in a larger family it has been hard to find my space for my workouts. everyone interrupts me with THEIR needs. yes, of course family life interferes but i have to keep with it. they are slowly learning to help themselves when mom is busy. this is a loooooong process..

It is a long process, but the sooner we realize that it will not happen overnight the better off we will all be. Consider your workout time your time, turn the music up loud, and tell everyone you will rejoin them when workout time is over!

This can be a tough battle. There have been many times in the past when my husband comes home from work and I say OK your turn w the kids, my time for exercise. I feel guilty but by the same token I know that I am working out to keep healthy and strong and to hopefully be there for all of them for a longer period of time.
