oh yeah, I'm serious

This is me being serious. The hardest thing for me to get exercising is putting on my shoes. But once they're on, LOOK OUT here I come! Running is not my favorite but I know it's so good for you and works your bum down. Nothing, and I mean nothing, is more motivating though, than my children mainly my 6 year old . This boy has come to me for the past few days with," When are we gonna exercise mom? After lunch are we gonna exercise? Are we doing the ball?" So finally after thinking of things to do to put it off, I finally broke down and me, Mason, and Nat exercised this afternoon. Actually it was fun to do with the kids. We got out the big gym ball that you can roll around on and worked our arms and abs. Then we ran around the island in the kitchen 50 times. I'll admit that I was pooped and after only 5 minutes the kids made it an even 100. I watched em. No need to push it on the first day! Then we made charts.




Off to your left we have the running chart. Made by my squishy princess (who did the numbers all by herself I might add). And off to the right we have the ball chart made 100% by the Pants- or Mason. After we run, we put a sticker on that day. When we exercise on the ball, we fill in the square. This will help me for the following reasons, in random order.
1. They put it in the kitchen where we will see it EVERYDAY.
2. It happens to be on the chips and good cereal(Froot Loops, Capn Crunch,etc..) cupboard. Try reaching for Doritos with your running chart staring you in the face.
3. They actually really want to 100% do this with me. My best kids, helping there mom. Oohh I love it. And I love them.

We are getting a new family picture this June for my moms living room wall in Utah. It will be taken in Maui. So, yes I am super excited to go to Hawaii with my Love and my family-no kids!!! Repeat no kids! And my wonderful sister in law has made a slight competition if you will out of who will lose the most weight. It's called Maui Chubs. But I hate to break it to you girls and Eric and Dan, but with my chart- I'm a shoe in to win. All hail Beck! But you can keep trying. (I'm totally trashing) play along with me.
