Frustration level...HIGH!

Ok, I was going to write a whiney, excuse ridden post, but I just got done watching an infomercial for Core rhythms and had a realization.

I have been suffering with insomnia and I believe it is due to not working out for 2 weeks. My back is better with no pain and almost no stiffness, but I literally haven't found the time to go back in to Curves. Last school year, I realized that it was super stressful for me to work out after the kids came home from school. I felt rushed when I got home to get dinner on the table and make sure chores and homework was done ('cause we all know it isn't going to get done without supervision LOL). So HHT and I came up with a solution of him coming home for lunch on Tues. and Thurs. so I could go work out then. It was a great solution for my sanity! During the summer, I enjoyed working out whenever I wanted because of the kids being home. Now, the kids are back in school and HHT has a super high workload which prevents him from being able to commit to being home for lunch...sometimes even dinner. LOL I know for sanity's sake that I cannot go back to working out after school. I have been toying around with waking up early and being there at 5:45am and getting it done before the kiddos wake up and while HHT is still home. That may be what I end up doing as working out after dinner will also not work. So, anyway, I've been feeling sorry for myself, but after I watched the above mentioned infomercial, I realized that I have that workout DVD and several others to choose from. So even if on the odd day I can't make it in to Curves, I have no excuse not to work out. Heck, Curves even has a work out at home plan...so, DUH, what am I waiting for?

Here and now I'm letting you all know that I will be working out this afternoon during nap time for S. I need to get back on track so I can sleep again if nothing else.

And during this lapse in exercise, I haven't really gained any weight, just maintained. But I have noticed that I'm losing tone. While I may weigh the same, I look and feel bigger. Just goes to show that the scale truly is only one way to measure progress. I prefer the feeling-your-clothes-get-bigger method.

Ok, off to choose my workout!
