Kids, jobs, obligations, no time, blah, blah, blah.<BR/><BR/>I've got three kids and you're right -- you think you're busy when they're little and you look forward to them growing up, but then they all get into their activities and you are Taxi Mom. Not that one is better or tougher than the other, life with kids is just always going to be a challenge. <BR/><BR/>My kids are 8, 13 and 16(girl). The boys are both signed up for fall ball (baseball) and you can bet I will be doing some serious hiking around that park! I might even embarress them with my resistance bands. <BR/><BR/>My daughter is band captain this year, (and I will NOT miss games) so there goes that bellydancing class I wanted to take on Saturday mornings. Oh, well, I think we'll ride bikes to the home games this year rather than driving the van the mile it takes to get there and then fighting for parking.<BR/><BR/>I also have a full-time job. So, I exercise at 5:30 in the morning at the gym and get myself to work by 7:30. I also have other obligations (to others and myself), so preparing healthy food and getting some exercise is ALWAYS a challenge!<BR/><BR/>But, hey, I'm doing this for me, for my life and I'm NOT going to make excuses for why I can't be successful at it! An excuse is just a way of letting yourself down and not feeling so bad about it.<BR/><BR/>Since my goal is to be a WW leader, too, there's one more way I think we are alike. We'll both have a challenge of being diplomatic with whiners!!! :)GingersFithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00637629553356969791noreply@blogger.com
