One thing to remember, you get the SAME benefit if you break up your exercise into 2-3 smaller sets. So, you could walk 20 min. in the morning, 20 at lunch and 20 before/after dinner and get the EXACT SAME benefit as a 60-min. walk! I find it's easier to do it this way and I actually get MORE exercise in because I can easily find 20 min. here and there throughout the day!

In trying to make exercise a part of my weekly routine, I have struggled with the perfect time. Honestly, it would be about 8-9am after I've had breakfast and before school, but I tried that and it threw off the rest of the day. VERY early morning isn't good either. So, for now, we have settled on late afternoon or early evening once hubby gets home. I have a fitness center membership and their daycare opens at 4pm, so I drop off my 10 yo son and my 12 yo daughter and I go work out ... we beat the 5pm crowd which is a great thing. I have a treadmill at home, but I think I may sell it because we have started running at the local park (3 min. drive away) as a family and I have the treadmill at the fitness center.

Good luck!

Did you check out my schedule on my blog? (It's under the BOOT CAMP posts...) I understand completely... I used to make schedules that would start at 6 in the morning... but I'm not a morning person, so I was set up for failure from the start... praying for you.

Please spread the word...



In Him,

I am sending out a "mass apology" to everyone I told about "The Clean Heart, Clean Home Challenge". I have received some comments in regard to leaving the button on people's blogs and I feel the best way to make sure there aren't others who are offended, is to apologize to those I sent the notice to.

I feel just horrible that some thought I was "advertising" in some way when my intention was to share with other homeschoolers what I was offering as encouragement and a way for us to join together.

If you are one who was upset by my post, please feel free to delete it and email me or leave a comment on my page and I will personally apologize. To those who have joined in The Challenge, I'm so looking forward to what the Lord has in store for us and hope we will all be able to bless our families and grow in the Lord through it! Thank you most importantly for seeing my heart. I never meant to disregard anyone's post when I left the comment about the Challenge, and want you all to know that anything you ever have to say to me, whether on topic or not, is more than welcome on my blog. I will also be making a new category on my blog that will list those of you who don't mind getting urgent prayer requests or information from time to time. I hope this way I will be able to avoid upsetting anyone similarly in the future.

Thanks for allowing me to comment on your blog. I hope you will accept my apology (and not be upset that I'm "off topic" from your post, but I have many people to get to still tonight).

In Him,
Amy Verlennich
