Help I Have Kids! Part 1, Exercise!

This blog is not for every one but if you have kids it is for you. What do you do with your kids to give yourself time. Time to exercise, time to eat better, time for YOU.

There has been a plaque in my home for many years that said "If Mama Ain't Their Ain't Nobody Happy". So what does it take for you to be happy. Good health, feeling good about yourself, your body, your mind, relaxation, you pick your desire. But if any of these good feeling involve exercise and eating better this blog will give you a couple of ideas.

What do you do when you take your kids outside to play? This is your chance you can also use this time to move with your children. They will love it that mom is playing and your body will love you because you are moving. Hop, skip rope, jog around the block, ride bikes. Get out there and participate.

Ok you are stuck inside now what. Throw on an exercise program on TV or a DVD and move with your children jumping all around you. How about putting on a CD and dancing around the house. Dance is a great way to burn calories and have fun and you are with your kids so no one care what you look like.

Make exercise a game and it will go faster, occupy time, be fun for everyone and create a lasting healthy impact for your family.

Dream, Describe & Do

Many people create career plans. We all have paths to take, through our education choices and plans, our family plans and choices into our careers and job selections. We get so busy with life and family that you put yourself on the back burner. This can create stress, unhappiness, fatigue, anger, resentment, weight gain or loss and more.

In this blog I am going to suggest you do something for only you! Take a few minutes, sit back, relax and dream.
