So many good ideas. I can't do cardio at home (I live in a top-floor apartment) but I can do body weight strength training to the workout DVDs I have. I get them from the library or record something off of Fit TV on my DVR. I love the other comments! So many good ideas.

Even I have a lack of motivation in doing my household works these days. And I know how irritating it gets when you have to play with your dogs even when you've just returned tired from or or somewhere else. But I must say it also makes you very happy within. I think you should start making full access to your weights now. I'm sure you'll win the "fight" against your odds. You have such gorgeous looking dogs. They are very cute. Thanks for sharing this wonderful post. -Julie A severe lack of motivation or ambition to work out once I cross the threshold of my house.

I struggle with similar feelings all the time. I want to do everything and be everything all at once. I want to have a perfectly clean and organized apartment, a great wardrobe, money in the bank, go on vacations, stay home and relax, start a business, write an amazing blog with all the bells and whistles, read a lot, maintain all my friendships, stay up-to-date with family, connect with my husband, go to yoga, eat really healthy meals. It's not like any of these things are unattainable. But at a certain point you just have to pick what's most important right now. Other things can wait. Great reminder, Katy!

I love Bailey to death, but arranging my life around his bladder makes it difficult sometimes. I have him on a schedule where I can stay later at work/work out/do something after work so I don't feel like I'm entirely tied down to his schedule.

We dedicated our unfinished basement to a home gym and while we put in a decent bit of money (gradually) it's been awesome. Between running outside and that, I haven't belonged to a gym in over 5 years.

Do you work near enough to your house to come home and let the dogs out on your lunch break? That way you might be able to get to the gym right after work without having to come home!

The Good News Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:11:22 +0000 http://katywidrick.com/?p=7431#comment-13160 I've got 2 high energy dogs also & they need to run. I like going out early in the morning & I can let them off leash in the local park (I'm lucky they don't run away). I get my exercise in & feel better the rest of the day (even less guilty!), the dogs get some great exercise & are a little less nuts (see post below on crazy dogs). Also, how about cross fit? I think the workouts are very short & might give you some ideas of things you could do at home or with minimal equipment. GOOD LUCK! I’ve got 2 high energy dogs also & they need to run.
