Side Note: My son (2) was watching curious george and my daughter (1.5 months) was in the room with me crying the last 5 minutes... I have a tendency to feel guilty because I am taking time for myself. Then I remember- don't neglect yourself. A better me is a better mommy. Also- it is setting a good example for your kids...when they know that health is a priority to you- they'll grow up feeling the same.

Also- I started doing P90X dvds, but they are an hour long and this mommy just needs to get it done quick and move on- so I am doing my own workouts again instead. I feel they are more bang for my buck :)
