Working out with the kids home...

Summer has officially begun here in Tampa. The kids have been out of school since last Wednesday and any hopes of me starting some kind of exercise routine died that day. It's my own fault. I kept saying I'd start a new routine "tomorrow" but "tomorrow" never came. I need to sit down and come up with something though. Walking on treadmills is always a good way to exercise and we do have one in our bedroom. I guess I could always wake up earlier then the kids and walk for an hour. That actually might be kind of (almost) relaxing and help me to start off the day feeling great (or tired) and on a good note. I'm always afraid though that I'm going to get up at say 5:30am and the kids will hear me and then they'll be up too. Everyone being up at 5:30am makes for a very long day! And that's one thing I don't want. And the way our house is set up sucks too. If I wanted to wake up early and do a workout DVD I'd have to do that in our den and all of the bedrooms are off of the den so one of the kids is bound to hear me and wake up! And when one is awake, so are the other two. That's just inevitable.

I do see what I'm doing though - coming up with excuses as to why I can't workout. That's not good either. I guess I just need to start doing something, whether kids wake up or not.
