This morning I got up wanting to get back on track with exercise. I have had a love hate relationship with it for some time. I love it for how it makes you feel and hate it for the waste of time it seems to be. Let me clarify...I feel I could be doing so many other things when I have some time to myself, not that it is a waste of time for your health. Do you follow? Anyway for that reason I only want to exercise while my kids are sleeping. I suppose that is why I have been going to a gym because it gives me a break from my kids and they love it as well. But I have not done any exercise outside of the gym. I have wanted to for a long time since I have the equipment and I make it for one week at the gym and then off one due to kids getting sick.
This morning I went for it and since I can't get up before my girls they were there with me all the while...well at least megan who pulled up a chair and hung out with me. It made me laugh. Just thought that I would share with you what it was like for me. Enjoy!

better than my excercise today in the rain with my kids in the double jogger crying and getting wet!
love the orange polk dot chair.
hey i bought one of those real simple things you posted the other day at target.
anxiously awaiting your creation, i will post mine when i am done too.
That's pretty cute of Megan. Did that work okay for you or was she bugging you to get off? If it works, then that's better than using your precious naptime isn't it?
I love these pictures, Amy. The things we do to get our exercise (or scrapbooking, or whatever it may be). Good for you! I have been in that same place before. At least Megan wasn't CLIMBING onto the treadmill, that kinda puts a damper on things. Very impressive. I usually give up when exercising at home. It typically consists of me and my yoga mat. The kids come in to wherever I have attempted to seclude myself and they say,"Can we do it too? Mom, we want to exercise!" I feel like I can't discourage it, so I usually instruct them on kiddie yoga and we get some very funny poses. Maybe I will take pictures next time.
that sounds familiar too! wish I was working on letters or journals or reading...but still want to do the excercise before the boys wake up! and then feel...I can relax now and then exercise at night watching my show...but feel too tired by the end of the day! started walking again at 6:00 AM with the double stroller....gosh pushing 52 pounds plus the stroller...wow! and leaving my house it is either up hill first or down hill later...but hills nevertheless!
good for you!
ps. i tried doing my arm weight video....and alexei had to use the 3 lb ones, which made me feel anxious...since they could be quite heavy after a while, and I had the 5 lb ones and keep running into his little head....enough! quit that for a while until I find space and 1 lb weights for him
