Working Mom Workout Plan

When do you workout?  I've had the harderst time trying to figure out how to add working out into my days as a working mom.  I wake up around 5:30am, get home around 4ish and try to go to bed around 10ish.  Work is busy.  Family life is busy.  I knew I didn't want to wake up any earlier so I started an after school walking routine in Feburary.  I walked more and I actually looked forward to that routine.  I tried to walk extra on the weekend or on days where I got home earlier.  Then, I skipped an official workout on days where I had after school meetings or we had plans after school.


I ended up walking for 11.7 miles.

Not too bad for someone who walked 0 miles in January.

I am doing the same routine in March.  I will be putting an afternoon walk on my schedule and fitting it in as many days as I can.  My only goal is to walk as much as I can this month.  The weather may be nicer this month for some outdoor walks, but running upstairs to get on the treadmill is easy peasy.

And a funny bonus was that - the kids came to expect my afternoon walk and would often pop into the office to say hello or chat about their days while I walked.
