It's day 2 of week 2 and day 2 of no exercise. I didn't get home from work until 8:15 which is unusually late for me and by the time I had dinner it was almost 9 and it's hot and rainy and humid and and and and.... I know this sounds like excuses, which I am banned from making; HOWEVER, the name of the game is 4 days of exercise per week, so as I see it I still have 5 days to go and thus it's perfectly reasonable to take tonight off.
Nevertheless, I realize that people out there, thousands, nay, millions of people work long hours and unlike me they also have kids and also unlike me they cook dinner for their families each night -unless you count turkey on whole wheat which I made tonight - I guess I didn't make it so much as put it together - but I digress. The point is, or rather, the question is, how do they do it? Where do they summon the energy, the motivation, where do they find the time and also the balance? Which brings me to my next question:
Can we ever balance it all? Work, family, friends, significant others, exercise, cooking, cleaning, blogging, hobbies (par exemple I'd like to learn French) etc. I'd like to believe that finding a balance is possible. Up to this point I have been unable to attain it and really that is the purpose of this project. And if in fact finding that perfect balance is as possible as me making out with Johnny Depp (that is to say, wishful thinking / never gonna happen) at least I can hope to bring the scale closer to center.
