As busy moms, wives, or just women it is nearly impossible. But I know working out does not just impact my physical well being it also affects my mental well being as well. If I miss a workout I feel sluggish but also I find my self pissed off at myself. I just feel better afterwards like I can tackle my to do lists, the day, or whatever I have on my plate.
My problem though has always been finding that time to fit something in. I have the guilty mom complex if I do it after I get home from work. Also, kids make it impossible to workout at home without a 100 interruptions. It never fails I will be in the middle of lunges and Max needs a glass of milk or his hiney wiped.
Most of the gyms around me do not have child care so that nixes them too. I do try to set my alarm before work on days Nick is home. I am then able to get some cardio in outside. I also use the workout room at work during my lunch break. But sometimes I can't make myself go down there. I am either starving some days or I just need to sit and relax after a morning full of patients and being on my feet go, go, going non stop.
I also find myself doing my "kitchen workouts" a lot. I have shared before my zumba videos from youtube. But I have found two new HIIT (High intensity interval training) that I love. These workouts are perfect in my opinion. I can set my alarm before the kids get out of bed, go downstairs still in my jammies, and bust out a quick workout! It's a win win for all!! Here they are if you too are looking for something to fit into your busy lifestyle. For the longest time I made excuse after excuse not to get a workout in. I finally came to the realization that I can find the time. While it might not be the most ideal, like during my lunch break, it is what it is. And a momma's gotta do what a momma's gotta do to be happy!!

Drinking all my water is easier when you have a cute cup! Loving my new pink yeti!
Y'all I am so excited , too! July 1st I am back on the Lean and clean transformation with Stacey and Jess's Facebook group! I took a break in June and tried doing it on my own! I maintained what I had already lost which made me extremely happy! Now I am ready to say goodbye to these last 13-15 pounds! I feel so much better mentally (this has been tbe biggest win for me! For the last 4 years I have had such bad body image and self esteem issues.). I was able to go on vacation and not look in the mirror and hate the way I look . I was actually happy! I owe it all do these ladies and this group they created! It does cost money each month to participate but it has been by far the best money I have spent ! If you are interested you can find them here on Facebook! Happy hump day friends! The kids and I are running errands ! We have already looked at Max's new daycare /preschool for next year and are currently sitting in the pediatrician's office waiting for Mere's 9 yr checkup! Then we have stops planned for the farmer's market and pool!!
