The Stairmaster (Blair)

’m not a huge recipe buff - sorry ladies, I’ll contribute when I can but cooking is not my strong point. Don’t get me wrong….I am able to cook…I just don’t enjoy it. I’m also not very adventureous when it comes to trying new food things; however, I will try for your sake (and my family’s) to think outside the box of twinkies…oops….err… I mean grilled chicken strips.

Speaking of food, the kids and I went grocery shopping this morning (pay day - woohoo) and picked up lots of green and leafy stuff. Of course, grocery shopping is no small chore for us (I posted a bit ago about the fit my 2 year old threw in the store). Well, today they did better but the unloading had me in the fits of heavy breathing and dripping sweat. If this doesn’t count for exercise, I don’t know what does!

We are currently residing in a second floor condo in Kansas. The stairs are steep and there are 16 just in the set leading to the door (six others on the way to where I park). I made 5 trips up and down them carrying everything from a toddler to a gallon of milk. On the final trip I was ready to lay down in front of a fan and pass out. Of course it was lunchtime so that wasn’t an option. It’s things like this that remind me of why I want to be in better shape. To do the “little” things in life without straining and feeling wiped out. It’s very possible we could be moving out of this condo before or by the end of the year - I seriously need to get in better shape by then (thought I was going to die when we moved in the beginning of this month).alaska student loan advantage4.5 at loan percent 250,000collateral loans alaska$1500 loans paydaycalifornia albany loan officermilitary loans equity veterans 125and loans aes studentloan 456 educational interest studentexpress loan membership rewards americanprogram aes loan

1. Ummm. I think that all counts as exercise. And dealing with a meltdown should always be rewarded with a Coke. See how bad I am? Way to go on the green leafy stuff.

2. Ahem…Blair…remember - no profanity. Twinkie definitely counts! (hee hee)

   Yup - that was definitely exercise! And yes, you will be trying new foods! I have spoken!

3. You might do well with a raw foods approach where you cut, throw it together and crunch on it… LOL BTW, did you HAVE to say TWINKIE??? I need to go eat lunch. I have been bad in skipping eating while I am loading this trailer for our trip. That is exercise, right? *goes to kitchen to eat some lunch* - rats, it’s all in the trailer. I’ll have to go get it out to make sandwiches for us. *wink*
