To do my exercise for the week I take the kiddos to the park and walk/run while the kiddos are playing. Our park has a walking track built around the play area and meanders around for awhile. It’s quite pleasant to walk. I only do the small section that goes around the play equipment because the older brothers tend to forget to watch their younger sister. This way I’m able to keep an eye on the toddler.
The only drawback is I’m going in a small circle over and over again. I usually walk/run for thirty minutes and then we walk back home. This wouldn’t be so bad except we can’t find my mp3 player so I have no tunes to zone out to. I have to rely on whatever pops in my head; today it was “Old MacDonald Had a Farm”. I have no idea where that song came from. For the longest time it was “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” so I should be thankful for the change in songs.
Do you know what it’s like to be hitting the pavement trying to relax and enjoy the moment all the while “Old MacDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o” is going around and around in your head?! It’s enough to drive you insane so you spend the time trying to find another song only to come back to the same thing.
Meanwhile, the kiddos have found a smashed turtle and think hanging around it is more fun than playing so I have to coral them back to the play area. I’m back on track and pick up where I left off…e-i-e-i-o.
I met my goal. Here’s my weight.
Check out the other’s progress who are in the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the comment. By the way you are the ONLY commenter who actually understood the intent of my post. For that I am very thankful.
Hope your weight loss program gets to be a success!
You set the goal— You reached the goal!! Outstanding, in my book!
Oh and yes, it’s usually—And on that farm they had a PIG—that comes into my head—Makes me run faster
Have a great week!!
I know what you mean! I got “Oh My Darlin’ Clementine” stuff in my head on the treadmill once. Dreadful.
GREAT job hitting your goal! Looking forward to following your progress. You’ll be in the 100s in no time!!
