Movement


I am amazed at how much food I have eaten in the last two days and the fact that I have lost two pounds doing it!  Part of it is that I am making better choices, both by type and portion, but part of it may just be the amount of exercise I’ve been getting.

It is easy to forget how much work young children are.  My daughter-in-law is almost always carrying close to a thirty-pound child in a front carrier.  If she doesn’t have the baby, she has the two year old there.  I don’t think I could do that, but I have carried one or the other and loved every minute of it.

I have also climbed up and down hay bales, in and out of climbing toys and just simply run around doing all those things one does when she goes out to eat and to the farm and the zoo with babies.  I woke up this morning stiff and sore and happy.
