Workout

So, I hardly ever have a spare minute to work out- I don't know how it is for you guys, but I certainly find it hard to squeeze one in. That's why I've decided to try as hard as I can to turn everyday tasks into a workout. Mowing the lawn, for example. It's an alright workout, but if you don't use the drive lever and run with the lawn mower, it turns into a great workout! Not only are you getting a cardio workout from the running, but your legs and arms are getting stronger from it as well. : ) Mowing season is probably over in most other areas of the world, but there are many more things that we do every day that could easily be turned into a workout. So lift your stack of plates a few times before you put them away, do crunches during commercials, or whatever else you can think of. Power to the ordinary!!! : )

Re-commit

This is what I have felt like for the last two weeks... Do any of you share my sentiments? 
Well even if you don't, I hope you got a laugh out of it. I think it's time for all of us to re-commit. I am definitely hitting that "worn out" phase. It's time for all of us to step it up a notch. We can do this!!!! We are going to kick this next week's booty!!! (And Mom and I are not going to eat any more Pirates Booty- that stuff is addictive...) This week I think we should all post a healthy recipe on the blog for everyone to try. It doesn't necessarily have to be an amazing recipe- it could just be a healthy snack idea or something like that. Or just whatever you please! : ) I want everyone to get posting so that we have more of a support group available for each other. Post your successes, your failures, your fun ideas, and your great work-outs! We want to hear it all!!! : )
