“Last Chance” Workout DVD

I’m doing the employee challenge. It’s been a lot of fun participating in the competition along with many of my clients. However, as a working mom, sometimes I don’t get as much time to come into the gym for all of my workouts. That doesn’t mean that I don’t workout!!! I’ve just had to come up with creative ways to do some exercises at home. When I drained my brain of all the things I could think of, such as doing lunges with my son on my shoulders and sit ups with him sitting on my chest, I went to the store and bought a DVD. I’m a big fan of the show the Biggest Loser, so I got the “Last Chance” workout DVD.

“Me” by Melissa Schwab, Gold’s Gym Challenge Participant

This challenge has showed me how hard it is to make your self a priority. As a wife and mother, I feel guilty taking “me” time. Despite my husband’s assurances that it’s OK for me to take time for me, I feel guilty asking for help. I feel guilty taking time away from my family. I feel guilty putting my kids in the child care room because I want to workout. And don’t forget about our endless lists of tasks waiting for us like grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, bills, and cleaning that have to fit in around school and work schedules. I feel like I got so busy taking care of everyone else’s needs that I forgot to take care of myself. But if you don’t take care of yourself, it’s hard to take care of your family. For the past month, I found that when there’s a will there’s a way. I’m amazed at where I’ve been able to squeeze in a workout when I really want to. I even went to a 5am spin class this morning, and anyone who knows me knows I am NOT a morning person. I realized the laundry and other tasks will still be there when I’m done with my workout. I realized that a “date” with my husband at the gym can be fun too. I realized that my kids will be fine in the childcare room. (A shout out to Michelle and Caryn in the Wenatchee childcare…my kids love you!) And I realized that I’m making a happier, healthier wife, mother and ME.
