you're all ready to exercise and then you can't?
Ever since my kids started Christmas break, I just haven't been able to get exercise in before they get up. I thought maybe this morning I would get to, but the 4 yr old woke up early. Ugh. :grumble: She's just gonna have to do some aerobics with me today. I haven't exercised in several days and I'm seriously irritated!
Okay.... done venting. :ohwell:

YES!!!! bless your heart, yes she would be working out with me as well. I get so super irritated now when I don't get my work out in so I don't miss no matter what. If I have to get up extra early or stay up super late, I will get my cardio in even if that's all I get in. I pray you get to ASAP.0

I get that way too! Or if I'm exercising at home and I suddenly have to stop.
While the kids are home we do a lot of exercise together or I just get my exercise in when I go teach a class (I teach water aerobics & aqua Zumba) &/or do it at home after they go to bed.0 -
I was frustrated during my vacation because I thought I will be killing this exercise thing and I will be close to finishing my walking challenge, but the opposite is what actually happened. I want up sleeping late on some nights, therefore oversleeping in the morning (I get more exercise done while my daughter is sleeping, but we were waking up close to the same amount of time). I was also very busy preparing for the Christmas, and I had a couple of days I babysat several kids. It's looking like I get more exercise done when I am not on vacation because I would go on walks during my lunch break and will quickly sneak into the gym before I pick up my daughter.0

I decided to get up and run on the treadmill while the kids were sleeping in. Next thing I know they are standing there staring at me. I tried not to get upset, but of course they kept trying to talk to me while I was running. I ended up huffing out, "your father is awake, go ask him!" I felt bad later, but it was hard to run with children standing there demanding your attention at a full run. .....I was grumpy that my workout was being effected. :explode:0

oh yes. I have to shut my bedroom door otherwise I got kids and a cat trying to invade my already small space. :grumble: Or sometimes when Im in the middle of an intense move and it's taking all I got to hold that position or keep moving..there goes a knock on my door. I scream "I NEED A COUPLE MORE MINUTES" :mad: and I feel horrible but I need to keep it up...so I just praise them for giving me my time and usually they will leave me be for that amount of time next time cuz they understand I'm trying to slim down. :blushing:0

Yep, me too. That is my time. Do not bother me.

When I miss a workout, I actually get depressed.0

Oh yes! I have a 5 month old so he requires a whole lot of time and attention...which I love giving him BUT I hand him over to his daddy for about 30 minutes every afternoon so I can do my workout. And let me tell you, there is nothing more aggravating to me than my husband interrupting my workout for things like:
Husband: "honey, I think he just pooped"
Me: "Ok. And?"
Husband: "oh uh...where are the wipes?"
Me: "the same place they always are"
Husband: "oh, okay"
5 minutes later....
Husband: "honey, I think he's getting hungry"
Me: "so feed him"
Husband: "how do I mix this formula again?"
Me: "READ THE CAN!!!"
But despite it all, God I love my boys! lol!0 -
I do the same to my wife.0

Yes ma'am, it's the truth! They remind me everyday that I'm NEEDED...and I'm so very glad for that!0 -
My little girl did a bit of turbo jam with me today, and when I do press ups she just climbs on top of me and shouts "faster Mummy - up, down, up, down!"
I have started using her as a chest press now - if you can't beat them join them!0 -
Sigh..... I feel much better now! 15 minutes of walk aerobics does wonders. Sophie (the 4 yr old) joined me for awhile after she ate the breakfast I made for her.0

When my kids were little and I missed a workout, I would put them in the double stroller and go for a fast paced walk. If I couldn't walk outdoors because of the weather, I would go to the local mall and do laps there. The deal with the kids was that if they behaved during my walk, we would go to a movie or a romper gym something special afterwards. I'd get my exercise and they get their fun activity.
I do get very grumbly when I cannot work out... either do to sickness or injury. Since my kids are now teens, I have much more freedom... and sometimes they even join me for my workout.0 -

Oh bless your heart if you're husband is like mine....It's like having two kids sometimes lol0 -
Yes, that is when I leave the kids with my husband or my boss and forget my cel phone and go for a run.
The other thing they do - I tell them "I'm working out, don't call me" and they always call about 10 minutes left in my exercise.
You so are not alone!0 -

My kids are older and I wished I had insisted on getting exercise like you all are doing. This week I find out that my daughters coach scheduled conditioning for the spring track season at my Aquafit time:grumble: . I told her Wednesday she would have to take the bus. I can go to one tonight that isn't too bad but Wednesday night is not a great teacher. By the way I love the grumbling smiley. He is so cute.0

That sounds like what I do with my daughter. She's home alone while her brothers are at school and if I get the urge to exercise I have to include her. She does my dvd's with me and if we go for a walk she shouts 'run Mommy! We need to run faster!' It's very encouraging.0 -

Lol....thank you! I promise you, I cannot even count how many times I've told him to "READ THE CAN" LOL0 -
Ha ha! Y'all crack me up! Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I only got a short workout in this morning. I'm gonna take the kids to the rec center this morning and let them play in the "daycare" while I walk the track.0
