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.....]]></description>
