Exhausted! Anyone Relate?


Can anyone relate?!

I know, I can here your laughter from here, but Keith took this picture a while back and I decided (against my better judgement, I'm sure) to post it. I think it still applies.  :)  We've all been here. Being so tired that once that child (or children) is FINALLY asleep you lay back in exhaustion and are immediately asleep yourself, regardless of the position you're in. Who wants to exercise when you can barely get yourself out of bed because of the night of sleep (or lack of sleep) you just had, or the exhausting day or week or month you've been having? It really takes so much effort to get out of bed or off the couch when you're so tired, or at least it is for me. It is so hard to get myself up and going in the morning sometimes, but even though this week was pretty brutal as far as sleep goes, I've actually done pretty good. I've been able to exercise here and there in the past, but I've managed to do something fitness related, however small it might have been, every day for the last week (Sunday doesn't apply). I'm proud of what I've accomplished and hope I can keep the momentum. I have to give a huge thanks to Keith because he's been extremely supportive in helping me be able to try to meet my goals.

So, how is everyone else doing? We all must be pretty busy ...or maybe exhausted.... lately because there hasn't been much activity on the blog, but I'm wondering if everyone is still on track with their fitness goals. Jennie, are you still running? I ran/walked (okay, mostly walked) almost three miles today and thought of you and how you could literally run circles around me. Mom, I've started attending a strengthening class and realized (again) how much work I have to do. It's so great that you are weight training! Lisa, I know your life is sooooo busy right now, but I know you are doing something to relieve stress. I'm just wondering how everyone is doing because it helps keep me motivated too! Happy exercizing!
