Exercise & Nutrition

We all dread the words "Exercise! Exercise! Exercise!" for many reasons. Some times, because we can't actually exercise. Some times because our schedules are dramatically disrupted. Some times because all the noise prevents a good night's sleep. Even meal times can suffer dramatically.

Often, with our spouses working over dinner time, there just doesn't seem to be much point in taking the time to cook a carefully planned and nutritious meal. But, for the past two exercises, a friend and I have been swapping meal time responsibilities. Assuming there are 4 nights that dinner needs to be provided, each family takes the job of cooking a complete meal for both families for 2 nights. The kids get to play. We get to chat through one of the most draining times of day. And, we all get to eat a good meal without wasting food. I REALLY wish we'd thought of it sooner!

So next time you hear our 3 favorite words, partner up with some friends and get cooking!
