emoticon This morning I woke up ready to go. I figured I have come so far in the last year that I shouldn't let a few stressful life issues stand in my way. After all life and stress go hand in hand right? I have two boys 13 and 12 and while I woke up in a good mood they did not. They fought all morning while getting ready and one seemed to scream over the other. As I tried to breathe my way through it I found myself yelling back at them. Killing my mood and putting me in such a funk that I don't even want to get on my treadmill or do my ball exercise. How is it that one minute I am ready and the next I am not? I know in these times I need to push through but sometimes just giving up is easier!

    Yes, I agree I think you should take the frustration you have and put it to use. I find that when I am frustrated I exercise harder, with better results, and afterwards I am feeling good about not just the fact that all that hard work has subsided my frustration but also the fact that it went towards something totally worth while. I do not have any children as old as your kids, but I do have four younger ones, so trust me I know all about frustration, and I also know how important it is towards my sanity. Good luck and I wish you the best :)

    I would reccomend you take that frustration and work it out on that treadmill. I used to use those analogies- of walking over the stress or the person's face who was making me upset. That would get me through it. No excuses- JUST DO IT. (Nike says that) GO GO GO emoticon
