Finding the time to work out is a challenge in its self. I have to time it just right. When Katie is not hungry or tired and when I know the boys wont need me for something. Almost every time I'm interrupted with crying or mom can I have a drink or a snack. Its so hard. I thought I'd start waking up at 6:00am to work out for an hour but will the alarm wake up Katie? I'm sure 5 min into the work out and she would wake up hungry. I'd work out at her naps but most the time she only sleeps for 20min at a time. I'd work out at night once rick got home but Katie nurses and I put her to sleep at 8:00pm Who wants to work out after 8:00pm? Not me. Its so hard trying to find a balance that's why I have given up so many times in the past months. I get already and then someone needs me. I just have to stay focused and if it takes me 20 times of stopping the DVD before I finish a 60 min work out then ow well at least I can say I did it!
Here is some pic of me after I had Jordon my body bounced right back. After the last two not so much. I want to get that body back. To feel sexy again and to feel good about my self. no more looking in the mirror saying how fat I am or crying cause I can't sit down in my skinny jeans no more talking bad about my self. I can change all of this and I will. I will show up to all three weddings this summer and feel great about my body. I will wear a swim suit at the pool this year. I must do this for me to feel better about my self and get my confidence back. I pray that this is something I will accomplish. today I did 4 sit ups and yesterday I could only do one. This got me thinking if I had really tried hard yesterday could I have done more than just one? I'm sure I could, I wonder how much we tell ourselves I can't do this when indeed we can with just a little more effort. I will put all my effort into this in hopes of getting my self back!

It is hard working out with kiddos! When I use the exercise ball, both kids want to play too! So I give both kids a "ride" on it (we bounce, roll, etc.) then I say, "Mommy's turn!" I quickly sqeeze in one or two sets of twenty crunches then it 's the kids' turn again. It teaches them to share, be patient, and I get a workout. Until our kids are grown up and moved out (a very sad day indeed) we may never get to exercise a full session uninterrupted, I just try to make the best of it and remember, one situp is better than none at all!
HI Jen, Just Just think about the summer time, when you guys can take evening family walks... You will get to spend time with your family and exercise... Kill 2 birds with one stone!! You can do it Jen, I know you can!.. Love, Priscilla
