Mommy is important too:)

Well day 3 of having kids home with me. My youngest ones especially are sick - up all night coughing 102 temperature. One of the days I did skip my workout and I was ok with that. I did workout yesterday but that was weights and I find weight workouts easier to do when kids are around because even if you have to stop to get someone something - it's ok. But today was Burn Intervals. This is a workout that is very important to keep your heartrate up in the zones where the trainer wants you to be. I love intervals - sometimes your heartrate it super high - then you recover. Intervals are key to add to your workout regimen to burn some serious fat. So I was feeling kind of sorry for myself. Still in my jammies at noon - everyone sick and needing this and that. Which is fine - after all - that is what I live for. But I was feeling the anxiety of NEEDING to get into my zone. It's only 40 minutes for crying out loud. Aren't I worth that? Isn't my sanity worth that? Yes. So I politely told my kids that you now have food in your belly, a drink and a cool cartoon on TV - I will be taking some me time. Come get me if there is blood or vomit. I am happy to say that there was no blood from anyone, no disasters, they all survived and we are all the better for it. I feel good about myself now - I am energized and recharged.
