while it’s not extremely warm here, but warm enough to play outside a bit, what are you doing for fun?
Mr. C and I have started a 2k every day initiative on the 160. We are walking with the kiddos 2 kilometres (for our American friends – and spell check who don’t know what 2k is *snicker*) As you can see from the picture.. it’s rather a gong show… but we are feeling better since we started about a week ago! I think sometimes we convince ourselves that we can’t do it b/c we have so many children, but really we can, it’s just more….. more… challenging.. think of it as weightlifting while walking lol.
Can I challenge you to start an exercise initiative for the spring and summer?

I think that is great! I walk every day with katie. Twice a day when the weather is warm enough. I can’t go far but at least I go!

I love how you take all your children on your family walk!
I’m pretty much a fair weather walker…when it’s cold or rainy (which it is most of the winter here) I try to do my ancient workout tape…
I recently got motivated to keep it up three times a week because we were getting ready for our vacation in southern Ca. (Come over and read part 1 of the saga!)
Good for you for bundling up the family and walking together!

I have been THINKING about pushing my mop around, especially since walking bare feet INSIDE is grossing me out. Does that count? hheh
LOVE the pic.

Hey girl! I have a goal to start walking with my little one now that it’s warmer as well. She’s had a little bit of the sniffles, so I didn’t want to take her out in the cold! Hope you’re doing well.

I’ll take your challenge as soon as I get out of the first trimester yucky-tireds!

Last fall I started trying to walk a certain distance everyday and it truly has made a difference. It has helped me to be more fit, lowered my stress level, and even been a great lift to a bad day. Good luck as you continue to meet this goal!

Oh dear, if you can walk with that many kids, what’s my excuse? Guess I don’t have one anymore!
