Working it out

Since becoming a mom I have not had the time to return to the gym. Between work & Adam there does not seem to be enough time in the day to fit that it. As crazy as it sounds, I miss going to the gym at 5:30 am with my friend Sam. We went for at least a year or more and as much as I hated waking up, I felt like I was accomplishing something. It was also so much easier with a partner and it was great be able to see her often. We were both working at the same goal, we wanted to be healthy moms.
Now it is difficult to find a balance between time for myself and time spent with Adam. It was much easier when I wasn't working because I spent all day with him and I didn't feel so guilty leaving in the evening for an hour. Now I am gone all day & the last thing that I want to do when I get home is leave again.
So I have decided to make working out part of my day in little ways. I am determined to make healthy choices everyday and stick with them. It is not about being skinny anymore, but about being healthy. I have started to walk at work. I slip on my tennis shoes, grab my ipod & go. Chris & I have been walking after work. The funniest thing is I have taken my little dumbells to work and I work on my arms all the while hoping that no one walks in & sees me!
In a perfect world, Sam & I woudn't have to work and we could get our little ones together & stroll around a park everyday. Oh well, instead I need to get creative and figure out ways to fit in working out in my everyday life. This should be interesting!
