Exercise any where

This past weekend I spent the weekend with my family including my parents and my brother and his family too. We headed to the resort town of Whistler for some family time.

The great thing about a getaway in Whistler is it is easy to have fun and exercise at the same time. Although I did not hit the slopes skiing or riding, I still got to experience the great wintery outdoors. We walked as group to the local park pulling sleds, throwing snow balls and laughing until our sides hurt. We dug tunnels in the snow and ran around the townhouse playing hide & seek.

I even did stretching exercises with my mother before bed in the living room which gave everyone a laugh.

On again, off again

It's been on again off again this year. Since November 2010 I would say I have been off. My gym bag sat in my trunk the entire time with workout clothes and runners. The intention has been to run during a lunch break or something like that.

Excuse #1 I can blame it on an extremely busy holiday season along with a home purchase/move that left exercise and my healthier lifestyle on the back burner.

Excuse #2 my supply of PGX Daily softgels ran out. I know. It's not the first time. I really have no excuse since there are even sponsors on this blog who sell PGX! (They are not liking me right now.) I should implement some sort of automatic re-order or something.

Excuse #3 I am lazy? I have been so tired after waking up at 5:30 or 6 am with my kids.

Excuse #4 Christmas chocolates and baking.

So no more excuses, it is so on again. I weighed myself and I am at 192lbs. Yikes. Yesterday is was a 20 minute afternoon jog. Today it will be another jog with some stretching tonight.
