It’s no secret that the Simpsons like their sweets. All of us. It’s also no secret that the girls hit the candy jackpot on Halloween. One of the things they got was a full sized 3 Musketeers bar. Nina asked the other night to eat it, and I told her that we’d probably split it up and she could eat it 1/2 at a time. She really wanted to eat the whole thing at once, so I half jokingly said, “sure, if you can run two miles,” and she took me seriously. So…the next day after school, Nina and Lyla went to the track behind their school and ran two miles.
I tallied off their laps with my clipboard (yes, I was working very hard), and after dinner they earned their full sized candy bar!! Since that afternoon, they decided they wanted to run two miles at least once a week. Last week they went back out and did it again and this week they plan to do it tomorrow. While they’re not getting candy bars each time, I’m glad that they’re doing it now to be healthy and keep active over the winter!
Speaking of being active, the family has joined me in practicing for one of the poses I needed to do for the newest Body Flow release that I had to teach. The pose is called Crow Pose, and it’s mostly a pose that challenges balance but it does take arm strength as well. I was the one who had the hardest time finding how to balance on my hands without tipping forward or back. Nina said she thought it was pretty easy, and that makes sense for her since she’s great at handstands. Lyla and Mark didn’t seem to have much of a problem with it either. Unfortunately, they weren’t the ones that needed to do it in front of a class, but finally I found my balance, and I was one happy bird!
