Exercise

So, this is one area where I've not been as faithful to the program as I should. I'm definitely getting better, though. And at least I've still lost weight while not exercising perfectly. The only down side to that is wondering where I would be if I had started the toning/walking program at the very beginning.

Oh well, no need to dwell on that. The best thing to do is figure out how to move forward. I've been walking with the kids at night. The first few times it was just me and Sean. Then Reagan joined in. And last Wednesday and Thursday we took the Conman in his stroller with us.

Thursday was a funny story actually. For some reason dinner was a little later than usual, but I still wanted to walk (plus the kids bug me about it all the time now). So we left a little after 8. This wasn't one of the interval walks, just a moderate paced stroll. Reagan now asks if it's a fast walk night or not! Anyway, so we head out as it's getting dark.

Apparently at one point I stepped on a snake in the road. I didn't even know I had done it but Reagan was behind me and let me know. I guess that means Connor's stroller must have crossed it as well. I'm sure it had been hit by a car bc when I turned around it was trying to move and not doing such a great job.

Long story short, if we had left just a few minutes later it would have been way too dark to be out walking with my 3 kids. As it was, we got back just in time. And of course the streetlight closest to our house was on when we left but had gone out inexplicably by the time we got home.

Note to self, go walking before 8pm!
