Monthly Goal:
With all these holiday parties eating healthy meals is not always an option so lets combat it with increasing our physical activity. Not only will this help us burn those extra calories but more importantly it will help relieve some of the stresses brought on by Christmas shopping and budgeting.
Today’s Activity:
Do something physical that you wouldn’t normally do.
Note:
You can pull out that exercise DVD that’s been hiding in the back of the DVD case, head to the gym, shovel the walks (if they need it), carry your little ones around on your back and use them as your own personal free weight, do push ups during the commercials of your favorite daytime or evening TV show, take a few extra trips up the stairs today, do some calf raises on the steps, do sit ups with a child sitting on your belly or knees and see if you can give them a kiss while sitting up, squat a few extra times before actually sitting down at the table, or take a nice walk around the block with or without the kids.
Evaluate:
Elese has a favorite DVD. It is called Dance Baby Dance by Infantastic. I’m almost positive they don’t make it anymore. Anyway I got this DVD just after she was born. Basically it is mom’s dancing with their babies as a way to loose that baby weight. Today I woke up feeling gross because of all the junk I ate over the last week and the last thing I wanted to do was exercise but lucky for me that is this months goal so I HAD to do it so I could evaluate it. Elese and I had a fabulous time. This was the perfect exercise for me to do today because I’ve been feeling like Elese is getting harder for me to carry so this was the perfect way to build some strength in that area.
