This Sista Ain't Sedentary!

I realized about a week ago that I don't have a sedentary lifestyle. I was thinking about/planning the time to start my workout regimen (perhaps around spring break), and most of the times when I am not following an exercise regimen, I have a "sedentary" lifestyle. But as I thought about starting my exercise program, I realized that that just isn't the case at this season in my life.   To start, at work I walk a lot. My school building is of decent proportions and I see about 20 kiddos per day, not all at the same time. So, most of the time I travel to their regular classrooms to pick them up and take them to my classroom for their time with me.   Then there's home...   I'm always talking about how I don't have time to sit down and watch my favorite television shows, but rather I listen to them as they play on the television while I'm doing whatever it is I need to do at that time. The only one I make time to sit down for is Scandal, go Scandal! But on commercials, I'm up doing something.   I have a 2 year old. When we get home, I don't even take off my work clothes, I'm usually trying to get something ready for him to eat and if I happen to be cooking for hubby and me too, then I'm also working on that. He eats, then he plays for a bit as I work on business-related things (more on that later) and then it's bathtime for the little guy, brushing teeth, putting on pajamas, filling up his humidifier (most nights), reading a bed time story, praying with him, singing him a song and putting him to bed. None of this is done while sitting except the story! Since he's two, I still pretty much do all of the above for him. He has started to zip up his own sleeper pajamas. :) If hubby is home, then he does the night night routine while I work my business.    Most of my evenings are spent working on my business. I am making products, jarring and bottling products, labeling products, packing orders to ship, printing shipping labels, moving boxes from one place to another. I use three rooms in my house for various business things, so I'm all over the house sometimes when working on the business and trying to get orders processed. The only thing I might do while sitting is tape up boxes that are packed and ready to go. Everything else is a standing appointment!   When I'm feeling worn out, I try to think of Beyoncé and how hard she says she has worked to get where she is. I do believe in the principal of reaping and sowing. It applies across the board. If I sow my effort, even when I'm tired, into my business, then I believe I'll reap the fruits of that effort.   Anywhoo, it was really cool to realize that even though I'm not doing any kind of structured exercise right now, I am not a sedentary girl, not right now!
