We’re a week into the Active Families Challenge and doing ok – I’d be interested to put on a pedometer for my ‘at home with the kids’ days and compare my activity levels with ‘work sitting on butt in office’ days.

This week we’ve done walks to the playground, I’ve done a group walk (with trainer) at work at lunchtime, gone to the gym and been to the pool with the kids. Superhubby has mainly done walks in the evenings and the kids have run about at creche and kinder, walked, played and swam.

My trip to collect two kids from creche started as a 7 min walk to get there (me pushing a stroller) and took about 40 mins to get back (our 2 year olds love to walk for themselves), including an unavoidable stop at the playground. Not exactly efficient, but probably better all round than hopping in the car.

Let’s see what next week brings – hopefully lots of beach time during the Easter break, weather permitting.
