Hearty Habits #21: A Mother’s Secret
Robyn Tippins of Inside Motherhood has one of the healthiest lifestyles I’ve seen in a while. She’s setting a great example for her four kids!
I don’t drink or smoke and I exercise daily (either pilates or on the treadmill). I taught pilates for years so this is usually what I do when I am watching TV. I listen to podcasts when I run.
I don’t eat as healthfully as I used to, but I’m breaking one bad habit at a time now. Maybe soon can get off of Diet Coke (it’s my worse habit right now)… I am careful to take my vitamins/supplements daily and I try to make sure my diet is balanced 40-30-30, but it rarely is. I try to eat whole foods when at all possible.
Like Jeremy I make sure I don’t sit for more than an hour at a time on the PC. My short attention span helps here… I also spend every morning at a coffee shop to write and to recharge my batteries.
Wow, a teacher of pilates! I’m not even sure if I’m capable of being a student. ;)

LOL Pilates is much easier than it sounds. If I couldn’t do it in front of my TV I probably wouldn’t do it at all, honestly. Plus, my kids love to crawl all over me while I work out. Occassionally they give it a try too.
It’s probably the perfect workout because it improves your posture, flexiblity and makes you look long and lean as well (at 5′3″ I’ll take anything that helps me look taller LOL).
Thanks for the post. :)
