Hey 20lbs2go,
Yeah, it is getting that couple minutes of "me" time! I am a stay-at-home mom of 3...a 3 year old, a 12 month old, and a 6 month old. Schedule? What is that??? LOL! Plus, I babysit 1 or 2 mornings a week for about 1n hour and a half. So, I am basically tired and trying to watch carbs and walk on my treadmill. What I do is put in a tape of dance music I loved in college and turn it up loud and my 3 yr old and I dance like fools...the 1 yr old will dance too. I do some tae bo moves with light hand weights and do some upper body reps with a 5 pound weight. When I do get to walk, I put in a video to distract me. What works best is to get on the phone and talk while I walk. I walked for an hour and 40 minutes the other day! That is NOT typical, but clearly possible! I also do sit-ups and leg lifts. My work outs are a bit limited as I had bi-level spinal fusion surgery nearly 2 yrs ago. I am fearful of a re-injury so I take it easy...I am getting more confident now that I have had several months with no flare ups of spasm.
I'd say to work yourself up to your goal, but don't beat yourself up if you miss a session...sounds like we both need to make our fitness a priority.
Thanks for writing back!!!
