squat, stretch and reach
about a month ago i decided to get serious about fitting into my skinny jeans. well as serious as i can be when i just polished off a big piece of carrot cake.. but still it's time. i've been dedicated to going on long, fast walks every morning, and to be honest, it's starting to pay off. nothing drastic just yet, but i can tell a difference, and that feels really good.
today as i was in a very strange position between my car and the next, trying to get my daughter into her car seat without hitting her head on the car door, i realized that just doing everyday mommy things are definately a great workout. you squat 100 times a day, bend over to pick up the same toys 100 times a day, reach as high as you can to get that certain bowl off the tip top shelf, you hoist a 30 pound kid onto your hip to cross the parking lot, you lunge and dive to catch the glass of milk from falling onto the floor, you sprint across the room to stop her from picking up the cat by his tail. how is that not a great workout? so i think no matter what your size, caloric intake, workout routine, or what that wretched bmi scale says, we got muscle. buried somewhere in there. 3 comments from 3 users

I'm not so happy about my middle area, but my arms are awesome and that's because I lift my kid everywhere. It's definitely a workout! :)

I completely agree! Being a mom is a workout...especially picking up the same toy 100 times per day. Good luck on the skinny jean quest.

God, I hope so. I have totally given up on my skinny jeans. I would just be happy with a pants size in the single digits.
Sometimes when I am on conference calls, I do squats in my office. ;-)
