Say Yes to Sledding!

So being that biking outside is out of the question right now and I don't have a bike trainer I have to seek alternative exercises. Not that I have been very motivated to put in a tape and exercise to it but I am trying not to totally lose myself to the sedentary life of winter, as well as all the yummy comfort food. I mean, who can stop eating? So at the very least I try to take my kids outside to play. What better fun is there in the snow than sledding with kids? All the laughing, crying from snow in the face, then asking for more is just way to much fun. Not to mention how many times I have pulled them up the hill in the sled. One being 35 lbs, one is 25 lbs, and the oldest is 90 lbs. Now I don't normally pull the older one. Only on occassion and never up a hill. The other two I pull around all the time. Not just running around the front yard, but up the hill everytime. That certaingly gets my heart pumping! After about an hour of playing like that outside I am whooped! But it feels good and I think I got my workout in. So even though I can't seem to quit eating the food and I'm not motivated to do a regular exercise routine, at least I go sledding 3-4 times a week (and karate 2x). So I will sled on, my friends.
