As I have mentioned on the radio show I used to be a girl over 200 pounds. Today I showed up at the gym. Hadn't been there in months and yes I'm still under 200 pounds, but today I needed extra energy to work and that only comes from exercise. Some of you might say how on earth can you get energy when your tired from working out? Well I usually stay at the gym for 2 hours. I always go in and walk the track for 30-45 minutes. Afterwards I head to the weight room and work my arms, thighs and stomach. I do different exercises throughout the week when I am at the gym and try not to do the same thing every single day. After that I hit the bike for an hour. At 9 am I'm a little tired when I head home to work in my office for my job but by the time I do get home I have a lot more energy to work. My mind is refreshed because I've spend the entire time listening to my Freddie Mercury and Queen music and thinking. Thinking about how to make something better and how to best stay out of the box.
I'm a firm believer if I can find time to get to the gym I'm there and it's got to be in the morning. If you work from home like I do you know there are a lot of things in your home that are so demanding and family is the worst especially if you home school your children. But the gym is my secret getaway. I feel like it's my dirty little secret because I don't have children knocking on the office door or a mother in law demanding all the errands that you have to go run for her. And will work get done, not so much. But my dirty little secret that I'm happy about getting time for myself helps to recharge me. I can face anything when I face my body first.
So just remember to stay healthy in your job stay healthy with your body too. Even if you can only squeeze in an afternoon walk or possibly take the family for hike as a routine. If you join the YMCA they have child care and if you have teenagers they can swim, practice tennis, racket ball and all other sorts of fun stuff. It's really worth the money.
