It snowed today! My children are so ecstatic - not only have they been outside to play, but they are keeping a constant vigil by the window to check how deep the snow is "now". You would think the amount of snow falling tonight would have direct impact on them attending school tomorrow!
Well, maybe not school, but walking at the mall will certainly be canceled if enough snow falls or the roads are too icy or...I think it is just to darn cold to walk to the car! (okay, maybe not the last one...)
Thankfully, I have a plan in place - walking at home. This plan is not ideal.
1 - It gets boring fast.
2 - The children do less walking and more "lets mess with mom while she is walking". They will try to hang on to me, impede my path, crawl between my legs, and etc... it is annoying, but I do try to keep it light and funny.
3 - Did I mention boring?
4 - Not enough space to get a really good momentum.
5 - Can be easily distracted.
Despite these drawbacks, walking at home is better than laying in bed all day, sitting around reading a book all day, staring mindlessly at a television or computer screen, and basically turning into a couch potato.
Nothing wrong with couch potatoes - I just don't want to be one anymore!
Here is hoping for another 30 minutes of walking tomorrow!!!
Ever think about a treadmill? Still boring, but better momentum.
