Time to workout? if so, when?

[bright sparks]

So yesterday I did a "pinterest" arm routine which wasn't difficult at all but was my first baby step. I intend to do this every other day once the babes have gone down for a nap and gradually increase the weight and reps. Took me 10 minutes once through so I don't care how busy any of you are, hide in the bathroom for 10 minutes from your own kids if you have to, and do it in there lol

Last night I found a "morning" workout which is HIIT on pinterest again. I asked my hubby to do it in our bedroom in the morning with me and he agreed. We had our running shoes on and our workout gear and the whole thing took about 20 minutes and I was breathless and sweating which obviously shows it was good for me. I feel very positive moving forward and plan to do that 5 to 6 days a week.

This morning I had my healthy breakfast of eggs and lunch today is TruBlend of rice and quinoa with swiss chard, tomatoes and chicken breast oven baked in passata with garlic. Loads of water and herbal tea and I must make an effort to eat an afternoon snack at around 3 too. I'm making a curry for dinner which I'll eat with salad.

I know all about how to eat healthy and lose weight. I just typically hate exercise and suffer from PTSD and CF which can be debilitating and then I just use all my mental energy to focus on the kids. Healthy eating and exercise are the best treatment for both these issues so I am not going to just hope I can stick with things, but work hard at it to succeed.

My daughter is going to be starting to train for a kids triathlon which if I do alongside her, I think would have some small enough goals for me to focus on in the coming months and then I hope to be able to run a 5k on Toronto Island in September. I think I have some realistic short term and long term goals focussing on being and feeling healthy and happy without the need for obsessing over diets or numbers on the scale.

Thanks everyone for your kind words...I really like this thread
