Lose 10lbs by the Holidays

Let's get pumped up for the lose 10lbs by holiday challenge! What can we do each day to ensure we hit this goal?

The exercise part will be the most difficult for me. I have a 5 year old that doesn't make a very good jogging partner. DH doesn't get home from work until 7PM, and my neighborhood isn't safe to jog in at night. I start work at 5AM, and there's no way that I'll get a workout in before work. I will have to find something to do around the house to get the exercise in I think.

When my kids were smaller, when I would watch tv or play with the kids, I would lay on my back and balance them on my bent knees and pretend they were on a horse. They loved it. I would hold there hands to keep them from flying off. Another thing I would do, when doing push ups I would tell them they had to crawl under me when I pushed up (I was the bridge, crane whatever) otherwise when I would come down they would be "squished!" Think outside the normal routine. There is a lot of sweat to be had. Good luck.
