Stroller vs. Bike Trailer converted.

Walking to school yesterday led me to find that our used double stroller has been used to the max.  We bought it used which didn't bother us and we have put it to some good use too.  The back wheel fell off a couple of times.  Luckily, I was able to reassemble it without much effort so that I could get home. Today I used the bike trailer with the stroller bar attachment.  Not only was pushing the boys SOOO much easier in that, but I found that I was walking in a better position.  Standing more upright and able to tighten my core while walking was much easier.  So,  that will be our mode of transportation from now on.  It was a great walk and I really loved being able to feel in a better position and I have much more energy coming home today than I have when I was using the stroller.  It is going to be a productive day.  Stay Healthy!

I know, I know...

So it may have taken me forever to finally do what I have been saying I was going to do but it has started.  Granted my son is almost a year old now but there is a new change this year.  My oldest is in Kindergarten and her school is within walking distance.  So, everyday I push my sons in the double stroller and walk my daughter to school.  Roundtrip it's about a half hour and I push myself to walk faster on the way home to really get the blood pumping.  I have no idea of my weight at the moment because I can't find my Wii Fit disk for the Wii Fit board.  Once I find that, then I can start seeing improvements or not.  I could buy an old fashioned scale, but who really wants that lying around?  At least the board is used for games as well and therefore not intimidating.  I do know that I am back on Slim Fast as well.  It is nice to just have the shake in the morning and at lunch.  There is so much going on in the morning anyways, it shaves some time in the chaos of getting everyone ready.  So, the updates will ensue, as I try to get this weight off and looking better than I did in High school because my 10 year reunion is coming up next year.  Can't believe it's been 10 years already.  That's the update.  Here are some things I have noticed since walking to school, my skin seems to be more hydrated, not as dry as it once was and my rings are loosening up on good days.  Other days depending on the humidity, my hands swell after a work out but still, good things are on their way.  Happy Exercising!
