Make time to exercise? When?

Last night I set my clock for 6:00 a.m. in the hopes I'd spring out of bed, throw on some workout clothes, and go for a walk. When 6:00 a.m happened, though, I hit the alarm immediately and slept until 7:20. Ooops. I usually leave for work at 7:30.

So all day long I beat myself up for my lack of self-discipline but promised myself I'd take the time this evening with my hard earned Wii Fit. (For those of you who don't know - we had a Wii for a while. Then I sold it to a friend because we never used it. Then I had an ephinany - I could lose weight by using Wii Fit. Now only to convice my wonderful hubby to buy me another. Which he did. And which has been used twice since that time. )

I got off work at 5:05, headed to Publix for some quick meal ideas, picked up my sweet boy at daycare, and finally made it home a little after 6:00. Bills had not been paid this month because of our vacation time. Finally finished paying bills around 7:00. Then started dinner - a gourmet meal of Hamburger Helper. While dinner was cooking, I played with John Lewis and emptied the dishwasher. Then we ate, gave the baby a bath, watched The Wonder Pets (What's going to work? Teamwork!) put him to bed, and loaded the dishwasher. Ironed my clothes for the following day and looked at the time: 9:15.

Who wants to work out at 9:15? Not me. I'm sure there are very dedicated people who don't sleep well until they have exerted physical energy. I'm the kind that doesn't sleep no matter what. Plus I had a new book to read. So again, I postponed any physical activity until tomorrow. If I were a betting woman, I'd say tomorrow looks the same as today.

I need a kick in the rear. I can't keep getting disappointed because I'm getting bigger by the moment if I don't commit to some kind of exercise. Anyone have any pointers?

Time for bed. Again. I go to bed many times but don't really fall asleep until 12:00 or so. Maybe I should work out then? Too tired.
