I Didn't Get To Exercise Today As Much As I Wanted To

i have an year old son , b/c of him i am unable to continue my job . i have to giveup my carrier b/c of him . children r always priorities

HEY Hi there.I can understand how much tough it is to maintain this type of situation.Well why dont you get up early in the morning say at 7:00 am and exercise at that time your kids will be asleep .As morning time is considered to be the best time to exercise try to practice it.

Yes, I have done it a couple of times. There are cases that I have to reset or postpone my schedules just to prioritize my son. My wife also does the same. As much as possible we would always give him our time as long as we can.

Yes everything used to get cancelled when mine were small and poorly.It is strange you mentioned exercise I walked up the village today to put a note in at the doctors for my tablets,then I walked around the playing field for half an hour fast then slow felt much better for it .yesterday I went for a walk with my friend as well really getting back into it again.I have been excercising on a twist and turn disc I got off the avon lady which is very good for the midrift where my problem is.I hope your little one feels better soon,you are so right to comfort them nothing is more important than your kids.xxx

i wish your son will be better soon , you are a good father, take care your son carefully. and do exercise with you son when he is better . may be you play with he later, he will be better than now . happy everyday! welcome to my discussions!

though im not a parent yet,I can understand you.My mom is always like that,she would rather take care of us than doing her thing..I really love her because she value us more than ANYTHING.I know your children will know that in the future..Good luck and God bless.

exercise is the work which i also skip many times, due to different reasons, sometimes becoz of children's exams, sometimes if i have invited someone for lunch and sometimes becoz of getting up late and some days just due to laziness....but i am lucky enough that i dont have over weight, so i dont have to worry so much if i skip them sometimes. But still if u have the habit of oding it regularly it feels very dull whole day and at the end we have to regret that it was better if took out sometime and did it for the freshness of whole day.

That's the story of my life I always had to put things off because I had to do something for the kids but that's what parenting is all about, now that they are older I don't have to do so much and I'm really not complaining but when I'm sick or something it's hard for me to get anything done for myself much less for my children. But they understand that I have a debilitating disease so they are willing to wait until I'm better and then we can go do what they wanted.

I guess it's not that bad in terms of not being able to exercise as much as you wanted todayI'm still recovering from my bike accident & I haven't been able to exercise for weeks already, haha!~I hope to get back to the routine!~ As for the children part, we don't have any as yet so I guess I can't really say much

All the time! The day my daughter was born was the day that my wishes and plans went on hold to accommodate her every need and that is the way it is for Mums, although I admit there is the odd day when I really wish I could come first! It's especially hard when they are sick. You are doing what is right staying at home with them, those are the times they will remember when they are grown up, time spent with you.

you are wonder woman... i hardly ever get to the gym anymore, and I don't feel guilty at all. Being a mom of a sickly toddler is exhausting!!! You go girl. You are an inspiration to me... perhaps I'll try to go to the gym today, just because of this posting.

As a parent, we have to dedicate many things for our children. Women are gr8 and ahead in dedication. i salute one mother who dedicate something for her children. I put off many things for my children sometime but i cannot compete women for dedication. Have gr8 day!

Thats not bad, im sure you want the best for your kids, i hope they will be ok soon. For exercise, you can always schedule it for another day, but you can never postpone taking care of a sick child. Smile, we can still burn calories even we take care of our kids right. Happy mylotting!

Absolutely!..Ever since I became a mom, everything turns to the childrens needs first. And still is, and my first born is now 30 years old!..and theres 3 more. Not to say that they arent independent because they are, but are children ever totally independent especially if they still live near mom? Shopping trips even become focused on what cute things I see for the kids, and the grandkids now. I have got to a point where I realize that I need some time to myself and hubby. WE have purchased a house and are moving a little over an hour away. I dont think any of the kids are happy about it as we have always lived close. But it was what we could afford and near services that we need. I guess I have figured that life is short, I have spent my life doing for my kids. NOw its time for me!!...Ofcourse, I will still do for the kids as well!...I think I might be more busy instead of less!!

Many times....I guess that's what being a mommy is all about..them coming first! And they did. So there were many times I put off what I wanted for them....and it didn't bother me one bit to do it!

Oh, i can see that you must love you children very much. Yes, i think i will and i can feel the experience, although i have not a children now, even i have not got married.. To raise a children is not a easy thing for parent, but we indeed feel happy and pride of to see our children grow up day and day.... Wish you children getting better soon!!

I personally don't have children but I pray for you and your children for speedy recovery. I hope everything is well. As to your question, I have put off projects of mine because of different circumstances but if I personally had children that would of been a no brain-er, I have to take of my children no matter what the circumstances entail.

i exercise too.i'm doing specifically 5 Tibetan rites.feels good after done those.

Mom's arm is God's gift to people on earth, the image of me as a kid hiding and being soothed in my mom's arms remained forever in the bottom of my heart. Even now as I grow up and grow old, my old and weak mom still want to cuddle me and soothe me when I am unhappy or unhealthy. I love my mom and I am sure your kids will do the same because you are heaven sent angel for them. So, that's okay you put your schedule for a while to offer your warmth for them. I admire you, singlemommy, you remind me to my mom.

i also did not any exercise today...hehe
