I have been pleased at how easily I have found half an hour to do the exercises each day: instead of feeding the chickens after I have dropped the YFG off at school, I go out and do them at 8am once I have done the lunchboxes and made sure she has breakfast on the go. The EFG leaves at 7.55am so I know she is ready and off. The chickens take me about 15 - 20 minutes at that time of the day, so I am back in the house by 8.20, usually still in PJs, so that is when I rush upstairs and put on some exercise clothes and stick my hair up in a ponytail, and clean my teeth. We leave for school at 8.35am, and I am usually home by 8.45 at the latest - and as soon as I walk back in the door, it is exercise time! I'm done by 9.20, and then I hit the shower and get ready for the rest of the day.
It doesn't work as smoothly as that on days when I need to be somewhere early, but I can juggle it around a little. And for the summer holidays when the kids are lounging around a little more, I will just be doing it a bit earlier, before they surface in the mornings!! Any rude comments, and they will be banished from the lounge or made to join in.....
Trying to live my life for God and my family, with an eye on the pennies!
Well done fen mum on the weight loss and keeping up with the exercises. I am trying (again!!!!) to shift a few pounds - with all the running around I do I sould be a size 10 but sadly that isn't the case. I'm 40 at the beginning of August so will be fat & forty but hopefully the weight will be going int he right direction! I feel a mid life crisis coming on now....
ReplyDeleteI know - my mum was constantly on the go but remained overweight to the end of her life.
ReplyDeleteI could well be joining you with the mid life crisis - I am sitting here with my head full of figures trying to do my tax return and tax credits claim - looking for any distraction!!
I HATE doing these, and it always comes at the end of term in July, and it is always a last minute dash - until I get it done and wonder what all the hassle was about!!
