Day 1

I love going for long walks outside, it is my favorite way to workout. One problem, I live in Wisconsin, and around this time of year walking outside can become rather ... unpleasant. For this reason I tend to be pretty bad at working out in the winter, so this winter I am going to try something new. Everyday I will try to come up with a new way to get moving every day until next spring and I can return to walking. And I will write about them here.

Day 1: When was the last time you played leap frog? Today I decided to play leap frog in my living room. I should explain I have a nice long living room, so I was able to "hop" across it about 4 times before reaching the other side. Only problem I didn't have anyone to play with. The cat wasn't really getting the concept when I tried to explain it to her. So, instead of leaping over her and getting my eyes scratched out, I taped a string to the back of my shirt that would trail along the ground as I hopped, then I hopped across the room as fast as I could trying to make it to the other side before Jazmyn caught the string. At first I was winning, succeeding in making it across the room before she caught me more times than I failed, but she won the last 24 of the 50 crosses. We both had fun though and now I have just enough time to clean up before sitting down for a new episode of Castle!

Happy Monday All!
