Okay, not really done…there are perks to this season.  But really what I miss is the routine and schedule.  I thrive off of that, and so do my kids.  It’s fun to be spur-of-the-moment once in awhile.  But can’t I plan to be spontaneous?  What?  Spontaneity doesn’t work that way?  The biggest challenge I’m having is finding the time to work out.  Yes, I have the gym.  But all the classes I like are in the morning when we have swim lessons.  And I am such a wimp when it comes to running outside.  I think I’d have to get up at like 4:00am for it to be cool enough.  And then it still may be too warm for me!  Yes, I have the gym.  But I feel guilty bringing the kids because after it’s all said and done, it costs $8 an hour for childcare.  Ridiculous!!

However, I have an idea.  We have an elliptical in our bedroom.  And, as much as I hate stationary equipment (does anyone else get totally bored from ellipticals and treadmills), I think I might sign up for Netflix and then I can watch streamed movies or TV shows I’ve been meaning to get into (Like Office, Big Love, and Entourage).  Perfect times for an elliptical workout, and I don’t get terribly bored.  Does anyone else have Netflix?

How do you keep motivated in your workout routine?
