Did I exercise today? Definately!

I didn't make it to the gym today. My goodness, I think it's the first time in 2 months I haven't gone! I felt guilty not going, but we had a picnic to go to at noon, and I had to work a few hours this morning (for my work-at-home job). So, the gym was out.

And I made sure when we got to the gathering that I didn't overeat. One hot dog, and about a half cup of cole slaw. I brought fruit along for Saxon, and popped a few strawberries in my mouth too. I figured if I was going to be sitting around, I should conserve my calorie intake for something healthier than chips. (even though they looked sooooo good)

As it turned out, Saxon never let me sit down! What was I worried about? I moved the entire 3 hours we were there. I walked across the park a few times to the jungle gym area, and carried his sweet 45 pound butt a few times too. I may not have burned the same calories I might have if I spinned today, but I bet I burned at least a couple hundred.

And really, its not so much about the number for me. It's more about how I feel knowing I got some exercise in today. It's such a mental thing for me. 

And tonight, I'll put the little buddy on my legs, lay on the floor and lift him up and down. He loves flying like an airplane, and I love playing with him!
