Exercise–What’s That?
This week has been horrible for getting exercise. I was doing so well until my daughter got sick the end of last week. Since then, nothin! Wild weekend which I don’t usually plan on getting much in on the weekend. It is nice if I can, but I don’t stress about it if it doesn’t happen. Well, it didn’t. Oh well. Then with all the travelling over the weekend, I just didn’t have it in me to get up and go to the pool or fitness center. I should have made it this morning, but hubby is sick today. He is such a big baby. Cute as hell, but still a baby! 
So that threw my morning into a mess. My daughter told me that her music program is tonight. I asked what time. 6:45. Right during my water aerobics class. Thursday evening 6:00 is parent teacher conference.There goes the other water class! I just can’t win this week! I think I’m just going to grab the dog and go for a long walk tonight after the program! It will be the only way that my fat ass gets moving this week! I feel like I am slowly turning into a fat slug! This is not what I had in mind when I joined the Y.
I’m working on getting more organized this week. I have housework that has been ignored the past two weekends because of busy with other things. Nothing really gets done during the week past survival of the school and work schedules. I got caught up on the checkbook and bills today. I’m going to work in the housework along the way. I think part of my problem is the overwhelming feeling of not keeping up with everything in my life. I think I’m slowly drowning…
Regardless, I will be at the Y in the morning swimming my laps. This is crazy!

Life quickly does get in the way. Excellent reason for you to stick with early morning Y. (GRIN)
Overwhelming sucks dirty socks too. Make a list. Just make the list, okay? (grins again) Do one thing. Check it off. Do another. Check it off. It’s the only thing that works for me when I feel that way. Give a try… what you got to lose? (grins big as in “challenging you”).
Hugggggggggggggggs and love ya girl,

Life has a way of throwing us curveballs. Good luck with your exercise.
I am a list maker from way back. At least you can see what you need to do and then pick the worst to get through first, Just checking off a couple of things helps to clear my mind and stop the panic. Hope this helps you. Tomorrows list starts with the things I didn’t get to today. Sometimes I leap out of bed and add something to my list. Hang in there. Hugs, Marge
Sometimes I feel like I am just getting by by the skin of my teeth! Like I can barely get clean underwear on the kids and get them out the door and make it to work on time. Never mind extra luxuries like exercise or taking care of myself! So good for you for being optimistic and hanging in there! It’ll get better.
Hey slug, you’re forbidden from using the words “fat ass” when referring to yourself!! If you break this rule, you’re going to have to deal with me, woman!! I don’t approve of negative self-talk, not from anyone here!! Don’t you think society bombards us with negative messages about our weight? So why help them get us down when we’re already there kiddo? So what if you didn’t get to the gym this week? Go for a walk with the dog, but JUST DO IT!!
So……I am proud of you for not wanting to miss out on your children’s activities, but if you don’t take care of yourself, of your health, are you going to be there to watch them grow up, to watch them have children of their own? Who is going to be by your daughter’s side, soothing her, when she has her first baby? And if you are around, will the quality of your life be good enough for you to enjoy your grandchildren or will you be one more person your children will have to take care of?
Don’t misunderstand me, although my words may seem harsh, I am saying it with love in my heart, because it is CRYSTAL CLEAR to me, from reading your blog that you’re a wonderful mother, whose children are the upmost important priority in the world, so I appeal to the fact that you’re a gem of a mother….and the next time you feel like being a couch potato, think of your child and how not only does she need you for a long time, but how she needs you to be healthy!!
Ok, I said my piece and if you disagree, e-mail me!
This is why I do the workouts in the morning, life is just too crazy otherwise, Hang in there, you will get it!
