Otherwise I never get to do anything. Too complicated and expensive to get to the dance classes I used to do, and my son's too young for scooting in public/swimming without me. Must get motivated to get back to exercising in the morning, otherwise my diet will be pointless.Emma Tustianhttp://www.bubbablueandme.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722980241375072127.post-72187249080702802232013-01-28T10:56:28.257+00:002013-01-28T10:56:28.257+00:00I do know mums that run with buggies but they do n...I do know mums that run with buggies but they do need to be robust ones!Lakes Single Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908716535401796186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722980241375072127.post-68775949736129598882013-01-28T10:55:46.000+00:002013-01-28T10:55:46.000+00:00Yes I must do more things with Wii with kids, load...Yes I must do more things with Wii with kids, loads of games that involve exercise we can all do together.

The children play in the park and I run round the pitch, we are both always in sight of each other and with a few games of tag or similar thrown in I'm running a lot more than I thought I could!PippaDhttp://www.amothersramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722980241375072127.post-87956030176860830342013-01-28T07:27:20.013+00:002013-01-28T07:27:20.013+00:00I hope someone has some brilliant ideas!

I have a 17 month old, as well as two bigger ones, OH gets home too late for classes, weekends are hard to find time for a regular class without stopping family days out etc. Considered running with buggy, but not sure my old bone rattler is up to my jogging with it! Recently lost some weight, but would like to tone up and lose a bit more, also need to counterbalance the biscuit addiction somehow!! <br />Good Luck with your endeavour!
