Drip drip drop

I wish I were singing the song in Bambi to April showers, but instead I'm singing it to the Texas heat. Another day over 100 degrees and what do I do? Exercise outside. Yup. After this post I might have to peel myself off my suede couch.
Why would any sane person go for a walk, pushing a stroller, when it's tipping the 100 degree scale? Good thing I'm not terribly sane.
My friend had a baby a few weeks before myself and we are both wanting to get back in shape. This is my fourth baby and this is her 6th delivery (she has twins). So a little crazy lives in the both of us.
It's actually quite fun... minus the heat. Our little boys both bike while we push our babies. We chose to walk through our bike trail in our neighborhood and then stop at the swing set again. We were outside for about an hour.
So, drip drip drop.
The great thing about exercising while dieting is they go so well together. I am more motivated to exercise when I'm dieting and more motivated to diet while I'm exercising. This morning I had my Herbalife shake with chocolate almond milk (instead of regular milk), and a banana. So far it is my favorite combination. Have you had Chocolate Almond Milk? It is so very tasty. Thanks, Mom, for introducing us! I like adding ice also.
I am quite pleased with how full and with energy I feel with my shake. I think this week would have been a lot more difficult if I had been starting my day with a bowl of cereal.
So, thank you Herbalife. And thank you my crazy walking partner.
Now it's time to wash off this sweat!

  1. Oooh, now I'm stalking you and stuff! How nice is that?
    My baby is almost 13 months and this year has been a roller coaster. I ran a half marathon in April but was immediately sidelined afterwards because I injured myself (note: APPARENTLY you're supposed to strength train when you're running. I knew this but decided to be lazy. And then paid for it).
    Anyway, can you email me the info about Herbalife? I'm excited to watch your transformation and I hope it motivates me. I'd love to ditch 15 or 20 pounds and feel great again.

  2. I'm excited to watch my transformation as well! It's pretty exciting to track my efforts. It's something I've never done before and I'm hoping it helps me as well as inspires others. I think, especially as women, we tend to think we are the only ones that think things or feel things or experience things, so I thought it might be nice for other people to see how imperfect, flawed, and just hard it is for someone, like myself, to obtain a weightloss goal.
    Here's my hubby's site you can go and check the product out. I don't know a ton about the product myself. I'm kind of learning as I'm going. https://www.herbalhealthdirect.com/winningimage
