I never have time to work out with a full time job and two kids, yup that's my excuse. If you know me at work I never walk anywhere. There's a shopping center next to our building that's a 5 minute walk but I would always drive because I never wanted to walk.
Well, I've changed my tune since i've gained 20 lbs in the last two years and since starving myself isn't working I have started walking on my breaks at work and I even walked down to baja fresh today which is pretty far. I walked 26 minutes there and back from Baja Fresh and according to livestrong.com I burned 195 calories. Not sure how accurate that is, but i'll take it. I might even step it up a bit and walk on my lunch breaks from now on. There are a lot of hills and huge blocks to walk, so I might put myself up to the challenge next week.
On deck this weekend for me and the boys: walking! Taking my friend Brenda's advice and going on walks. Although i'm secretly hoping that grandma takes Andrew for the weekend.
OH and in grandma news last Sunday she called and said she bought Andrew a rooster, not another fake one, but a REAL ROOSTER! I guess they were walking around the neighborhood and Herme decided to buy a rooster from the neighbor. Mind you she lives in a condo with 4 cats and 3 birds that occupy the balcony.
We picked up Andrew and she showed us the lovely livestock, holding right in front of Andrew's face. I just had visions of it pecking him. Also, my mind was racing thinking, "does this animal have a disease?" Well, we didn't take the bird home as I don't think our neighbors would appreciate being woken up at 4 am and we just didn't want it. She told us the other day that she gave it back to the neighbor. Thank god.
Happy Friday
