    Hey all! I'm currently a stay at home mom since being laid off a couple months ago so the bulk of the work around home is mine since I'm here most of the day. On top of that I have (almost) 3 year old triplets to chase after. We play "chase" around the house to get my steps in...lol...and they think I'm crazy but that's ok...lol. I try to fit in an at-home workout after they go to sleep at night. I use YouTube workout videos and either body weight, small hand weights, or kettle bell. Feel free to add me to MFP, Fitbit https://www.fitbit.com/user/3DNTCR, or Instagram " whatatrip3 ". Love having like-minded friends for motivation!

    You are awesome! We'd love to have you join!

    I like to help keep it fun by playing "Just Dance" with my daughter. Man...that game is a workout! One of them has the option to "Just Sweat"...you really do sweat!

    My baby boy (18 years old) just came home with the college freshman 15. We have vowed to get each other out in the morning. It's nice to have company. :)

    Walking buddies are the BEST!

    Dog came with us too this morning but had to be carried part of the way. Carrying 19 pound dog - I should get extra calories :D

    I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one who marches in place while doing laundry! I also tend to dance every chance I get!! I have a memebership at a local recreational center that has a small fitness room. So my kids can play in there area while I get in a quick workout. It's dirt cheap which makes it pressure free. I work full time and can't always make it to the gym so why waste money on an expensive memebership? My primary source of working out is done in the comfort of my own home with my personal workout equipment such as a stationary bike, stability ball and hand weights. I also work with an online trainer through an app called Fitnet. Short workouts, can do them any time of day, it's flexible. Love it!!

    Going to YMCA camp with my daughter today on her 5th grade field trip. It will be a day of mountain biking, canoeing, zip lining, and walking. I can't wait to have fun with McKenna! <3

    The scale was up this morning from a late dinner out with the family...my son had a band concert and we went to Applebee's afterward. It was worth it though. I'll make up for it today :)

    Crazy busy at work. I am trying to keep moving. Took the dog for a long walk yesterday but he got a tick. They are horrible this year and he had the drops you put on them.
