Exercise ...

Rightio - it is time I talked about this.  My inability to get back into exercise.

Now, don't take this the wrong way, I LOVE exercising!  Gym, knocking myself out with a PT, walking the dog, walking ......... anywhere! 

However the extreme lack of sleep, early morning awakenings, heading to work, coming home from work (in order to leave early, I take a short lunch break), making dinner, eating dinner, doing washing, putting little ones to bed, making MORE dinner, cleaning up, hanging up washing, doing more washing, a husband who owns his own business and works long hours and weekends ....... somehow it seems I don't have the TIME for exercise.

Someone said to me awhile ago that I am not trying hard enough to fit exercise into my new life.  (Needless to say, that person and I are no longer speaking - I would like him to last one FKN day here at Twinsville!!!).  I did get back into exercise last year - I was at the Gym at 4 / 4:30am in the morning 3 times a week.  It felt great getting back into it ........... until one night I had two hours sleep, and still got up to train.  YES, I went, and YES it was hard ........ but that night I hit the wall and got so sick I couldn't train again for two weeks.

A very good friend said to me sleep is more important at this time, and I should not "beat myself up" (thanks Lisa), but when you HATE what you see in the mirror each day, it is hard NOT to feel bad about not doing any exercise.

So here I sit, in study at 10:30 at night wondering HOW and when I will finally get some excercise back into my life .......... until then, I guess I should get some sleep.

SLEEP - Ahhhhhhh yes, that is what I had before the TWINS and before Spencer decided that waking up at about 12:30am (since we returned from holiday) is what should happen each and every night.

OK - PITY PARTY OVER.  :-)
