Do you force it?

Snippy · Do you force it?

Do you schedule your workout in your day even when you really should skip it? My DH doesn't understand, but I'm so reluctant to give up my gymtime.

We're getting ready for camping this weekend, plus all the moving details, but I was going swimming this morning, it's only for an hour, right.

But little one somehow got pink eye back (we had it over the weekend but it was gone for a few days) and I can't leave him at the gym daycare.

Grrrrr. But, now I realize that I can really use that hour for other things.

But I'll probably go down and do the eliptical instead.

I wish I could get myself to that point!! I can easily talk myself out of working out, and then I feel like a bumm for not doing it...

This time of the year with school ending and all the functions/scouts, etc. its just too chaotic to get in much working out. Normally I do better but we've been so busy... If I'm doing stuff like yardwork hours on end, I consider that a workout. I still try to run a couple times a week to keep my endurance up (damn these running races over the summer!) but its REALLY difficult to fit in.

I understand exactly how you feel. I'm very reluctant to give up my gym time too. It took me so long to get into the routine of consistently working out, that I don't want to give that up! Not to mention it's a time where I don't have to think about all the stuff I have to do.

But when you can't take the kids, then there's nothing you can really do about it. I hope it's not for too long.

I had to skip mine today though. I have so much crap to get done for my youngest's birthday party this weekend.

Well, today I had the pink eye

And after all my talk, rather than hop on my eliptical and get some exercise at home, it've done little more than some yoga. And laundry. And laundry. And laundry.

I think that fitting any exercise in at any given time is worth its weight in gold! I missed so much during the time I coached softball! Now I am paying for it! Don't give up the gym time!

I make myself do it. Every day something comes up and i would never exercise if i didn't. I work 12 hours a day then come home and make diner and i try to do a little cleaning so i don't get behind and i throw 1 load of laundry in everyday. I don't know what i would do if i had kids. We have my step son every other day so that also means we drive 25 minutes to pick him up and 25 minutes back. Then by the time i have diner ready, we eat, and i get the kitchen back in order it is time to get back in the car and take him back. I have been staying home and my DH takes him so i have a free hour to hit my treadmill.
