I’ve always tried to keep pretty active and work out when I can, but like most people, I have my ups and downs.
Recently has been pretty down and for a few weeks now I haven’t done much as far as exercise. I’ve gone through different phases of exercise. For a long time I ran and lifted weights at the gym, then I went through a time that all I did was run, then I got really into Pilates, then hot yoga was my preference. These days the easiest thing for me to do consistently is work out at home. I can have some flexibility and don’t have to make sure someone else is watching the baby. So, as I mentioned, it’s been a few weeks since I was active but I decided that today I was getting back into a rountine. I set up my weights, my resistance bands, my iPad with my workout plan and a podcast. I got my glass of water ready and changed my clothes and went into the spare bedroom in our house. I stretched a little bit and got started with my first resistance circuit. I felt great, as I always do, and try to remind myself. I was feeling like this is the start of getting back into a groove. As I started my second circuit, I heard my husband yell “Hey come help, Kellan threw up!” And that was my work out.

At least you got a start! I always think the hardest thing is starting back on Day 1. I always have so many excuses for not getting to it.

Your win today was starting your routine.

Good on ya for getting back to it! I'm in the 'trying to get back into the habit' phase at the moment, too. But I don't have a baby that needs me. Keep it up!

The best laid plans....as a mom with a little one those plans will often get interrupted. I'm so sorry he got sick. I hope he's starting to feel better already.

I wasn't expecting that ending to your slice. I was startled, jest as you must have been.

Perfect snapshot of how moms never put themselves first! I am so impressed that you can workout at home. It just doesn't pan out in my house b/c of my proximity to kids. They always find me!
