		<description><![CDATA[When someone says, "Now I know why I used to be skinny, too, I was burning all those calories chasing my kids," a small voice inside me yearns to receive some credit for the fact that I have to work HARD darnit to take off baby pounds, and not just once, FOUR times!  I should be a freakin' pro at weight loss by now!  Yes, I have learned a lot, and yes, I do take the weight off, at least by 1 year post partum, but I sweat and strain for every pound I lose!  I WISH it were as easy as just "chasing after my kids" - SHEESH!  Anyway, no matter what people think, or what excuses they want to make for themselves, the reward, for me, is not in the compliments, it is in the satisfaction I feel when I put on my pre-4th-baby favorite pair of Joe's Jeans!  My reward is the 9 miles I can run, because I am grateful for a healthy body that I can discipline and train, a body that has delivered four healthy children into this world and that gets me around in life and allows me to enjoy every blessing in each present day!

&#8220;Running gets it done,&#8221; is what a friend of mine once told me a couple years ago when I first started to run.  I have never forgotten what he said and now, two years later, I have a better understanding of what he meant by that.  Running is empowering, in a mental and physical way, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Obstacle #3: Socks....lots and lots of SOCKS

This post is a long time coming......because I have not overcome this paticular obstacle yet!  I am desperately hoping that my readers will be able to help me with this one.  Let me spell out the obstacle a little more clearly:  L-A-U-N-D-R-Y.  Yes, laundry.  How does a mom who is motivated to exercise get through the loads and loads of laundry (not to mention housework) generated on a daily basis by her family? 

I mean, it is kind of depressing for me to consider that in the amount of time it takes me to SORT, FOLD and PUT AWAY clean socks for six people (and what do I do with the singles that emerge from the dryer without their partners? I STILL don't know)  I could have completed at least one 20 minute, sweaty, calorie-burning, body-sculpting workout, getting me one step closer to reaching my weight-loss goals!  Drives me crazy.  So here are my unsuccessful solutions so far.....
