I feel the need to start with a rant...
I am so tired of this whole, "Just make time..." crap! As a mother of four kids in various sports and schools... believe me. If I could just "make time" to excercise then I would have already made time... I would never have more than a load of laundry to do, my dishes would be washed every night, my house would be impecible. Can you imagine the birthday parties I could throw!
No, it is not that simple. You cannot just make time when there already isn't enough time to do all the other things you have to do. I cannot just skip making dinner, or picking up or dropping off the kids at various location.
My solution is going to have to involve multi-tasking. So this week I have been going through our massive pile of clean laundry that unfortunately will not put itself away. Instead of sitting on the couch to sort and fold clothes I am standing and walking in place. Instead of holding a basket on my hip as I walk from room to room, I am actually holding it out in front of me. When I get really ambitious I hold it up and over my head as I walk. I have found that I am getting through the pile faster because I am in excercise mode and moving faster to get my heart pumping. So now I have more time to get to other chores.
