Happy Thanksgiving to you all.  WOW, Thursday’s meal was great…I thoroughly enjoyed the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pies, ice cream, etc…you name it and I likely had some ☺.  But, now that the big day and feast are mere memories it’s time to move those legs and exercise through it.  What our family is going to do is go on a hike.  As I’ve mentioned before, we live in San Diego, so thankfully the weather is letting us enjoy the outdoors.  We are going to all enjoy a hike together with some new friends.  I just recently joined a mommy’s group and a hike has been planned for everyone.  So, with our 2 year old strapped in the BOB and our 8 week old in the Baby Bjorn, my husband, dog and brother-in-law will join the rest of the group for the hike.  If you are able to do something similar, please remember to:
-    Pack plenty of water and a protein snack for you and the kids;
-    Apply sun screen and wear a hat (because even on the cloudy days the nasty UV rays are coming through, and to take it easy;
-    Exercise caution.  If you feel winded or pain of any sort take a break, sit down or stretch and when you’ve recovered give it another go;
-    Have fun and enjoy the time together as a family.

How did you burn off your Thanksgiving day feast?

Happy hiking,
Kim
