Weekly weigh in this morning and....back on track! Lost 2 1/2 pounds this week, and I'm down to 210. Finally got time to exercise. I didn't work on Thursday, so I took the kids down to the health club we belong to. Except I didn't "work out" as one would expect. They have an indoor waterpark, so we swam for about 45 minutes. We then played racquetball for almost 30 minutes (and if you've ever play racquetball with a 4 and 6 year old at the same time: there is a lot of running, ducking, jumping and just plain old survival skills needed). Finally, about 40 minutes of ice skating. Yeah, I could have dropped the kids off at the child care area and spent and hour and a half on the treadmill, but where's the fun in that?
Sounds great. I'm sure the workout you got was just as good if not better than the treadmill would provide. Spending some quality time playing with the kids probably made it much more enjoyable and made it seem less like a workout.
From the sounds of things from the raquetball game, I just have to say, I hope you were smart enough to wear a cup!
