Right now it is 11:00 a.m. I am still in my p.j.'s sitting on my bed with my 6 month old not so happily playing next to me, and my three year old bouncing around the room. What I would really like to be doing is sweating my butt off (hopefully literally).
I've been waiting since I sent my 3rd grader out the door this morning to school to have my workout, but princess baby is not cooperating. So here I am sitting here feeling sorry for myself. I have obligations later today and tonight, and this is pretty much it. If I can't fit it into the next couple hours it's not going to happen.
I love that I'm a mom. But I hate the fact that I don't have any time that is just for me. Unless the baby falls asleep, and the toddler is occupied, I spend every second caring for them. Usually I try to do two workouts a week at night, so Mr. Handsome can help, but that won't work tonight, or tomorrow night, so here I am trying to beg, borrow or steal enough time to take care of myself. I would easily take my 3 yr old to the daycare at the gym, but I don't feel like I can take my 6 month old yet.
Gotta run. My little angel is fussing. :)
I have to go to the gym at 5am if I want to get my work out in. I can use the gym daycare but it costs money that I don't have.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck getting your workout in!
I know how you feel, I finally had to accept the fact that at-home workouts were the only kind I'd ever have any chance of getting in, and so have invested in things I need for those.

Oh yeah, I remember the days. I don't think mothers are given enough credit for the jobs we do...although it's the most fulfilling thing for sure. Kiss your little angel for me!
ReplyDeletedo situps with the baby in a bouncer beside you...and get a sling and a couple of walk away the pounds tapes...you will be sweating in no time. Who needs weights when you have a baby strapped to you.
