Ain't like it used to be

Their smiles are deceiving...

I'm not sure if it's been more than 5 years since I've worked out at home, but it definitely ain't like it used to be. It's going to be interesting incorporating children into a workout. I was dead set on starting the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred today and then I realized that not only do I have a six month old slithering around on the floor, I have a 5 year old home who wants to play. Hayden goes to school every other day so there are some days that working out is easier than others. We recently set our Wii back up and Hayden has the Wii Fit Nickelodeon game. After a quick game of Mario Party, which I whooped his butt in, (NO MERCY!) I decided to play his Wii fit game with him. I'm not sure if I'm incredibly unfit or if he is just a hardcore little boy. While doing the Backyardigans relay (yes, Backyardigans) he's screaming at me to move faster! Have you ever hustled your ass running on the spot because a 5 year old is barking orders at you!? It's intense! Don't even get me started on the Diego rowing game. "Mommy, there's a waterfall!!!! ROW ROW ROW!!!!!!" It's one thing to see a little Diego character disappointed but when your kid has to show you how to do it properly, you feel like a tool bag. I forgot how huffy and puffy the Wii can make me! I'm sure if I spend an hour dancing like MJ, that's gotta count for some cardio. Maybe if I set Carter up on the floor, I can use him as a hurdle and make my house an obstacle course....hmmm...I've never been more excited to go to the gym as I am now. However, in the back of my mind Hayden will be screaming at me to move faster. Motivation at it's finest.
