It’s a challenge everyday to fit everything in! As a mom of four, I am forever busy! We are always on the go to lessons, practices, classes, etc. etc. Add that to shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc. etc…WHAT ABOUT ME?! I wake up most everyday, put on my workout clothes and hit the ground running. I don’t often get my workout done in the morning…I’ve never been a morning person. I also have always had some low blood sugar issues, so I feel like I can’t workout until I’ve eaten a little something. By the time I eat and digest…the morning window of opportunity has passed. I usually end up fitting it in after dinner. The kids are busy playing with friends or busy doing something…and it’s my opportunity to have about an hour to myself. I truly enjoy my workout time, because it’s the one hour a day where I truly just focus on ME! It’s the one time of day I ask the kids to let me have the space and time to get it done. I like to put on my headphones and focus on the tasks at hand. When I’m done…I’m re-energized and ready for the evening routines: getting kids ready for bed and such. And finally…I can relax and spend some time with my husband, review the busy day, plan for tomorrow, or watch a game or some news on t.v. I feel better and sleep better when I carve out that “Me”-time, and everyone in my family benefits from it! Trust me.
