Thank you Jimmy Fallon!

I am too old to stay up and watch the funny late night shows. Instead, I watch clips on Facebook while I should be doing productive things :) I watched Jimmy Fallon and Carrie Underwood do the Fit of the Fittest challenge the other day. 

One of the challenges looked like hopscotch with 3 rows across instead of just one box combined with Twister. So, on a gorgeous (almost) spring day, my daughter and I went outside and I tried to recreate his game. I used words instead of pictures to make it easier.

We ended up laughing our butts off, falling over and having a grand ol' time. Who knew dollar store sidewalk chalk and a knock off Fallon game could create so much fun!? We will definitely be doing this again. I mean, why not?!

And, low and behold, it poured rain all night so I was unable to take pictures. All I know is that we had fun outside together with minimal effort. And that's all that counts!

Piyo

My plan was to do a quick Piyo workout on Youtube. Then my daughter decided to join me. And she liked it, so we did MORE. I hate working out sometimes. Sometimes I love it. When I can't get to the Y for a Zumba class or a spin on the bikes, I like Youtube. You never know what you will find. 

My sister-in-law introduced me to Piyo. It's you and a mat. And it hurts so good because you work at your own pace and can make the workout easier or more difficult with resistance. So after the 20 minute workout, my arms were burning and my shorty yelled, "More!" We then did a 15 minute video. Now my arms and legs are sore, but my kid was happy and we did something fun and productive together without heading out and about with everyone and their coughs, sniffles, and sickness. 

I am sad to see my baby girl grow up, but she is so fun. We workout better together than me verses a trainer because I want to show her how to do things correctly, so I have to focus and try! We get to laugh and have fun, too, and after a long day at work that is all that counts. Look at those baby muscles!

Have you noticed that your fridge ends up with a stash of "I want that" items? Now, we do a pretty good job of shopping and watchi...
