Healthier Me, Step One: Stepping Out

Evening bellydance practice has not been very successful, to be honest.  Jasmine's been getting home late from school, due to an after-school math class that she was selected for.  She doesn't get home until nearly dinnertime, so we have to do her homework after dinner, so that rather eats up what time and energy I have then.  No big deal, life happens, and it just didn't end up to be a good time for me right now.

Considering all of this, I went for a walk this morning.  It wasn't as long as I'd normally go, only about 15 minutes, when I'd normally go about 30.  but it was something, and felt pretty good.  I went right after I got Jasmine on the bus, since I was outside anyway.  I know this won't always work for me.  Sometimes I have to take Jasmine to school in the mornings for choir practice, and I try to run errands early in the day, so I'm not stressed about rushing home in time for Kyle's bus.  But mostly, I think it'll be good.  Get my walk in right then, before I even go back into the house to finish my coffee.  Moving forward, this is what I'm going to try to do, to make my exercise schedule flexible.

- 30 minute walk in the morning, right after breakfast and/or getting the kids off to school.
- 20 to 30 minute belly dance practice in the evenings, right after dinner is cleaned up, and homework is done.

Hopefully I'll be able to at least one or the other each day, if not both.  I'll try to keep track, and see how I do this week with that.  :)
