Thanks to five family birthdays in the last 30 days, I feel like a big piece of cake.  Thankfully, I did not put any weight back on, but  I do feel like I have lost most of my muscle tone I was working towards.

This past week we, as a family, have been walking.  A lot.  Since J is back at school, I am back to my twice daily walks to school and back. However, he goes in a closer door so it doesn’t seem like as much of a walk as the last two years.

We were also going for nightly walks while Opa was here, and kept it up the last two nights. Although tonight was much longer than we anticipated so we may have two grumpy kids tomorrow.  Today, I was able to go for an extended walk after dropping J off too.

I haven’t been getting much in, strength training wise, but hope to change that tomorrow with a new routine that I have found.  A couple of different exercises to shake things up.  Hubby has been keeping up and doing well with his workouts, which is why I also feel like a piece of cake, since he is getting all buff and I am melting down.

Oh the motivation.
