Mid Life crisis?

I thought men were the only ones to have mid life crisis's? I turned 39 this week and the build up to my birthday was constant thoughts on...I must get fit...I must get fit. Having read other blogs on fitness and running I decided that the only way to get myself motivated was to write about it.
Pre children I used to regularly exercise, in fact it was a bit of an obsession! I grew up as a swimmer, reaching county level and then continued through teenage and early adulthood doing exercise classes. Any fitness fanatic will understand the drive to do more and keep the momentum going.I started again when my daughter was 2yrs old, by putting her in the gym creche 3 times a week. Of course it all stopped again once my second child came along. I started back for a while but my 'baby' wasn't so happy to be left this time around so I 'happily' gave it up as I was finding it a bit of a chore. Nearly 3 years on I am desperate to get fit and start achieving some of my goals. Those I will disclose later once I have started! I am hoping that by blogging I might keep the inspiration going. More importantly I want to prove to my husband that I CAN do it! I'm not always all talk and no action!
Next it is finding the time. Yes, everyone says there is always time if you make it. I agree but it is breaking the habit of sitting in front of the sofa every night when my husband is home ( he works shifts!) or less enthusiastically getting up early and doing something before work! All very well but anything I do has to be done around my husbands shifts which is a pain in the derriere! So, welcome to my blog and I hope to prove to myself and to my nearest & dearest that I can do it. I hope you enjoy reading!
