frustrations of working out.

We can't afford a gym membership so I have to work out at home. My problem is I try to work out and the kids start fighting or Payton starts crying or I need to keep an eye on the kids so they don't touch the treadmill. For me working out is supposed to be a time of releasing frustrations and calming your self. Lets just say I'm not calm when I do work out. If I find time to work out it's maybe 20 min before I need to quit. I just don't enjoy it at all. When I had a gym membership I loved it and went everyday. I would just put my kids in the daycare (They loved it there) and run my little heart out. Just needed to vent. I hope I get it all figured out.

We will have to plan our summer activities along exercise, so that we can all get a little in while having fun with the kids... I see some hikes in the summer plans what do you think?

That might be a good idea. i need to get excersize some how. right now i just go out and play with the kids i gave up on running.

I need motivation! I have to be careful with exercise due to health stuff, and with HCG you can't work out extreme, right? So I have walking for now... but could really use some toning exercises. Daphne, have you thought about dropping the young ones off to a friend to get that time to yourself? Is that feasible at all?

P.S. Have you thought about something called "Feed Burner" to add to this blog? I can't see that you have updated without logging in.. ugh. they need to fix that! lol

I don't know what feed burner is. I can't drop the kids off, because I do foster care and I get paid extra during the summers to take them on activities for at least 6 hours a day and then I work graves at the post office, so I have to combine working out and entertaining children.
