Eli loves to swing. I mean LOVES to swing! He would swing for hours on end if I would push him for hours on end. The longest I've been able to go is 90 minutes. (Which I think is pretty darn long!) A lot of times I will take a book outside with me, sit and push the swing with one hand while I hold the book with another hand. But, sometimes we end up at the swings and I don't have a book with me. Early today was one of those times.

But, I had a revelation. (Desperate times call for creative measures!) I figured out that if I turn backward and push the swing from behind I can get a really great upper arm workout! How awesome is that?!? (I've been noticing that my upper arms are starting to take on that old-lady-jiggle. No offense to any old ladies who have that jiggle, but I would like for you to keep it and for me to not get it!)

So, that's my revelation of the day. Yes, I lead a pathetic existence. I know. Sad, but true. (But, I can feel the burn, baby!)
