new workout plan

The kids have had swim lessons at the Y in the evening the past couple of weeks. I had grand intentions of using the opportunity to jump start myself back into working out. It hasn't quite worked out that way - i spend all my time feeding the kids dinner during lessons (which start at 5PM for E), and then picking up one kid, dropping off the other for their lessons(A is at 5:30PM), getting them changed into swim clothes, getting them showered and dressed AFTER lesson(D is at 6:15PM.), and then giving them all a snack after lessons (they're ALWAYS ravenous!) before finally dropping them into the babysitting(thank HEAVEN for the YMCA babysitting!)

To make a long story short,... i wasn't getting ANY time for a workout for ME! So, i've started coming in the mornings with only E and C and using the babysitting then. Sometimes it means i'm driving up the Richmond twice in one day, but i've LOVED getting a decent workout in! It's been a bit of an adjustment for the little kids - i actually wake them up now instead of letting them get up on their own. C, in particular, has felt the lack of sleep. I dragged the kids back from Richmond once this past week and set them straight up into their stools while i prepped for dinner, and C didn't even stay awake the 5 minutes until dinner was ready - she was one TIRED girl! It amazes me sometimes what positions and circumstances that kids can fall asleep in ;-)
