I exercise because I feel better when I do and I am much more able to cope with motherhood and deal wiht crisis. I am much nicer when I do it faithfully.
Also it's a good example to my kids about keeping fit. I just recently lost 50 pounds and could not have done it wth out exercise. My oldest daughter struggles with being over weight so I try to be a good example.
Exercise gives me my needed time alone to think my thoughts and pray. I've had friends offer to come along but I politely decline their offer.
Most times I do a walk/ jog routine but sometimes I go hiking. At times it means that I have to give other things up or let a little cleaning go. But as I said I feel better and I parent better when I exercise. I also have the support of a wonderful hubby who does alot to make sure I get out the door.
