Working Out Mom, Never So Sane

Monday couldn't have started out better. Rain, rain and more rain that makes a whole city declare an accepted state of tardiness. So what's a mom to do after dropping jr. off at school. That's right, if you're like me, an addicted workout mom, you pounce on the opportunity for some gym time. Rain, nor floods will stop a majority of NY moms from burning calories from last night's more-than-5 oz glass of pure antioxidant vino and 72% dark chocolate. Not even being late for work - especially on rainy days like today.
Honestly, how are moms supposed to do it if they don't steal the time whenever they can?
It's not like our jobs, hubby's, babysitters or schedules are thrilled about us not being there to muli-task and manage every minute of every day. In a time of "hot moms" and always being pulled in many directions, isn't it nice to hop on the treadmill, stick in your ipod ear phones and zone out to entertainment reality news like Extra, Top Model or even The Hills and be glad you're life hasn't become exploited reality on Super Nanny (although you secretly wish she would show up at your doorstep sans the cameras).
The way I see it, being in"the zone" while working out has taken on a new meaning - beyond burning the belly fat from my last child 5 years ago. It's a 30-minute reprive of reality that enables oneself to experience pure and healthy self-sanity.
Rain hats off to your zone of sanity!
