1 hour a day

by workoutmommy on March 26, 2009

Day 39.
I only ask for one hour a day to myself.
I don’t always get it but when I do I have the following choices:

  • blogging/twitter/facebook
  • do laundry
  • take a nap
  • take a shower
  • clean up dishes/toys
  • watch the shows that have filled up my  Tivo
  • read
  • exercise

Today, I am opting for exercise, therefore:

  • this is my post
  • sorry I have not commented/read your blog in a long time
  • I am so tired that the bags under my eyes have their own bags
  • I don’t smell very good, but I did brush my teeth
  • the house is a mess
  • do not expect clean clothes anytime soon
  • Tivo will have to start deleting some shows
  • and books will continue to collect dust

Life will go on.

Log off and get moving gang.  It does a body good!

Sounds like my world. Kudos to you for choosing you … and not the laundry!

Yes, these are real choices I have daily. Last night I watched a movie and rode my stationary bike for 30, did strength for 20, stretched for 10 and then folded laundry through the end of it. I am good at multi-tasking when I wanna be. Why I have never thought to do that (I love movies) I will never know, but I know now!

Hopefully today feel more productive for you!

Feel the same way what with the end of the term being here and all these projects and exams wrapping up- a messy apartment and running out of clean clothes etc is driving me crazy. And I’m really missing out on quality blogging time!

So glad you chose some real “me time” other than doing the laundry! It’s hard to find the time to take care of ourselves and I always regret it by the end of the week. Thanks for sharing such great fitness tips. I have enjoyed them!

I feel like that this week. I choose to exercise over all the others as well. It seems like I get the most stress relief from it.

Hope it gets better ;)
