Really, I'm not just lazy.............

I have been thinking lately about how difficult it is to exercise.... I always start on Monday and think "I totally am going to exercise this week" and then all of a sudden it's Friday and I haven't done anything! I get up way to many times a night with the baby to get up any earlier than is necessary to get the girls ready for school, so I can't exercise before everyone gets up. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays I work, and I have to have my hair done in the morning because I don't have time later so I can't exercise during the day or I'd have to shower and then ruin my hair. Thursdays I have dance, so I guess I do exercise at least on Thursdays. If I try to exercise after Jason gets home from work, we end up having a chaotic night trying to fit everything in before the girls have to go to bed. I have tried to exercise during the days I don't work.......let me tell you how that went. I set Ava up watching her shows on TV, put Corrine in the bouncer in the exercise room and hop on the treadmill. I start running, she starts crying. I hop off the treadmill, leave it running so I can just hop back on, give her her binky, hop back on and repeat 6 times. I give up, turn down the treadmill and hold Corrine while I walk fast. By then, Ava's shows are done and she goes upstairs to find me. She can't find me because I am not upstairs, and FREAKS OUT because she doesn't know where I am. I finally give up; exercising doesn't seem to be in the cards today. So there it is, I really am not lazy; I'm trying!

I can TOTALLY relate! I have a treadmill and have similar things that come up and stops me from exercising. (Although I don't have a baby waking me up in the middle of the night!) We're all in this together!
