I am having a hard time keeping up my workouts. Emma said she wanted to jog with me....but...when we done it for a few days she was over it. Now I have to pull her along, constantly having to stop to wait for her, and listen to her whine. I can't make a 7 year old exercise if she won't. I don't know what I am going to do at this point. We are not in the habit of leaving her with a sitter. We live out in the country and we really don't know anyone who lives close to us. The only person that I will leave her with lives 25 miles away, and that doesn't make sense to drive that far away to leave her so I can go run. That turns my efforts into like 2 or 3 hours, where it would only be 1 hour if I could just get her to cooperate with me. I can't let a 7 yr. old defeat me in this effort so I really need to figure out what will work.
Not to even mention that I am ADD and now that she is out of school for the summer my schedule has been turned upside down. Thanks to ADD I have a very big problem with change in my schedule. So that has got me down big time. Now I have to figure out a strategy to deal with both problems.
I didn't run any this week and I feel crappy!!! I am so mad at myself right now. I am wanting to eat everything in the house and I feel like a big fat cow!!! I am not going down like this, I have to resolve this problem....and I'll do it or die trying!!!

I totally relate! I am the type that when my schedule goes out of whack I actually feel kind of lost, I don't know what to do. We've moved several times in the past 4 years and each time my work out schedule has been interrupted.
Have you thought of getting a work out video? The 30 day shred with Jillian Michaels is really good. YOu could work out with the video when you can't go out running.
Hope your able to work out a plan for the summer, hang in there!
Hi Leisia,
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I use to go walk with my mother, but after getting dressed, driving to her house, and then waiting around for her little dog and going at a slower pace, visiting for a while, driving back home, it took 1/2 of my day. So I know how you feel. It makes it extra hard when someone you love so much is, without their knowledge, interfering with your goals!
I really like what H.K. said, and while she is out of school, maybe you can mix it up! Plan exercise and activities that are rewarding for both of you. Nature hikes, jumping jack challenges, play tag, etc.
You have made a lot of progress with your weight loss, and it is obvious you are a very good mommy, so I am sure you will figure out a plan!!
