For Smart Mama: Breville BOV800XL Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ

Being a mom to 5 kids I know the excuses.

I don't have the time.

I'm tired.

I have little kids

I don't like exercising

I like to sleep in

I don't want to exercise with my kids around

On and on. I've had many conversations with moms of young kids who I think look at me and forget I have been where they are. In fact I have been where they are with a deployed husband.  I'm not writing this to toot my own horn. I'm writing this because I believe everyone can find the time, make the time.

Each morning I see this woman,

sorry I know it's not the best photo but I saw her as I came from my back yard after my run. I tried to get my camera out to catch her as she ran by. She is pushing a double stroller with 2 little ones inside. On her back a backpack with her water.  She makes no excuses. She loads her kids up in the morning and she runs.  I find her inspiring to all of those who say it's not possible.  She doesn't sit at home feeling sorry for herself because she doesn't have someone to watch the kids while she runs. She goes and takes charge of the situation. She RUNS!!!!

Way to go mom!!

If you have kids what kind of obstacles did you or are you trying to overcome in order to get your workout in?
