I need to remind myself that just because I'm a mom doesn't mean I don't have time for these 2 activities. I probably won't be able to go to Barry's Bootcamp on a Tuesday evening or try out different gyms (since I'm closely watching our budget and don't like to leave Kyle on the reg), but I definitely have time to fit in an exercise video or a jog with Kyle a couple times a week.
It's kind of hard when I try and fit everything I want to do into the window of nap time - especially when there's work to be done. And especially if I'm feeling extra tired (or lazy), sometimes the minute Kyle falls asleep I just want to sit and stare at the wall for 10 minutes.
When I was pregnant I started reading "Where'd You Go, Bernadette" by Maria Semple and I was LOVING it! I stopped at about 30% and now I think I need to start over because 8 months later I honestly can't remember what it was even about. I just remember loving the format - e-mails, letters and various correspondence strung together to tell a story. It was hilarious and so clever.
So today I'm reminding myself that just because I've gone without these 2 activities for the past 8 months (yes that's correct - I haven't worked out AT ALL since Kyle was born) doesn't mean this routine needs to continue. Starting tomorrow! ;)
