Can’t believe it’s already the 10th week since I joined Mamavation and started my weight loss journey. Anyway, this post is not just about me. I’m here to give an update on my family as well, since this is the fitness family series.
As you can see in the picture, my kids just started their figure skating class. They have been rollerblading around the house since January, from the time they get off school to bedtime. They don’t wanna use their slippers anymore, it’s all they wanna wear around the house. I don’t have hardwood floors so I just let them. It’s another way for them to stay active at home. Now, that they’ve been used to it already, they want to take it to another level, and begged that they try figure skating.
They haven’t been to any class after my 8 year old quit taekwondo (she was on the hi-black belt – the belt that’s before the black belt, grrrr) last year and my 5 year old followed. So I figured, why not.
Now here’s what’s new on my end. Hubs has finally finished building my treadmill desk (thanks to Kim of @mentallyinked for inspiring me). Yay!
I have been able to do my 10K steps for three days this week. Squee! So happy with it. My goal for next week is just to start my work from the treadmill everyday (except Mondays when I have to be at work), continue with the family’s healthy eating habits, and with the EA Sports Active six week challenge, and support my kids with their new figure skating endevor.

That’s great how active your kids are as well as you. It really inspires me to get/keep my kids active throughout the day. I was thinkng about roller blades for the kids and wondered if they’d be too young, but they could start out on the carpet in the house to learn and that would slow them up. Thanks for the idea.

Your desk looks great!! You’re inspiring about helping your children out with their endeavors. My 3yo keeps asking about getting back into tumbling and I’m dragging my feet because I’m trying to somehow work it into our schedule, but you’re right, I just need to make it work so she can have fun and be active! Thanks for all your support in health journey of me and my family!
