I recently found a good friend to watch C during the day so I could open up my availability at work and be able to be home at night more often. I don't work lots during the day and not even every week, but I have noticed it cutting into my work out time. Normally I go to the gym after the kids go to school (and when the day care is open at the gym). If I don't go in the morning, I rarely go once the kids get home from school. I never can go on Monday morning because I work for the free membership from 8-12:30 that day. I am NOT a morning person. Getting up at 7 is hard for me, and that is necessary to get the kids to school on time. In my perfect world I would be at the gym at 6 and home by 7, but that is so unrealistic I can't even begin to fathom it.
Sunday I told Ryan I wanted to go to PowerCut at 5:30 the next day. He all but laughed in my face. Of course I was at work all day and by the time I got home I was exhausted and very much not wanting to leave the house. Around 7 or 7:30 I made a comment about how I had missed PowerCut and Ry again laughed at me. After we talked for a bit I found out that he thought I meant 5:30 am. Not 5:30 pm. Which is the actual time of the class. Now the laughter made sense.
So here is my predicament. I need to work out more often, but I have these time issues that make it hard. I don't want to call myself lazy because I can't wake up. Maybe I am, but I work until late at night all weekend long and 2 week nights. Sleep is hard to come by. So I am hoping for some advice on how I can work more exercise into this schedule. I am open to options at this point. Honestly, the gym has been the best for me especially when I go to classes. They are a lot more motivating and help my endurance increase which is my hardest thing right now. I did 2 classes in a row last week, which I had never done and I thought I wuld die, but I made it. But 2 hours one day an hour the next then 5 days off is not a great schedule. Consistency is what I am looking for here. Any thoughts would be helpful and appreciated.
