So Ella

These were taken a few weeks ago and I love them because to me this is very Ella. She loves mixing up different things in her outfits and wearing hats and her purple Crocs. And of course she accessorizes it all too. So cute.

Exercise

I have come to really like what I get out of exercise and can’t imagine not getting any. I think I would just lay on the couch all the time and eat ho-hos and feel like crap.

Anyway, my biggest struggle is finding the time to do it.

When I worked full-time it was easy to make it a part of my lunch time routine. Or if you don’t have kids, just go after work. But now I work part time so I’m either with my kids or have jam-packed days of work to get through.

Last year I was so good about getting up before the kids and getting it in. And now I think, “Who was that crazy person and how was I so disciplined?” Now it’s seems so dark and cold and lonely to leave my warm snuggly bed in the morning. I do remember feeling so great the whole day long just from a 30-minute workout though. Not sure how I find that motivation again.

So, I’m trying new things. I just bought a groupon for some zumba classes. I’m going to try out a Saturday morning class. This goes against everything I think Saturdays are for, but it seems to be the right fit right now. And I am consistently attending two other classes throughout the week, so I would at least have 3 workouts a week in. My goal though is to get up to the point where I exercise 5 days a week.

Anyway, how does the rest of the world fit it in? Am I missing a big, great secret to making the time?
