How to Burn Off Post-Holiday Weight Gain
One of the difficulties with post-holiday weight gain is that it happens to come about in the middle of winter. This is not an inspiring time to get out and move. The weather is often cold and wet, and the mornings and evenings are dark. It’s tempting just to hibernate and wait until spring to get in shape.
The trouble is that excess weight may get harder to lose the longer it’s on, and you might get used to it. So take advantage of the timing – it may be the middle of winter, but it’s a new year, and that’s a good time for a healthy weight loss program. Here are some tips for burning off that holiday weight.

Very young children seem to be a ball of perpetual motion. However, the older they get the less likely they are to stay active.

Parents also don’t feel allowing their child to play in the neighborhood is as safe as it once was.
Stress, Depression, and Exercise
As I have mentioned before that I am Bi-polar more on the depressed side then manic. I went to the Dr yesterday for a check up and all was the same as it has been she did give me something to help me sleep since I haven’t been sleeping. I haven’t been sleeping because of stress from my son. Something that is not much discussed he is also bi-polar and it seems that he has been stuck in a manic/rage state the last few months. We was evaluated and found that he possibly has aspergers syndrome we are looking more in to that with his Dr. So yea things have been stressful here with him and the other kiddos driving me crazy but it will be ok.
