If It's Good Enough for the Obamas...

I was in the doctor's office yesterday reading Web MD magazine, in which they did an interview with Michelle Obama. The first family has two routines that I love:

1. Bo Dance Party Night, where they turn the music up and get Bo all riled up as everyone chases each other down the hall. Michelle says its a great way to get everyone exercise together and that things get pretty sweaty!

2. Dessert on weekends only. You might be surprised to know that someone in MY house has dessert every single night. To be fair, it's between me and Chris. But I love the idea of setting up dessert as a special treat. If I know that Friday night is ice cream night, I'm going to be researching ice cream and gelato parlors as soon as Wednesday to plan how I will enjoy my treat. When treats are scarcer, research shows that we enjoy them so much more.

I already do a version of #1 -- Hip Hop Greyhound in da Club. Yes, Gracie mostly just stands there though I have tried to get her to do the moonwalk. But if I get her chasing me and the squeaky bunny, my heart rate is up in no time! Now, what to enjoy on Friday...
