Today I tried exercising with all my children home and that was not quite as successful. Child #2 thinks I look funny when I punch and child #3 thinks my arm exercises look like flying and says "Stop Flying Mom!" while I do them. And with constant distractions (for example I discovered pee on my family room carpet) my workout was not quite as productive as I would have liked. But I did it. That counts. Those 30 minutes, unlike cleaning the toy room, will not be undone two minutes after I finish.
Today it was really, really hard for me to take those 30 minutes for me. My house is out of control. But then I remember that my weight is out of control too, and I will be spending ALL DAY working on my house and working for my children. I deserve those 30 minutes.
I feel good about how I've been eating the last two days too. However, if Caroline keeps following me around saying "Moooooom" (you know, with the whiny tone that travels up a fifth in pitch) all day, I am going to be sorely tempted to hit some high-sugar carbs. Help!!!!!
I like to use strategically placed head phones with music from Pandora just for me. It makes it so I can still hear my kidfos, but takes the edge off the wine ... keep up the good work! One day at a time.
ReplyDeleteI love that idea! Thank you.
DeleteOh, and also it might just be that you need to drink more water when you increase your activity level. And maybe eat more oats/oatmeal. I had day last week that I worried I didn't have enough for my little one, but it was after being out all day without my trusty water bottle. Eating right is important, but so is Hydration :)
