Mamavation Monday: How to keep Active

BLOGGING CARNIVAL: This week’s blogging carnival is sponsored by Mamavation.
One blogging carnival participant will receive $25 VISA gift card.

 How do you keep yourself active, when you really don’t feel like working out ?

Well it seems as if we just jumped straight from winter right into summer around here & let me tell you that I LOVE this weather.  But with the warm weather comes the lack of wanting to workout.  I just want to stay outdoors all day with the kids, and yes I am active during that time.  It may be hanging wash out on the line, playing tag or soccer with my girls, or taking them on a nature walk down one of the trails that we have around our area.  I try my best to keep active the entire time, but as we all know kids seem to have an abundance of energy & us mommies can get worn out rather fast.  

However, I am not as easily motivated if the weather isn't as nice, such as rainy days.  I try my best to not become a couch potato on those days & let me tell you that is not always easy.  One of the things the kids like that we do if it is a rainy day we build forts & go "camping" in the living room.  Other wise I try to stay active on rainy days by doing the housework & helping the kids make crafts, which generally causes me to have to re-clean the house again.

  1. The kids run circles around us....that is until we want the walks to actually be a workout then they are normally dragging behind or getting winey. LOL

  2. I hear on the weather. I feel like we skipped spring and jumped straight into summer. This is the time where i love being outside talking walks with my kids or bringing them to the park. Have a great week.
