I've been so busy preparing to host our first Christmases in our new house, that I haven't had much time for anything else. Every spare moment has been spent shopping for the girls, wrapping, cooking, cleaning and baking. I realized this weekend, when our first set of family arrived, that I actually had some free time to go workout! If it's the holidays and you are a Mom, chances are that everyone else is holding your baby and playing with your kids. If that's the case, then I highly recommend sneaking away for a 30 minute run or quick workout outside. You will feel so much better and I bet with everything going on, no one will even notice that you've disappeared!
Yesterday I went on a cold weather snow run with my sister outside around my neighborhood paths. Snow runs always sound so miserable in my head, but after I put on my cute cold weather running gear, and get moving, I usually end up feeling really warm and good after my run is complete. Yesterday we went 3.47 miles and then today I ran 2.5 miles by myself. It was slick and icy in some spots, so it was a little stop and go, but a great workout nonetheless. Plus, I got to wear my awesome new Lululemon running gloves that also allow me to control my iPhone and iPod while running (Thanks, Krista!)
I'm definitely going to take advantage of family being around to entertain the girls and try to sneak in a few more snow runs outside. Then, I won't feel so guilty for all the treats I've been indulging in!
