more music.
more photography.
less fat.
seriously. i deserve to take the time for myself to work out. my main problem is i'm a morning person. if i don't get it done in the morning, i probably won't get it done at all. and straight up honest, i hate working out with the girls there. i don't like running, which is about the only thing i can do with them. do my 2 ft. long legs look like a runners'? nope. i love working out. i love strength training, aerobics, swimming, sports, hiking, and i could see myself doing any of these things on a regular basis.
but i really suck at finding babysitters. i hate asking people to watch my kids. i feel like it's the hugest burden ever. and i hate asking over and over. i'm already increasing my baby sitter asking with my photography and piano lessons (both of which are absolutely necessary seeing as how we're buying a house. we're ok w/o supplemental income, be we kinda go nutZo if we're not saving at least 10%, so i'm dedicated to helping us make that 10% to save... yada yada ... TMI)
babysitters. hate finding babysitters. hate asking for friends to babysit. everytime i do it it's seriously a nightmare. hate it.
so that leaves me with running. or brisk walking i guess. so i guess that's what i need to do.
morning. walking. with the girls and an ipod. it's do-able.
and yes, i'm still counting calories. but now i'm counting 1400 of them instead of 1000. today, i think i consumed all 1400 in frosted flakes alone ...

yep. babysitters is a hard thing because then you need to return the favor and then you use up your whole day on working out or watching someone else's kids and let's face it- who has that kind of time.
that is why i run too. i can strap the kids in or get er done when thomas is home. plus, it is a fail safe way to loose weight usually.
you could do workout dvds? yes, no? does this work for you? that's what i am hoping to do too so that i can do stuff at home when kids are occupied or napping or when i just dont feel like going out.
That's what I have found, baby sitting doesn't quite work out since it takes twice as long once you return the favor.
Anytime you want a walking buddy (as long as it isn't 5am...allthough Tex seems to be an early bird. But still isn't up before 6:30) let me know. I'd love to join you.
I think Dvd's are fun, even when the kids are up. Just get them to do them with you. Take a 5 minute break here and there if you need to help with something and get back into it. Eden loves watching me dance around like a goof ball. ;-)
