Balancing The Chaos

Getting Back To Fitness | @SexyMomsRun

Disclosure: I was invited to participate on a blog tour, to help get the word out about family fitness and help raise awareness of the Sexy Mom’s Running Club. For my participation, I received a gift bag with goodies. In no way did this influence my opinion.

Lately, I have to admit, I have been really lazy. Hubby says I need to get out and get active again with my Zumba class. He is so right! I felt so much better when I was attending a fitness class regularly.

My laziness began when the kids picked up a summer cold. I was so focused on getting them better. Then I caught their germs. As usual, that cold didn’t stop me from attending events and other commitments, running myself ragged that I think I developed walking pneumonia (totally self diagnosed since I never went to the doctor). At that point, all I wanted to do was sleep.
