Getting by

I haven't been blogging much lately. Life has been super busy. I'm sure other people are super busy and blog, but for me that is the first thing to go. Anyway, I am very aware that exercise and good nutrition are important. I'm the kind of person who has a really hard time not eating yummy things, which means exercise is all the more important. ( I am good about eating fruits, veggies, and whole grains, it's just cutting out homemade desserts and ice cream is oh so difficult) Knowing you should do something doesn't make it easier, does it? Well it doesn't for me. I recently downloaded an app called imapmyrun and love it. I can track my trails and see how far and fast I'm going. I have always known we have a big yard but I didn't know how big. I mapped out my walk and it's about 5 laps for a mile. This evening is also another busy evening (grocery store, start dinner, walk/play with Gage, finish dinner, prepare Bible study, spend time as a family) so while boiling chicken and rice I spent 20 minutes doing laps around the yard. No it's not optimal, but I was moving. That's what my mom always says just get moving, something is better than nothing. Like the post says this is just getting by. Soon it will be light outside longer and I can have my trail back, but for now this is a good solution. If you need a track head on over; it even comes complete with built in hills!
