So I've been doing "ok" on my food choices lately and am proud of that, but I haven't done a good hard work out in a couple months and I'm starting to feel the effects of weakened muscles in my back and it's painful.  Now, granted, some of the pain could be an old bed, kids in bed with me, partially still my car accident, but I can almost guarantee it would be lessened or near nonexistent if I were working my muscles on a daily basis more than getting up for water and the bathroom from my office chair.  The truth is, an office job SUCKS for your body.  Not only does it cause you to be extremely sedentary but it atrophies muscles that wouldn't do so in other professions and people who choose desk careers over others actually statiscally die quite a few years younger.  So it's time to counteract all that junk that's against me.  I will NOT die earlier than I'm intended to and I will NOT continue to live a moderately sedentary life.  I may have to sit in one chair ALL DAY LONG at work, but that doesn't mean it needs to continue when I get home. 

So tonight starts my "Back to Active" life.  I've used having my kids without a sitter option an excuse to do nothing, but the truth is I can STILL do SOMETHING, I just have to do a little planning and quit making excuses.  Yes I'm a single mom, yes I work a full time job, yes I get home about 6:30pm every night and still need to make dinner, do baths, and pjs and all of that, but I HAVE to take care of myself, otherwise with an increased risk of injury and weight increasing my fatigue level, I'm not going to be ABLE to take care of my kids like I want to. 

Maybe we'll go for a walk after dinner, maybe we'll do yoga together, or maybe I'll wait until they're in bed and sacrifice an hour of sleep for a workout and a hot shower.  Whatever happens tonight, I REFUSE to let the couch or a movie or my kids hold me prisoner.  I WILL be active tonight and atleast for 30 minutes everyday going forward.  It doesn't always have to be high intensity, but I HAVE TO KEEP MOVING!
