part of this. ( except for the muscles just above my knees are so sore from all the lunges). I do reallly well with the calories until dinner time. I just fix or grap whatever is easiest at the moment in the midst of all the homework and activities. I need to find some really good healthy recipes to get more motivated at dinner time.

Have you ever been body slammed by a toddler as you are in the middle of a set of crunches. Let's just say that it makes it a rather tough workout. My funny little girl wanted to wrestle in the middle of my work out yesterday. I guess I can chalk it up to a few extra calories burned while laughing so hard and having fun. Best kind of exercise.

I found some easy ways on the web this morning to sneek in so extra exercises.

-Wake up, do ten push-ups & 10 sit ups

-10 butt squeezes while doing laundry.

-10 lunges while waiting for that pot of water to boil.

-10 overhead presses while puting those cans of soup away.

-10 heel lifts while standing in checkout line.

-10 jumping jacks during commercial.

-10 kicks and 10 knee lifts after your favorite show is over.

-carry those few bags to your car instead of push them in the cart.

-park further away so you have to walk a bit.

-take the stairs.

-vacuuming

-washing the floor by hand is a better work out than using the mop.

-sweeping the deck off

-doing squats while washing walls.

-walking while talking on the phone.

-wiggle those feet or bounce those knees while watching favorite show.

Even the smallest of movements can bring big results!
