I have been struggling lately finding balance in my life. For short period of time, I was able to focus most of my time on my family, but I wasn't doing enough for myself and I was not happy. When I decided to focus more on myself and swim more often, I wasn't very happy with how much time I was spending away from my family. The past few months, work interrupted my swimming schedule and other life happenings required most of my focus; now my swimming has been much less than what I want it to be. I want to find a happy balance between all three. I know that compared to some of you that I am still young, but I worry that my life is slipping away and I am not enjoying it as much as I can.
I am curious as to how to find that magical balance and be happy with all three, or if I am looking for something that does not exist. Thanks.

Home equipment is wonderful!
When my kids were young I had a treadmill (I hate running on them but it's better than nothing if you can't get out of the house),weights, and dvd's to exercise by.
I remember one day I couldn't leave the kids and it was beautiful outside so I ran laps around my yard/cul-de-sac for 75 minutes! My neighbors were sitting on their deck having cocktails; needless to say they made fun of me the whole time!
Just get creative and anything can be yours!
Hear hear - I have a Concept 2 at home and have been known to spend two hours exercising on it before starting a "normal day". It is possible but not easy. :applaud:
