Day Three

I knew it was going to be hard today. So at least I was prepared. I had to skip a few arm lifts after the push ups. My lower abs are quite sore and coughing is no fun. I am glad I made it. I keep wondering if I can really keep this up for 27 more days. I don't think for me it is even so much the workout. It's more the prep to do the workout. I originally thought I could do it after the kids went to bed for the night. But then after doing it once, I realized there is no way in hell that I will have the energy to do this at 830 at night.

So I have been doing it when Lauren goes down for her nap after lunch. The first two days Aaron thought it was fun to sit at the table and do something like color or play do. But today, he wanted none of that. At first, he did it with me. He used the wand from the vacuum as his weight. But he got tired after the first round of jumping jacks. SO off he went to find something sneaky to do. Luckily I caught him before he headed upstairs. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was going to go pee in the tree upstairs ( we have a fake one). So I told him no way and that he could use the bathroom downstairs, he was in there for 10 minutes and I just let him do whatever. Thank god he did not make a mess.

Why is it so hard to carve out 25 minutes of the day when I can just focus on me? I think I have been using the TV too much to keep Aaron busy when I shower. Lately it seems to be the only distraction from being naughty and sneaky.

Anyway, today has gone way off track. I just wanted to vent about how frustrating it is to find the time to do this for me. Hopefully we will find some kind of groove because I really want to stick with this.
