Cart Cardio

My sister in law told me today that she has lost 14 pounds since June by eating Weight Watchers. She has not added a workout routine to her lifestyle change just yet, but she is seeing results based on her current efforts. One of my friends works out at the YMCA nearly six days a week in her quest for fitness. My workout routine currently includes chasing my three year old and 20 month old around the house, park, pool, zoo, library, grocery store, bookstore, 1.5 acre yard, and of course, the kitchen. I am pleased with my results and decided to kick it up a notch. I now beat up hubs every night on Wii boxing. I had one boxing related injury that placed me on hiatus for a few days, but I am back at it. I have to tell you, if you are going to have a boxing marathon, make sure you wear shoes. I know how easy it is to get sucked into the game, but the soles of your feet will thank me later. I think I had some sort of hairline fracture in the ball of my left foot from all of my floating and stinging.

I think it is important to change up the workout routine to avoid boredom and plateau. My cousin in CA has recently changed his lifestyle including smaller portions and a drinking hiatus as well as his fitness routine. I saw him at a wedding in May and he looked amazing. Check out his routine. I am going to try it the next time I am at the store without the boys.

You wondered why we call it "Our Crooked Tree"....









This guy is crazy funny like this all the time. Imagine what Thanksgiving dinner is like!
