Putting the fun back into exercise

Sunday is a good day to have a rest of exercise, sometimes during the week doing it every day gets a bit boring and sometimes you just can't be stuffed doing it.

So today was supposed to be our rest day, both Elf Man and I burnt up a good amount of calories yesterday on the cross trainer so we didn't really want to do much today.  So instead, we took the kids down to the "park" and had some of their balls and just kicked them around and ran after each other.  Other than Speedy and Bubbles being clingy for some of it, I had a really good time.  We also did a lap around the oval (because it wasn't really a park with swings, just a running oval with lots of space) and that was difficult to do whilst holding Speedy's hand!  It actually felt good just to be silly and run around and kick a ball, and not be concerned as to how many calories I was burning.

In fact, it felt so good - we decided to do it every week as a family.  Hopefully it will bring us closer together as a family too.

So that was our exercise for today, tomorrow its back to jogging/walking at 6am with my walking buddy!

Was also a weigh in day today (normal Sunday weigh in) and here are the results:

Current weight:  89.7kg (finally made it into the 80's even if its only just scraping in!)
Total weight lost:  10.3kg

Yah!  Go you big red fire engine!
