Better heath in the new year!

Pin It

I am not the biggest fan of exercise. Yes, I admit it, but I am a big fan of NOT being sick. Combine that with having type II diabetes and you can end up with a mix for unhealthy living.

One of goals for the new year is to exercise more and we all know how hard it can be to stick to your New Year's resolutions.  You wait with baited breath for January 1st to roll around and start out with enthusiasm only to lose steam as the days go by.

In order to avoid falling by the wayside I decided to get a jump start on the road to health and begin right away. Enter the 30 day walking challenge from My Fitness Pal.

I have always been a great fan of Leslie Sansone's walking videos and have fond memories of breaking a sweat walking miles and miles at home with my sisters, but after having four children somewhere along the way those dvd's began collecting dust!

So yesterday I loaded up the doubles stroller and headed to the park with my two babies and 5 year old and we power walked it for about 20 minutes to reach the first goal of 2,000 steps!  When I finished I wanted to high-five somebody but my 5 year old son was only interested in taking a break after running around the park continuously with his dump truck. Oh, well.

If you have been making excuses, now is the time to "Get up and get moving!"

Head over to My Fitness Pal today and start your journey to better health!

Gotta run walk, the park is calling my name!
