PiYo

I started doing PiYo the other night.  It is an amazing work out that you can do at your own pace and it is fairly low impact. always moving and there are ways you can do the moves if you can't do what the instructor is doing. It is a great work out.  My Kids love doing it with me because it is much like yoga only more intense then yoga.

Pioneer Park

Today DD and I went to Pioneer park  walked just over 2.5 miles. Well, I walked and she rode in the stroller. I love the Map my run app. It is so handy to be able to know how far you have gone. Today was a good food day. Went shopping and got more fruit because we were out. I made a nice healthy dinner. I made Spaghetti but did not use noodles. I used Spaghetti Squash. My husband Loved it and said there was not much of a difference in taste between real noodles and Spaghetti squash. Take note though. my husband HATES SQUASH! its so easy to make and i will post it at the end for any one that is interested!!
