And now, I will talk trash to some snow.

My inner monologue/pre run pep talk this morning:

What's that, snow? Oh, you think you are making it hard to get out and exercise?
You think just because you're all cold and slick and slushy that I'm not going to want to get out and MOVE?

Well, I think you're just a bunch of frozen precipitation preying on me through weather man scare tactics.

What?
Yeah, I heard you slipping off my roof.


I think it's time we took this outside.



What's that?
I didn't think so.

I got cabin fever...

and the only prescription is GETTING THE FREAK OUTSIDE AND MOVING!!!
Seriously. When I get antsy in the house, NO ONE wants to be around all that drama.



My cure is moving my legs and achieving a destination then returning to the comfort and warmth of my home. Today, my husband and son joined me. (the Mr. walks on the treadmill or around our neighborhood almost every morning- new year's resolution= new life change).



Guys- let's have a great week. Let's get out EVERYDAY for 30 minutes and when we can, longer.
I would love to hear how you are doing!
Sarah B.- OUT.

Winter Shminter

It is snowing, and I do NOT want to get out and drive in this mess:



However, I DO have a treadmill. Or, as my friend Jenn calls it, the "dreadmill."
But it only works if you get on it. After blogging away the morning and playing in the snow with my two-year-old, I thought I had stalled enough (and I read the previous post for a little more inspiration)...

So whaa whaaa- what is 30 minutes on the treadmill? I started off walking while talking on the phone (a breeze!)...



Don't have a dreadmill or any other gym apparati in your home?
FEAR NOT! Chances are GOOD that you DO have google. Isn't this true?????????

I googled: "creative, at home exercise."
I found:

(click to see awesome tips such as five-minute clean, counter top push ups and jumping jacks!!!!)

Now I know it is cold outside or it is dreary or it feels better to watch a movie today instead of finding time to fit in some exercise, but really, you have no excuse. And besides, won't you feel better? (you already know the answer to that)

Oh, and jumping jacks are FUN to do with your kids, which encourages them to move, too!!
Or also fun for entertaining your significant other, cats... you get the picture.

Nah, it's not that cold out!

And now, for a winter pep talk! Coming to you at 27 Degrees Fahrenheit!!!
