The best laid plans…

of mice and men never account for family, weekends away and slow moving house remodels.  Excuses?  Okay.  Lack of discipline?  Maybe.  Mixed up priorities?  Certainly not!

While I had every intention of making my 90 days exercise project a reality, things just got in the way.  Some were fun things, like vacation to Captiva and a weekend away in Key West.  Others were house projects, such as remodeling our garage into a laundry/utility/exercise room for Dawn’s birthday (still in progress, btw).  And then there are just days that are taken up by work, church activities, family responsibilities, etc.  Getting up early to workout seemed like a good plan until nights were late.  Working out at night only works sometimes too.  What can you do?

So, part of me wants to apologize to Katie and AP (and our other readers) for not following through on the commitment I made to the exercise and the blog.  And I do apologize.  But only for some of the missed workouts.  There were times where I chose not to workout in lue of participating in some of the aforementioned activities.  And I wouldn’t trade time with my wife, hanging with Jonas, fixing our home, or time with our church family for a workout or many workouts.  I’d guess it’s a matter of priorities. 

Now, I will totally admit to being lazy some of the time as well.  Some workouts were given away to free time.  A movie here, sleeping in there, and football can be thrown in the mix too.  I guess I’m trying to say my workout plan, while having the best intention, didn’t take into account the many other things that would compete for time.

I have every intention of working out on the regular, playing basketball weekly and walking/jogging with Preggo.  But for now, I’ve got to figure out a better balance of it all.  And perhaps it’s good to get this out of the way now, knowing that in less than 4 months I’ll want to spend all my time with my wife and daughter!  How will I workout then?!?!
