Need some motivation?

A few days ago while walking to the park, Tyler yelled up to me "Run, Mommy, Run!" I replied, "I am not dressed to run. We are just going to the park to play today." His response was "I thought you want to lose some pounds. You need to run!" First of all, I guess I need to watch what I say around the little ones because even though their eyes are glued to the TV, they really are listening. Second, who knew a toddler could be so commonsensical? Lastly, why do people pay hundreds of dollars for a personal trainer? I can hire out my 3 year old to keep you motivated for half of whatever you are paying. So, anyway, I took into consideration Tyler's very valid point that these pounds are not going to just work themselves off and I broke down and bought me a treadmill. Today, I hit the (I was about to say pavement LOL) belt and I must say was quite impressed with myself. I ran a whole 6 miles in one hour! I thought it was pretty good, but Tyler kept shouting at me from the couch "Run faster Mommy! Look, like this." and then he would jump down and do a speedy lap around the room. I am telling you, if you need motivation I have just the guy for you!
