The good news : I cleaned my treadmill completely (it was still covered with a thick layer of drywall dust from our renovation in the spring). I turned it on and walked on it for a couple of minutes to verify it still ran. I ran the cable to the TV in front of the treadmill and hooked up the TV to a VCR. I am ready to exercise.
The bad news : I never exercised! I was running around like crazy today, taking care of the dog, doing laundry, cooking food for today and next week, take care of the baby, doing dishes, etc, etc, etc. No Exercise Cometh. I had to do most of it while my BIL was out to work. He is back now and watching football down there so no exercise now. Tomorrow I am getting my @ss on the treadmill for a 30 minute walk. No Excuses.
I went out and got a skim iced mocha today. Woohoo, 4 shots of espresso and I was flying around the house doing the above mentioned housework. Before we had the kid, Mike and I split all the housework. If one of us cooked, the other cleaned. We took turns going down to move the laundry. Now, I do almost everything while he plays with the kid. I love sitting in the floor and playing too, but I find it hard to relax when I know housework is waiting for me. Sometimes I feel like I have stepped back in time and become a 50s housewife, but maybe 50s housewived did all the work AND watched the kid while the hubby read the paper. Or maybe the whole 50s thing is too cliche?
