Me a Scheduler?

I never wanted to be an over obsessive scheduler. I like being flexible and not having set plans all the time. If I say maybe, that really means maybe. If I say no, that really means no. And if I say Yes, most of the time that means yes unless some other thing comes up that has to be dealt with. That is why this Body for Life thing is such a challenge for me. I have to set a work out schedule for when I can go to the gym. That means James has to be home with Janen. So I either work out early in the morning (yeah, right) or in the evening two hours after dinner. So usually 8 or 9 PM. The kind of work out required (weight training and aerobics done at interval training) means that I have to actually go to the gym, not just work out at home because we don't have a home gym at our disposal. Also, how does one not be rude when someone invites you over to do something that same day at the time you normally work out? Kind of messes with things for me because I have such a small window of when I can actually do it. One, I don't want to be rude and two, I want to make friends so I am not discouraging any invites of any kind. What I am really saying is, this kind of lifestyle is honestly not for me at this time. I was so hoping that it would be. James doesn't get invited anywhere (like girl's nights) like I do so this hasn't been too much of a problem for him. Maybe next semester when our schedules change a little I will be able to try again and work out on UVU campus after or before class. It's all about scheduling when you can do it and with a baby at home there isn't a lot of opportunity to go so when you miss the boat, you miss the boat.

Sometimes those days come where going to the gym is really not an option. I would like to be able to do something at home (push-ups, sit-ups, yoga, pilates, etc) and have it count towards this program, but it doesn't really. There are specific guidelines to achieving the results promised. But I am proud of James for sticking with it. Our challenges are just different. It seems to me that he has none!
