Exercise has always been a time struggle in my life. Before kids, before the thought of kids, and even more so now with actual kids. There was only one successful bout I had with fitness, and it lasted a mere three months, one semester of college. And my final semester too! I had a two hour break between my first and second classes, every day. Not long enough to go to work, which is what I normally did, and not enough time to travel to my pre-student teaching placement. And I hardly ever did extra work for my classes. So, I started running again. (I say again because I used to run a bunch when I was a kid. My Dad and I did 10ks and 5ks all the time.) It was a great three months. I felt great, my stress was managed, and I LOST 30 POUNDS!!! Then life started and I moved and got a job and had to pay my bills and yeah. So, I gained it all back and then some, I got married, and got pregnant on our honeymoon. So basically until now I have been unable to dedicate the energy to find the time. Because I always had the time, but I always had more excuses or other pressing matters like laundry and nursing my babies, and growing babies. But now I am done! (Hopefully) Now, I am not nursing, I am not growing humans, and I am not working outside the house. And since my youngest is now old enough to not be so delicate, because I was not about to run the road with a two month old, I am making good use of the double jogging stroller I was able to find second hand. I'm not about to punish anyone for excuses, because we all have them. But boy am I glad I put mine away recently. Well, at least my excuses for exercise. I'll always have an excuse for wine.🍷🍷🍷

The one thing that sucks after an intense workout is to drag yourself to your car and drive it yourself #bodyaching #postworkworkout #gettingbackonthehorse (at Gold's Gym New Manila)
