I just have to share my idea to not have road trips rick havoc with my exerciser routine. My husband has a work shop and the drive is about 6 hours. So sitting for 6 hours plus eating "out" is NOT good for the weight loss. So I am ridding along and we got sort of stalled in traffic. It was moving very slow and I told my husband I wanted to get out and walk along side. Of course that was not acceptable and I knew he was right as you never know when the traffic will start to move but.............. I started marching when I was sitting and would cross my arms one at a time sort of throwing it over my shoulder while we were driving!! I actually got a pretty good work out!!! I tried to do 10 minutes ever hour!! He asked me not to do it in stalled traffic because he was worried what others would think. I said To heck with it Let them call the funny farm cops!!!

Honestly my biggest goal in the weight loss is to motivate my husband. IF he sees how serious I am he will play along. So far it has worked. Instead of a berger and fries for lunch he chose a salad!! That is a first.
On the way home I am going to shoot for 15 minutes every hour. I can hardly wait to get home and see that I didn't gain to much!! LOL

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!
